(Verse 1) They wore that power like armor, like nobody could touch them. Built their names up on fear, then acted shocked when we judged them. They thought a title made a giant, thought a badge made them truth. But the higher they climbed on our silence, the harder they fell from the proof. They tried to make pain look normal, tried to make lies sound clean. But people remember the pressure of being crushed by someone else’s dream. (Pre-Chorus) Power ain’t power when it has to abuse, fear ain’t respect when the people refuse. Every hand they forced, every voice they drowned, became the fire that’s burning them down. (Chorus) We don’t bow to broken crowns, we don’t kneel on stolen ground. You can build your throne up high, truth still brings the mighty down. We don’t run, we don’t hide, we got scars and we got pride. You tried to bury us beneath the weight, but we rose up from the other side. No, we don’t bow. No, we don’t break. You mistook our silence for the power you could take. (Verse 2) They called it order, called it law, but we saw the cracks in the wall. Every promise came with a chain, every warning came with a fall. They thought obedience was weakness, thought resistance was a crime. But you can’t own a human spirit just by stealing someone’s time. And when the ones they tried to silence started standing face to face, all that power turned to panic, all that pride turned into shame. (Pre-Chorus) Power ain’t power when it feeds on fear, truth gets louder when the people hear. Every wound they left, every soul they scarred, only made the rising hit harder. (Chorus) We don’t bow to broken crowns, we don’t kneel on stolen ground. You can build your throne up high, truth still brings the mighty down. We don’t run, we don’t hide, we got scars and we got pride. You tried to bury us beneath the weight, but we rose up from the other side. No, we don’t bow. No, we don’t break. You mistook our silence for the power you could take. (Bridge / Rap Break) Look at you now, hands shaking on the crown, whole kingdom trembling when the truth comes out. You thought control made you chosen somehow, but the people you broke are the voices now. No throne lasts forever, no lie owns the light. No fear can survive when the wounded unite. You can dress it up pretty, call it power, call it right, but abuse always loses when the truth learns to fight. (Final Chorus) We don’t bow to broken crowns, we don’t kneel on stolen ground. You can build your throne up high, truth still brings the mighty down. We don’t run, we don’t hide, we got scars and we got pride. You tried to bury us beneath the weight, but we rose up from the other side. No, we don’t bow. No, we don’t break. You mistook our silence for the power you could take. No, we don’t bow. No, we don’t break. The real victor is the one you couldn’t make afraid.
