You Game Me A Choice Altovskiy

You call it discipline
I call it fear with better branding
You want me useful, quiet, easy to replace
Smile for the room, keep the damage off my face
Every promise came with another condition
Every answer had to fit your definition

I learned the pattern

Push
Praise
Punish
Repeat

You kept moving the line
Then blamed me for missing it

I kept it down for too long
Now the pressure has a voice

You wanted obedience

YOU GAVE ME A CHOICE

I won’t carry your dead weight

CUT IT LOOSE!

I won’t live by your mistakes

NOT FOR YOU!

You can tighten every wire
You can lock every door

LOCK IT DOWN!
LOCK IT DOWN!

I’m not asking for permission anymore

No permission
No control

You sell control like it keeps people safe
But fear is still fear when you give it a name

I know what you do when the cameras are gone
Change the story, pick a target, move along

Not this time

I kept every mark
Every date
Every lie

You don’t get to rewrite
What I survived

I kept it down for too long
Now the pressure has a voice

You wanted obedience

YOU GAVE ME A CHOICE

PUSH ME DOWN

I COME BACK HEAVIER

TAKE MY VOICE

I COME BACK LOUDER

NO MORE!
NO MORE!
NO MORE!

I won’t carry your dead weight

CUT IT LOOSE!

I won’t live by your mistakes

NOT FOR YOU!

You can tighten every wire
You can lock every door

I’m not asking for permission
I’m not asking anymore

You wanted control

You lost it
