[Intro] Yeah, this one’s for the voices they try to silence, For the powers they fear, for the people they cage. No shame in who we are. Cali Chrome, let’s go. [Verse 1] I was born with the spark, but they call it a curse, Tell me register my name, like my power’s a thirst. 1992, they wrote us in ink, Said we ain’t free, like they own how we think. They call it the Champion Act, but it’s all lies, Box us up, stack us up, watch how freedom dies. They say we dangerous, but we just livin' true, No shame in the flame or the things we can do. Superhuman blood, but they treat us like freaks, Well, I’m Cali Chrome, I ain’t playin’ for peace. [Chorus] No shame, no chains, can’t lock us down, We rise from the underground. You can fear what you don’t understand, But we’re takin’ back this land. No shame, no chains, we fightin' back, Tearin’ down your Champion Act. [Verse 2] Started in L.A., just a handful of us, Now the city’s on fire, and we kickin' up dust. They tried to classify me like I’m somethin’ to file, But I ain’t your system’s, I’m breakin’ the dial. They see power, they see threat, they see us as blame, But we see people, we see rights, we see no shame. You can’t cage the storm, can’t silence the spark, We light up the sky when you leave us in dark. And they wanna test us, track us, tell us how to be, But we fightin’ for the ones who just wanna live free. [Chorus] No shame, no chains, can’t lock us down, We rise from the underground. You can fear what you don’t understand, But we’re takin’ back this land. No shame, no chains, we fightin' back, Tearin’ down your Champion Act. [Bridge] We march for the rights they try to erase, For the people they shun, for the lives they chase. No more numbers, no more labels or fear, We louder than ever, the message is clear. From Cali to Vegas, Seattle to the Bay, We rise as one, ‘cause we’re done bein' prey. No Shame Movement, we hold the line, Superhuman pride, it’s our time to shine. [Chorus] No shame, no chains, can’t lock us down, We rise from the underground. You can fear what you don’t understand, But we’re takin’ back this land. No shame, no chains, we fightin' back, Tearin’ down your Champion Act. [Outro] This ain’t a rebellion, it’s a revolution, Tear down the walls of your institution. Cali Chrome, I’m speakin’ truth, We got no shame, and we got no use— For your laws, your fears, your broken views, We takin’ our power back, it’s overdue. No shame, no chains, it’s a new day, You can’t stop us, we here to stay.
