Lyrics
Verse 1
You strut like a king, but the room turns cold
Dripping venom every word you sold
Playing the tough guy, thinking you slick
But baby, your charm's just old cheap tricks
Pre-Chorus
My girls in the back, got my back strong
Eye to eye, we know where we belong
Snap your fingers, but we won't run
You swagger, but you're coming undone
Guitar Solo
Chorus
You talk your game but you rotten inside
Can't fool these eyes, baby, I see your lies
Sweetest poison, sharp as your grin
You break it all just to watch me give in
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh no, I won't go, no no
Oh, oh no, I won't go, oh no
Verse 2
You make your dirty promises, shadows in your smile
Tried to own my soul, but I ain't your child
Cheap and cruel, you drag me in the mud
But your grip ain't strong, I'm shaking it off for good
Pre-Chorus
Don't need your rage at my door crashing
Had your fill, I don't need the distraction
Every word you spit is laced in control
But you ain't got power over my soul
Chorus
You talk your game but you rotten inside
Can't fool these eyes, baby, I see your lies
Sweetest poison, sharp as your grin
You break it all just to watch me give in
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh no, I won't go, no no
Oh, oh no, I won't go, oh no
Bridge
Grit on my lips, I spit out your name
Sisters right beside me, we ain’t playing your game
Did you think I’d beg, did you hope I’d plead
But I rip your hold out, root and seed
Chorus
You talk your game but you rotten inside
Can’t fool these eyes, baby, I see your lies
Sweetest poison, sharp as your grin
You break it all just to watch me give in
Post-Chorus
Oh, oh no, I won’t go, no no
Oh, oh no, I won’t go, oh no
Outro
Now I walk away, head high, you lose
Smeared all your guilt on the soles of my shoes
Take your empty heart, rot somewhere alone
I got my girls, my fight, my home
Tag
Done with your poison tongue, I snap it in half
Left your shadow choking on my aftermath
You crave the chase, but I’m miles gone
While your pride drowns in the mess you spawned
Breakdown
I won’t kneel, I won’t break, so grind your teeth
Truth tastes bitter, yeah, choke on what’s underneath
Sisterhood tight, we hold the line
You lost your power, baby, I took back mine
Final Post-Chorus
No, I won’t go, won’t go, won’t go
Oh, no, I won’t go, won’t go, oh no
Coda
Your charm’s just dust kicked up in my rearview
Every word you bark don’t stick to me, no residue
You threw your weight but you stumble now
Laughing with my sisters, we wear the crown
Gang Vocal Hook
Never bow, never bend, never yours again
Never bow, never bend, never yours again
Fadeout
Calling out your game, the crowd’s awake
We take the night, you watch us break
Nothing left for you to claim
We turn the page, erase your name
