Chasing the Money (النسخة 2)

Verse

Concrete cellars beneath the streetlight glow

Copper pipes are ringing every time we go

Two men in the ring, six thousand watching eyes

They bet their fortunes on the blood that rises high

Every cut they take just fuels my drive

I've been broke for years but I won't back down tonight

This ain't a sport — it's war beneath the neon light

The current champ don't know his own name now

Bought and sold three times, the house still owns him somehow

He grins at me like he holds the whole town tight

I crack my knuckles, tell him come what may tonight

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear that door creak open wide?

The whole city's watching us break apart tonight

Something old inside of me is ready to collide

It was buried under ash and every kind of pain

Now it's burning like the wires in this room again

Every dollar they threw at him just made me stronger still

Chorus

I'll never lose to a man who sells his will

Chasing the money's chasing something real

Break the champion, break the chains that hold us still

This is how I prove I'm worth the steel

Rise up through the smoke and let it all burn down

Verse

Blood on my knuckles, chrome on the wall

He comes at me like a freight train off the tracks at all

I don't flinch — every punch is an answer to his call

The crowd goes wild when they see us both fall down the hall

Somebody's gonna lose the purse tonight — guess who'll win it all?

Every scar I carry is a contract that won't break

He bites my ear and says 'you're just another debt

I laugh through the pain and tell him he ain't seen it yet

The house forgot what happens when a man believes in something true

This isn't just for the cash — this is breaking free of them both, you and me

One more hit to break the ring apart completely — then I'm gone forever from their debt to pay

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear that door creak open wide?

The whole city's watching us break apart tonight

Something old inside of me is ready to collide

It was buried under ash and every kind of pain

Now it's burning like the wires in this room again

Every dollar they threw at him just made me stronger still

Chorus

I'll never lose to a man who sells his will

Chasing the money's chasing something real

Break the champion, break the chains that hold us still

This is how I prove I'm worth the steel

Rise up through the smoke and let it all burn down

Bridge

Maybe this wasn't just about a purse tonight

I had to prove that some men won't be bought or tamed right away

Not every scar means you lost — that's what they'd say if I went home with my hands still raised high

Some scars are armor, some are the proof I'm alive

Outro

I won't back down tonight — not ever again

This is how a man breaks free of every chain
