Lyrics
I bite my tongue to hold you down
I restrain myself from speaking to control or dominate you.
Re-write the rulebook on my own
I redefine the established norms or principles on my own terms.
Won’t let you get ahead again
I won't allow you to surpass or outdo me again.
Like a rat in trap, it’s a just dead end for you
