[Intro] [glitchy arps rising] Static screens Sirens fade Midnight markets Bidding wars in the rain [Verse 1] Cold code On my fingertip Wallet in the shadows Keyed to my heartbeat Skyscraper ads Selling tired old kings I’m trading back alleys For unchained things Data in my jacket Heat in the vents Every block I’m stacking Bends their fence [Chorus] Break the chains — BTC runs my veins I don’t owe a throne a single cent Break the chains — BTC runs my veins They can keep their crowns and their cement Break the chains — BTC runs my veins All their paper walls go up in flames Break the chains — BTC runs my veins This future’s earned Not bought with names [Verse 2] Masks on At the market stall QR glow Like a secret call Old world credits Rust in their hands We pass sparks Across rusted rails Every peer a lighthouse Cutting through smoke Every signed promise Another shackle broke [Chorus] Break the chains — BTC runs my veins I don’t owe a throne a single cent Break the chains — BTC runs my veins They can keep their crowns and their cement Break the chains — BTC runs my veins All their paper walls go up in flames Break the chains — BTC runs my veins This future’s earned Not bought with names [Bridge] [robotic speech Stuttered] One block Two block Three block Clear [beat tightens Leads creep in] You signed the ledger You wrote your name In the fire of math Outside their game No gate No guard Just proof you paid With time and light Not old charades [Chorus] Break the chains — BTC runs my veins I don’t owe a throne a single cent Break the chains — BTC runs my veins They can keep their crowns and their cement Break the chains — BTC runs my veins All their paper walls go up in flames Break the chains — BTC runs my veins This future’s earned We write our names [Outro] [final drop Chopped vocal echoes] Break the chains Runs my veins (hey) Future won Not bought again
