breaking the walls & breaking the chains

BREAKING THE WALLS Kalico Goatz — LostSoulz Inc. 94 BPM | West Coast / Emotional Rap [INTRO — 4 BARS] Yeah… I had to lose myself just to find my way… Lost soul, but I ain't staying lost. Kalico… let's go. [VERSE 1 — 16 BARS] Breaking down the walls, breaking all the chains, Take full responsibility, I own all my mistakes. I don't play head games, I say what I mean, Mean what I say, now I'm standing on my feet. I been through the fire, I been through the rain, Carried all the weight, still I walked through the pain. Had nights I was lost, had days I was numb, But I refused to believe that my story was done. I don't give a fuck if you run through the streets, Like a lost soul searching for somewhere to breathe. Just don't lose control, don't surrender your voice, Don't let somebody else take away your choice. I learned every smile don't mean somebody's real, Every hand that you shake don't mean they wanna heal. So protect your heart, but don't bury your soul, You can walk through the darkness without losing control. [PRE-HOOK — 8 BARS] I know what it feels like when nobody hears you, Screaming in silence while the pain comes near you. But you're still here, so there's something to prove, One step forward—that's a reason to move. Don't let the past put a lock on your future, Don't let somebody else's damage abuse you. You got a voice, let it rise through the rain— Break that wall down and break every chain. [HOOK — 8 BARS] Break the walls, break the chains, Walk through the fire, rise above the flames. Take your power back, don't give it away, You survived the night—now step into the day. No more running, no more hiding, No more letting broken people decide it. If you lost your voice, let it thunder again— You ain't a lost soul… you're finding your way back in. [VERSE 2 — 16 BARS] And don't trust every boy tryna get you alone, Some just want your body, then they leave you cold. Tell you everything you wanna hear for the night, Then disappear when the morning brings light. Don't confuse lust with somebody who cares, Don't confuse empty promises with somebody who's there. If he only wants your body, that's not love, that's a need, Real love protects your heart and respects what you need. And I know those tears, I've cried some myself, Tried drowning my pain, nearly damaged my health. Thought I needed somebody just to make me feel whole, Till I realized the missing piece was inside my soul. Now I'm taking responsibility, standing ten toes, Every scar on my body tells a story I know. I ain't perfect, I'm healing, but I'm finally awake, And I'm turning every loss into something I create. [HOOK — 8 BARS] Break the walls, break the chains, Walk through the fire, rise above the flames. Take your power back, don't give it away, You survived the night—now step into the day. No more running, no more hiding, No more letting broken people decide it. If you lost your voice, let it thunder again— You ain't a lost soul… you're finding your way back in. [BRIDGE — HALF-SUNG — 8 BARS] I was lost… but I found me, I was down… but I'm standing. Had my back against the wall, Now I'm breaking through it all. If you hear me, don't give up, If you're hurting, hold on. There's a light beyond the darkness, And your story ain't gone. [VERSE 3 — 16 BARS — HARDER DELIVERY] Now I'm back with a purpose, got the weight off my chest, Every step that I take gotta lead to my best. No excuses, no blame, I'm accountable now, Used to walk with my head down, look at me now. I turned pain into pressure, pressure into power, Built myself back up brick by brick, hour by hour. They can talk, they can judge, they can question my name, But they weren't in that darkness when I battled that pain. So I don't need revenge, I don't need retaliation, I need elevation, restoration, transformation. If the old me died, let him rest where he lay, 'Cause the man standing here ain't the man from yesterday. Breaking walls with my truth, breaking chains with my voice, I ain't asking for permission, I am making my choice. Lost souls all around me, but I'm showing the way— You don't have to stay broken just because you lost your way. [FINAL HOOK — BIG / DOUBLE VOCALS] BREAK THE WALLS, BREAK THE CHAINS! WALK THROUGH THE FIRE, RISE ABOVE THE FLAMES! TAKE YOUR POWER BACK, DON'T GIVE IT AWAY! YOU SURVIVED THE NIGHT—NOW STEP INTO THE DAY! NO MORE RUNNING, NO MORE HIDING! NO MORE LETTING BROKEN PEOPLE DECIDE IT! IF YOU LOST YOUR VOICE, LET IT THUNDER AGAIN— YOU AIN'T A LOST SOUL… YOU'RE FINDING YOUR WAY BACK IN! [OUTRO — SPOKEN] I take responsibility. I own my choices. I own my mistakes. But I also own my future. You can lose yourself… without losing your way forever. LostSoulz Inc. Kalico Goatz.
