Lyrics

Intro

Born to burn, never bend

Verse

Born in wreckage, walked alone

Maps burned early, nowhere home

Cold eyes, sharp mind, measure breath

Read a life before it’s said to death

Broken bloodline, climbed out clean

Pain to profit, scarred and keen

No fools, no crowns, no dumbed-down sound

I see through kings and clowns they crown

Chorus

I don’t kneel, I don’t pray, I don’t slow my roll

Wildfire heart, dead-cold soul

No chains, no home, white-line run

I live by my word, not law or gun

Want me tame? You’re late, my friend

I was born to burn, not break or bend

hook

Born to burn, never bend

No chains, no end

Wildfire heart, dead-cold soul

I don’t kneel, I don’t slow

Verse

I leave you here with safe warm lies

You want peace, I want teeth in fights

Need a woman with fire inside

Not scared of dark, won’t beg or hide

I chase venom, depth, and edge

Whisky breath, salt on flesh

No signs, no questions, time won’t wait

Slow me down? You seal your fate

Chorus

I don’t kneel, I don’t pray, I don’t slow my roll

Wildfire heart, dead-cold soul

No chains, no home, white-line run

I live by my word, not law or gun

Want me tame? You’re late, my friend

I was born to burn, not break or bend

Verse

Saltwater scars on my knuckles bleed

From hooks, from teeth, from the broken past.

I love things mean that can poison me

Guess I always liked a risk that lasts

Engines scream when I hit that bend

Laughin’ loud while the tires cry

If I crash tonight, I’ll shake hands with death

Tell him, “Son, you can’t take my mind”

Verse

Devil’s betting on my soul

Needle buried, lose control

No laws but motion, no god but speed

Adrenaline’s the air I breathe

Remote land, firelight, reptile stare

Sin-filled eyes cut desert air

No cages, no fear, no when or then

I was gone before they said when

Chorus

I don’t kneel, I don’t pray, I don’t slow my roll

Wildfire heart, dead-cold soul

No chains, no home, white-line run

I live by my word, not law or gun

Want me tame? You’re late, my friend

I was born to burn, not break or bend

Verse

I’ve got success stitched into my skin,

Paid full price for the brain I’m in

Too sharp for fools, too fast to tame,

I see ten moves ahead of the game

So I’ll face the world with my teeth bared wide,

No fear of loss, no need to hide

I don’t need love that begs me to stay,

I need fire—or I’m gone by day

Outro

Born to burn, never bend

No chains, no end
