Lyric

My name is mine —

Not for sale

Not for your show

You know that too

Right?

Where I come from

Even the rivers know it

So —

You can’t drown me in your fear

I wear my spirit

Bold and clear

I come from kings who wore no crowns

Stories they never wrote down

They tried to rename what they couldn’t own —

But now, don’t act like it’s unknown

Mama told me, “They’ll sell you a mask

Don’t let them erase your face.”

Now I walk through fire and ash

But my truth still holds its place

Call me wild, call me wrong —

Still I dance, I dance all night long

You can’t redraw what I define —

My soul speaks loud, my name is mine

Call me wild, call me wrong —

Still I dance, and you play along

You can’t silence what’s alive —

Look closer, I survive

Because —

My name is mine

I carved my name on the city wall

Sang my truth down empire halls

You dress me up in trends and tags —

But I’m the lion, not the mask

No fake gold — I wear my skin

Brown like earth, strong like wind

Your system didn’t raise me right —

But still I shine, every night

Like Athens' light

(Who are you?) — I’m my father’s pride

(Where you from?) — My mother’s moonlit side

(What do you fear?) — To lose me, to lose you

(What do you gain?) — The wealth of love that’s true

Call me wild, call me wrong —

Still I dance, I dance all night long

You can’t redraw what I define —

My soul speaks loud, my name is mine

Call me wild, call me wrong —

Still I dance, and you play along

You don’t know what breathes in me —

My roots, my ancestry

You can’t silence what I live —

Look close — I am what I give

My name is mine

My name is mine

Not borrowed, not blurred

I move in rhythm —

Rooted, flowing, undisturbed
