[Verse 1] They slid in soft with a cornered smile, Like a small white lie dressed up in style. “Take one hit, just take one shot,” But the room went cold and the answer was not. We read the itch behind the shiny talk, Saw the bait in the way they walked. You don’t get a key to the shape of me, I am not for sale, I am not free. [Pre-Chorus] The pull got loud, The pulse ran wild. But we stood tall, And said it clear: You can lean, you can plead, You can dress it up nice, We answer to truth, Not your disguise. [Chorus] We’re not taking that, no We’re not taking that We’re not taking that anymore We won’t bend, we won’t break We won’t kneel, we won’t shake We won’t crawl to your door [Verse 2] They brought in tricks in a polished pack, Soft little promises with a hidden crack. “Give us your time, give us your name,” Then they smile while they light the flame. We saw the trap in the velvet speech, The hook in the hand, the lie in reach. So we backed up slow with a steady stare, If it costs our souls, we’re not going there. [Pre-Chorus] The pull got loud, The pulse ran wild. But we stood tall, And said it clear: You can lean, you can plead, You can dress it up nice, We answer to truth, Not your disguise. [Chorus] We’re not taking that, no We’re not taking that We’re not taking that anymore We won’t bend, we won’t break We won’t kneel, we won’t shake We won’t crawl to your door [Verse 3] Now the night gets rough and the hands get near, Selling the same old poison dressed as cheer. But the deeper the drag, the darker the deal, And we know that lie by the way it feels. So drop that bottle, drop that screen, Drop the whole machine between. We got names, we got bones, we got skin, we got pride, And nothing you push is getting inside. [Bridge] [Half-time] Say it plain Say it loud Not your chain Not your crowd Try your best Try your worst We were born For the first [Verse 4] So come with your whisper, come with your pitch, Come with your “just once,” come with your twitch. We’ve seen the mask and we know the game, The sweet little poison wears the same old name. You can pull all night, you can call all day, But you will not move what we say. We stand our ground where the truth runs through, And the strongest thing here is refusing you. [Final Chorus] We’re not taking that, no We’re not taking that We’re not taking that anymore We won’t bend, we won’t break We won’t kneel, we won’t shake We won’t crawl to your door We’re not taking that, no We’re not taking that We’re not taking that anymore
