[Intro – stomps + claps, voice low and rhythmic] [Stomp, clap, clap] Pulled in deep… won’t let go [Stomp, clap, clap] Tried to drown me… I said no [Verse 1 – steady, primal beat] Mud on my chest, weight of the ground Voices around me, pulling me down I feel the grip, tight like a fist But I rise louder— I will resist! [Pre-Chorus – building, layered stomps] Hold me under, I won’t fade Drag me lower, I won’t break Every chain becomes my song Every scar just makes me strong [Chorus – massive chant, war-cry rhythm] Roots drag down—WE WON’T DROWN! [Stomp, clap, clap] Roots drag down—WE WON’T DROWN! [Stomp, clap, clap] Raise that sound—shake the ground! Roots drag down—WE WON’T DROWN! [Swampy Guitar Solo] [Verse 2 – tight, punchy] Eyes in the dark, whisper my name Fear in my chest, fuel for the flame Sink or fight, I choose to rise Blood in my voice, fire in my eyes [Pre-Chorus – even bigger build] Hold me under, I won’t fade Drag me lower, I won’t break Every chain becomes my song Every scar just makes me strong [Chorus – repeat, with gang shouts layered] Roots drag down—WE WON’T DROWN! [Stomp, clap, clap] Roots drag down—WE WON’T DROWN! [Stomp, clap, clap] Raise that sound—shake the ground! Roots drag down—WE WON’T DROWN! [Instrumental Post-Chorus] [Breakdown – pure war cry, call-and-response] (Who won’t break?) I WON’T BREAK! (Who won’t bow?) I WON’T BOW! (Who’s still standing now?) I AM! I AM! ROOTS CAN’T DRAG ME DOWN! [Final Chorus – stadium explosion, layered chants] Roots drag down—WE WON’T DROWN! [Stomp, clap, clap] Roots drag down—WE WON’T DROWN! [Stomp, clap, clap] Raise that sound—shake the ground! Roots drag down—WE WON’T DROWN! [Outro – fading chant, percussion echo] We won’t drown… [Stomp, clap, clap] We won’t drown… [Stomp, clap, clap] Roots drag down— We won’t drown.
