VERSE 1
We the People—inked in flame
Not pawns for power, not votes for shame
You sit in halls, you preach and spend
But out here, we bend… and break again

You smile on screens, sign bills in gold
While Main Street's heat turns hearts cold
We built this house, we paid the price
You sold it off, then called it “nice”

PRE-CHORUS
Don’t tell me freedom’s just a phase
While censoring the words we raise
The noise you make won’t drown this plea—
We’re done with masks of liberty

CHORUS
Don’t tread on me—I’m not your pawn
My voice won’t die when yours is gone
I bleed the red you legislate
But I still stand, and I won’t break

Don’t tread on me—I won’t be still
My rights ain’t subject to your will
This ground was paid with rebel breath
So I’ll speak loud… until my death

VERSE 2
We didn’t vote to fade away
Or trade the truth for click-bait praise
We rise at dawn, we work, we give
But you forgot what it means to live

Behind your walls, you call it peace
But real folks scream for rent release
You sign our fates with silver pens
While homes go cold and hearts cave in

PRE-CHORUS
You quote the law with crafted grace
But wipe your shoes on our disgrace
You don’t defend—you just decree
But *we the people*? We still believe.

CHORUS (repeat)
Don’t tread on me—I ain’t your game
Don’t brand my soul or buy my name
I fight for those too tired to shout
You silence us—but we won’t bow

BRIDGE (Spoken—like a firebrand oath)
We were the spark
Not the party
We were the prayer
Not the lobby
We are the hearts you failed to hear
But we’re still here
We’re still...
Clear.

FINAL CHORUS (erupts, crowd vocals)
Don’t tread on me—I am the storm
I am the voice you tried to scorn
I’ll rise again through every lie—
I’ll die on truth before I comply

I’ll die on truth before I comply—
before I comply—
