Give me the rules

[Producer Tag] DeathMaster Productions. [Intro — whispered, restrained] Call me difficult... Call me reckless... Call me whatever you want... Just tell me the rules. Then let me play. [Verse 1] Tell me where the line is, I'll never cross it. Tell me what the game is, I'll know how to play it. Give me the limits, Give me the goal. Give me the boundaries, Then leave me alone. Don't tell me how to get there, Don't tell me what to choose. If I stay inside the rules, I've got nothing left to prove. [Pre-Chorus — building] You give me a cage, I look for the door. You give me a map, I find something more. You tell me the rules, I won't break a single one... But don't you dare tell me Which road I have to run. [Chorus — explosive] Give me the rules, I'll choose my way. Tell me the line, I'll know where to stay. Give me the target, Give me the fight. I'll find my own way To make it right. Don't tell me how, Don't tell me where. If I'm inside the lines, Then leave me there. Give me the rules, I'll follow them through... But let me choose what I do with them. [Verse 2] I've heard the names, I've heard the warnings. "Too stubborn." "Too difficult." "Always fighting." Maybe I wasn't fighting What you thought I was. Maybe I was fighting To keep what was mine. My hands on the wheel, My feet on the ground. I don't need permission To figure it out. You can tell me what the world expects. Just don't confuse guidance with pulling on my neck. [Pre-Chorus — stronger] You give me a boundary, I'll respect the line. You give me responsibility, I'll make it mine. But when you start deciding every step I take... That's when the thing you call rebellion wakes. [Chorus — bigger] Give me the rules, I'll choose my way. Tell me the line, I'll know where to stay. Give me the target, Give me the fight. I'll find my own way to make it right. Don't tell me how, Don't tell me where. If I'm inside the lines, then leave me there. Give me the rules, I'll follow them through... But let me choose what I do with them. [Bridge — stripped, whispered] I don't need chaos. I need clarity. I don't need freedom from every boundary. I need freedom inside them. That's the difference you never understood. [Beat Drop] You wanted obedience. I wanted autonomy. You called it rebellion. I called it... trust. [Final Chorus — massive] Give me the rules, I'll choose my way. Give me the fire, I'll find where to aim. Give me the target, I'll make my own plan. You don't have to lead me— You just have to let me. Don't tell me how, Don't tell me where. If I'm inside the lines, then leave me there. Give me the rules, I'll follow them through... But don't choose my road. I'll choose it myself. [Outro — whispered] Give me the rules... I'll respect them. Give me the frame... I'll make it mine. Just... let me choose my way.
