Off the Grid

Intro

Yeah, they wanted a product, but I gave 'em a project.

They wanted a subject, but I am the object.

No permission requested. No apologies given.

Check it.

Verse 1

They try to put you in a box and paste a label on the side,

Draw a boundary in the dirt and tell you that's where you abide.

They want to categorize your mind and standardize your path,

Reducing every dream you hold to superficial math.

But regulations built by fear can never hold a flame,

To the fire in a soul that refuses the exact same game.

You are not a standard variable, you break right through the mold,

Refusing to be bought, packaged, traded, or be sold.

Let them whisper all their doubts and project their own design,

You are tracing out a blueprint that they never could define.

No one dictates the rhythm or the direction of your pace,

When you're running past the limits of a pre-determined race.

Chorus

(Tear off the labels), we're breaking the cage,

Flipping the script, yeah, we're burning the page.

You don't hold the pen, you don't dictate the flow,

Where the limitations end is exactly where I go.

No columns, no boxes, no standard design,

You run your own race, and I'm running mine.

Verse 2

They try to chart your future using columns and a grid,

Locking up your potential like a heavy iron lid.

But you step outside the boundaries, tearing down the walls,

Standing firm and unbothered when the heavy pressure calls.

It's a life without restrictions, built on what you choose to give,

Breaking free from every category just to truly live.

They love a template, they want you to fit,

They got a checklist for where you should sit.

"Act like a professional, stay in your lane,"

But a caged-in mentality only breeds pain.

They try to measure your metric, assess your design,

While you're out here erasing their borderline.

No validation required, no license to breathe,

Just a pocket of smoke and a trick up the sleeve.

Let 'em look at the data, let 'em stare at the screen,

They'll never grasp the variables in between.

Chorus

(Tear off the labels), we're breaking the cage,

Flipping the script, yeah, we're burning the page.

You don't hold the pen, you don't dictate the flow,

Where the limitations end is exactly where I go.

No columns, no boxes, no standard design,

You run your own race, and I'm running mine.

Bridge

They want a carbon copy, a ghost in the machine.

A predictable statistic on a corporate digital screen.

But you cant file file down a soul, you cant index a spark.

No compliance, no submission, no surrender to the norm.

We are not the quiet shelter, we are the storm.

Break the scale, tip the balance, let the definitions fall.

When you stand for nothing less than owning it all.

Chorus

(Tear off the labels), we're breaking the cage,

Flipping the script, yeah, we're burning the page.

You dont hold the pen, you don't dictate the flow.

Where the limitations end is exactly where I go.

No columns, no boxes,no standard design.

You run your own race, and I'm running mine.

Outro

Yeah. Keep your categories.

Keep your expectations.

We're living outside the lines now.

Unlisted. Unbounded.

(Fade out)
