GrizzlyJones…
Let’s get it…(get it)…(get it)
Raised by the Reckless…
[Sound Prompt: Dark cinematic country-trap intro, distant thunder, gritty acoustic guitar, haunting slide guitar, deep gravelly male vocal, heavy 808 bass, distorted electric guitars, stomping outlaw drums, sharp snare, sinister banjo plucks, explosive chant chorus, raw Southern drawl, aggressive ad-libs, modern radio-ready production.]
[Intro — Low, Raspy Whisper]
Yeah…
Blacktop bleeding underneath these tires.
Hell in my heart, got a soul full of fire.
Ain’t no halo hanging over my head…
I was raised by the reckless, baptized in red.
[Verse 1 — Gritty Country Rap]
Got a cracked-up phone and a half-full tank,
Middle finger up, got no one to thank.
Mud on my boots, got rage in my chest,
Life took shots, I just loaded the next.
Daddy said, “Boy, this world don’t care,”
Mama prayed while I disappeared.
Now I roll through the night with the bass turned mean,
Black smoke rising from a gasoline dream.
I’ve been broke as hell, been down on luck,
Had a few fake friends try to sell me out.
Now the whole damn town knows the sound of my name,
I ain’t chasing your crown, I’m igniting my flame.
[Pre-Chorus — Building Drums]
Oh, Lord, forgive me for the things I’ve done,
I’ve been dancing with the devil just to outrun the sun.
Got a wild-ass heart that refuses to bend,
If I fall tonight, I’ll come back again!
[Chorus — Explosive, Crowd Chant]
WE RAISED BY THE RECKLESS! (HEY!)
BORN WHERE THE WILD ONES RIDE!
MIDDLE FINGERS TO THE PRESSURE,
PUT THAT HELLFIRE IN OUR EYES!
WE RAISED BY THE RECKLESS! (HEY!)
BOOTS IN THE DIRT, NO FEAR!
If the whole damn world wants war,
TELL ’EM WE AIN’T DISAPPEARING!
[Sound Prompt: Massive distorted guitars, sub-bass drop, gang vocals shouting “RECKLESS!”, pounding kick drums, raspy lead vocal.]
[Verse 2 — Faster Flow]
Fuck your fake gold, fuck your fake-ass grin,
I’ve seen real wolves wearing sheep’s-skin.
Everybody talks till the lights go black,
Then you find out who’s got your back.
Got scars like maps from the roads I’ve crossed,
Paid my dues, every dollar cost.
No silver spoon, just a rusted-out blade
Of determination in the mess I made.
I don’t need your love, don’t need your respect,
Got a long damn memory, a short-ass fuse to check.
But I keep my word when the chips hit the floor,
I was built from the struggle — now I’m kicking down doors!
[Bridge — Half-Time, Haunted Vocal]
If I die with the moon hanging over my grave,
Tell ’em I was a sinner who refused to be a slave.
No crown, no throne, no golden parade,
Just a hell of a life and the choices I made.
[Final Chorus — Full Power]
WE RAISED BY THE RECKLESS! (HEY!)
LET THE WHOLE WORLD HEAR!
FROM THE DUST TO THE DYNASTY,
WE AIN’T BUILT TO LIVE IN FEAR!
WE RAISED BY THE RECKLESS! (HEY!)
LET THOSE GUITARS EXPLODE!
Country blood, outlaw soul,
AND A HEART MADE OUT OF STONE!
[Outro — Distorted Guitar Fades]
Yeah…
Raised by the reckless.
Still here.
Still breathing.
Still a motherfuckin’ problem.
