Lyrics

You flex gold chains Hide your pain in the shine Call it "dominance" I call it a shrine Built on sand Fragile as your pride You weaponize fear Then call it "masculine drive" You scream "strength" But it’s weakness in disguise A fortress of glass Where your loneliness hides Suits, ties, watches, pistols in a row But I see through the mask It’s a child in control Your virility’s a prison Locked from inside You trade tenderness for violence And call it "a right" Yes, you got power But it rots in your hand Just anger recycled Fear dressed as a man You preach “alpha” But you bow to the past A broken inheritance You wear like a cast Every punchline’s hollow Every threat’s just noise Little boy lost Breaking toys to feel poise Your muscles don’t cover The cracks in your core Your “manhood” is trembling Behind a closed door True courage ain’t rage It’s the strength to disarm But you weaponize shame Like it’s part of your charm Virility sold like a brand, like a chain Masculinism’s poison dripping straight in your veins You call it tradition? I call it a cage You fear liberation, so you answer with rage Your virility’s a prison Locked from inside You trade tenderness for violence And call it "a right" Yes, you got power But it rots in your hand Just anger recycled Fear dressed as a man
