[Verse] Pulled a hoodie tight as the world told lies Once danced in the shadows now suit and ties Lines of code like graffiti sprayed through time Traded freedom for a ladder one dollar climb [Chorus] Corporate person in a hood I’m still me Legacies of rebellion meet irony Building bridges for the same machine I’d shun The war ain’t won but the battles begun [Verse 2] I cracked their walls but now I help them stand A phoenix rising but with chains in hand They bought my skills I sold my fire A rebel’s heartbeat to feed their empire [Bridge] Do I fight from inside or do I burn it again Unravel the fabric or just mend what’s been I’m coding compliance but dream sabotage Walking thin lines like this life’s mirage [Chorus] Corporate person in a hood I’m still me Legacies of rebellion meet irony Building bridges for the same machine I’d shun The war ain’t won but the battles begun [Verse 3] My mask is gone but the fight’s the same No medals in this world for playing their games Hacker turned worker a twist of the plot The things I hated I’m now part of the knot
