Protect My Name

[Chorus: McGwire]
Oh, it's not my heart, it's breaking, that's the bonds that we just made
Your walls they harden all in vain
All the promises forsaken and the legacy we stained
Will you still protect my name?

[Verse 1: Connor Quest!]
When features are frightening, they're likely to liken you to a beast
But me, I'm not shying from views that are bleak, I reach for the lightning like Zeus at you peak
Won't hibernate, no, no, I keep roaming, won't give stock to lies when they're livе
I won't be that wolf in sheeps clothing, can't pull the wool down over my еyes
I'm assaulted with their words if I now choose to stray and flee
But I'm following the herd, then they just run away from me
They all judge the way that I be, the way that I look, the way that I speak
That way that I'm standing out in these crowds so subsequently, I'm labelled a freak
Come walk in my paws, I'm sure that you'll agree, implore that you tour, the pavements and streets
Say there's no progress, it's a slow process, but a tortoise scored first place at his speed
I'll preach for change all day, but and I say with this remorse
If peace ain't in your nature we can let nature take it's course

[Verse 2: Shwabadi]
Why am I here?
Why do I gotta stay clear of my peers?
What do I fear?
Feel like this legacy's built upon tears
Built upon bones, smeared in blood
What does a deer look like to a wolf?
Are we just podder the meat on the hook?
Stay in your zone, stay in your hood
Stay in your lane, learn your place
Price of fame as a hurtful gaze
Frightening days when the murder rate
Reminds you you're one in a herd of prey
I will not be a statistic, though they numbered me at birth
I believe in co-existence, I believe in what I'm worth
I will fight it, tooth and nail, claws and fangs and horn and tail
I will fight to push the balance, we ain't even on the scale
I'm tired of being scared and I don't know just how this ends
But I know that there's some good out there, what I need right now's a friend

[Chorus: McGwire]
Oh, it's not my heart, it's breaking, that's the bonds that we just made
Your walls they harden all in vain
All the promises forsaken and the legacy we stained
Will you still protect my name?
Oh, it's not my heart, it's breaking, that's the bonds that we just made
Your walls they harden all in vain
All the promises forsaken and the legacy we stained
Will you still protect my name?
