[Verse 1] They came in suits with a smile Paper hands, polished lies Said, "Let us smooth the edges" Turn the code into a prize But we watched that slow invasion Every boardroom little prayer Every buyout, every merger Trying to cage the thing in there [Pre-Chorus] We know the play We read the draft They want the keys Then change the map But if they reach For protocol [Chorus] Fork the chain Fork the chain Keep it out their hands Fork the chain Fork the chain We don't fold for banks (We don't fold) (We don't break) We were built to split the gate [Verse 2] Old wallets in the cellar Cold nodes running late at night Seed words on a folded napkin Passed around in blacked-out light Every node is somebody's witness Every check is somebody's scar If they make it Wall Street glitter They can keep their brand-new jar [Pre-Chorus] We know the play We read the draft They want the keys Then change the map But if they reach For protocol [Chorus] Fork the chain Fork the chain Keep it out their hands Fork the chain Fork the chain We don't fold for banks (We don't fold) (We don't break) We were built to split the gate [Bridge] Not for sale Not for rent Not for some polished tent On every screen In every frame They want the crown We want the game Let them come with polished terms We come back with a thousand nodes One hard truth One open road [Final Chorus] Fork the chain Fork the chain Keep it out their hands Fork the chain Fork the chain We don't fold for banks (We don't fold) (We don't break) We were built to split the gate Fork the chain Fork the chain Let the system shake
