Try Me

( Instrumental melody goes immediately into verse 1) Verse 1 Walk in like somebody left the cage unlocked, Whole room freeze when the bassline knocks. Built from busted amps, duct tape, bad luck, Every "can't" I ever heard got crushed by a dump truck. You brought a sharp tongue... I brought an avalanche. You brought a little spark... I brought the power plant. My pulse got kick drums, My lungs got gasoline. Your whole game folded Before the smoke machine. You tweet... I thunder. You bark... I hunt ya. Every time you draw a line... I'm already on the other side. Pre-Chorus You came for a showdown... I came for a headline. Every second you're still standing... Is borrowed time. So take one good look... Remember this face. 'Cause once that beat drops... There ain't no brakes. Chorus TRY ME! Go ahead... Roll those dice. Step across the line— Let's see who survives. Swing first... Talk big... Bring everything you got. You ain't fighting me... You're fighting every scar. Verse 2 You ain't standing on a mountain... You're standing on my echoes. Every place I've ever played Still rattles from the hello. I don't chase crowns... I make 'em look rented. You decorate your résumé... I leave buildings reinvented. Pre-Chorus Some build walls. Some build names. Some build prisons... I build flames. Chorus TRY ME! Go ahead... Roll those dice. Step across the line— Let's see who survives. Swing first... Talk big... Bring everything you got. You ain't fighting me... You're fighting every scar. Bridge You hear noise... I hear freedom. You hear trouble... I hear rhythm. You hear warning signs... I hear invitations. Different ears. Different destinations. Breakdown Everybody got a plan... Till the kick drum caves the ceiling in. Everybody got a speech... Till the crowd starts speaking louder. Everybody got opinions... Till the lights go nuclear. Then the room gets quiet... Not because they're scared... Because they're waiting... For the next line. Final Chorus TRY ME! Go ahead... Roll those dice. Step across the line— Let's see who survives. Swing first... Talk big... Bring everything you got. You ain't fighting me... You're fighting every scar. Outro I don't need the last word... I let the speakers say it. I don't need permission... I already played it. So if you're still standing... Good. Come a little closer. Because legends... Don't start With easy opponents.
