Intro (Heavy drum stomp + crowd booing faintly) “Defending champs…” “Everybody’s circling this date…” (Guitar riff cuts in sharp.) ⸻ Verse 1 Used to walk in under radar Now we walk in circled red Every locker room got our picture Pinned up over their heads They ain’t studying for a test They studying how to end us We went from chasing respect To everybody’s agenda Road crowds louder than ever Middle fingers in the air They don’t chant our names They just dare us to care Every hit a little later Every shove a little longer They don’t want a win They want to knock off the conqueror ⸻ Pre-Chorus Crown feels heavy Target feels wide You learn real quick Who’s built to survive ⸻ Chorus Hunted Every week’s a war Hunted They want what’s yours No sneaking up No underdog story Now it’s us Defending glory Hunted Let ‘em bring the fight We don’t flinch Under stadium lights ⸻ Verse 2 Used to feed off doubt Now we feed off discipline You don’t stay on top By remembering what you’ve been You stay there by showing It wasn’t luck at all By answering every cheap shot With control of the ball Ashley says, “Don’t carry it heavy.” I say, “It’s not fear I feel.” It’s responsibility To prove it’s real To the freshmen watching To my son on the way To the standard we set When we chose to stay ⸻ Pre-Chorus Pressure ain’t new It just got louder When you wear the crown You walk prouder ⸻ Chorus Hunted Circle on our name Hunted Every single game They don’t want good They want our fall But kings don’t panic Kings stand tall Hunted And we don’t hide If you want the throne Step inside ⸻ Bridge (Music strips to drums + bass, intense) Every road game hostile Every headline loud Every handshake fake Every stadium crowd But you don’t defend a title With comfort or ease You defend it by reminding them Why you wear the keys ⸻ Final Chorus (Full Lift, Aggressive Guitar + Crowd Layer) Hunted And we welcome it Hunted Let ‘em test the grit This ain’t survival This dominance earned You don’t get respect You make ‘em learn Hunted All season long If you want it Come take it strong ⸻ Outro (Stadium roar blends into heartbeat drum.) Yeah… Come try.
