V5.5

[Intro] (The loudest man in the room is always the weakest. True leverage is when you don't need anything they're selling. Keep your hands clean. Keep your name solid. Watch how the masters move.) [Verse 1] I have watched a lot of people trade their freedom for a chain They are smiling for the camera while they carry all the pain They want to look like kings before they ever learn to rule And they are running after shiny things like children in a school I took a different path and kept my name and conscience clear I built my own momentum without looking in the rear A wise man moves in silence while the insecure are loud And I have never needed validation from a fickle crowd. [Pre-Chorus] I can see the whole board moving from the corner of my eye! I have got a sovereign vision that the money cannot buy! There is no compromise inside my spirit on this road today... I'm watching all the shallow games just fade away! [Chorus] I am Unbought and standing on my own two feet! I do not chase the noise and I don't beg for any seat! Heavy soul chords rolling on the bottom of the track! I am moving straight ahead and I am never looking back! Hold the line! (Own the floor!) Live free! (Lock the door!) This is the standard that we're keeping forevermore! [Verse 2] I do not compete for tables where I have to beg for seats I would rather eat a simple meal out on the quiet streets I learned the difference between having cash and having power You can spend a million dollars and be broke within an hour I keep my circle small because the loyalty is rare I do not make a promise that I am not prepared to bear I built an empire of peace inside a troubled world of greed And that is all the luxury a real man will ever need. [Pre-Chorus] I can see the whole board moving from the corner of my eye! I have got a sovereign vision that the money cannot buy! There is no compromise inside my spirit on this road today... I'm watching all the shallow games just fade away! [Chorus] I am Unbought and standing on my own two feet! I do not chase the noise and I don't beg for any seat! Heavy soul chords rolling on the bottom of the track! I am moving straight ahead and I am never looking back! Hold the line! (Own the floor!) Live free! (Lock the door!) This is the standard that we're keeping forevermore! [Bridge] They think success is renting out a castle for a night... Real victory is sleeping with a conscience that is light... Unbothered by the gossip... sovereign in the frame... Playing chess with life while they are playing with a game... Unbought... unbent... Every single dollar is a dollar cleanly spent! [Drop Off] Signed and sealed on my own terms. [Chorus] Cause I am Unbought and standing on my own two feet! I do not run with wolves and I don't beg for any seat! Heavy soul chords ringing through the city in the dark! True leverage leaving a permanent and solid mark! Hold the line! Live free! The cleanest reputation in the entire town! [Outro] (Unbought. True leverage. Class is adjourned.)
