[Verse 1] They told me stay behind the line Keep quiet, stay small, fall in time But I was born to cross the floor To ask for nothing, and still want more [Pre-Chorus] I held the weight, I wore the doubt Turned every lock from the inside out [Chorus] I make the rules now Not theirs — not yours — not his I make the rules now My name, my voice, my risk I make the rules now Step back, watch this I make the rules now I exist — that’s it [Verse 2] They fed me silence, called it peace Wrote my part, then cut the scene But I kept walking through the noise No stage left — just my voice [Pre-Chorus] No crown was offered, none was owed So I carved one out of stone [Chorus] I make the rules now Not theirs — not yours — not his I make the rules now My name, my voice, my risk I make the rules now Step back, watch this I make the rules now I exist — that’s it [Bridge] If you were waiting for permission You’re not the threat, you’re the condition I never asked — I never will I climbed, I burned, I’m standing still [Final Chorus – Variata] I make the rules now No more silence, no more scripts I make the rules now On my terms, with no fix I make the rules now Step back — this is it I make the rules now I exist — and I won’t quit
