Big Dog In My Veins

Intro

Uh

Yeah

Been sleepin on myself too long

Verse 1

Took me years to see the mirror wasn't lyin

Every scar a lesson that I finally keep revisin

They told me play it safe and keep your head down low

But I burned that playbook now I reap what I sow

Hard times bend me but they never break the spine

World gone soft afraid to feel and it shows in every line

They flinch at thunder I just stand out in the rain

Yeah the pain's a teacher and I memorized the strain

Pre-Chorus

Do I gotta flex to prove it

Do I gotta shout to move it

Thought you knew by now that I'm the one

Chorus

Big dog in my veins yeah it runs through my blood

Feel my bite right down to the bone when I flood

Hear my bark echo out through your hollow soul

I'm the motherfuckin one now watch me take control

Post-Chorus

Big dog big dog

Hear me howlin

Big dog big dog

Down to your bone

Verse 2

Every doubt they planted dug a deeper hole

But I climbed out the grave with a shovel made of soul

Weak was never in the DNA I carry round

I turned my knuckles into hammers hit the ground

They scared of pain like it's a sickness they can catch

I wear my bruises like a crown that never detracts

Call me cynical I earned it blade by blade

Built a fortress from the wreckage that they made

Pre-Chorus

Do I gotta flex to prove it

Do I gotta shout to move it

Ain't I proven what I am by now

Chorus

Big dog in my veins yeah it runs through my blood

Feel my bite right down to the bone when I flood

Hear my bark echo out through your hollow soul

I'm the motherfuckin one now watch me take control

Bridge

They went soft I went sharper

They ran from fire I'm the arson

Went from broken to the barter

Now my name rings out like a martyr

Chorus

Big dog in my veins yeah it runs through my blood

Feel my bite right down to the bone when I flood

Hear my bark echo out through your hollow soul

I'm the motherfuckin one now watch me take control

Outro

Watch me take control

Yeah

Big dog

Down to your bone
