The Code I Ride By
TitanChord
I ride for truth, not for show,
Where the wind decides I go.
No man owns the path I tread,
I speak with dust, not what’s been said.
Every scar a truth I keep,
Every dawn I wake from deep.
This is the code I ride by,
No beggin’ knees, no alibi.
Steel in my soul, blood in my sky —
This is the code I ride by.
Never bowed, never pled,
Paid my dues in what I bled.
If the law don’t speak for me,
Then my gun’s my poetry.
Every debt gets carved in bone,
Every oath I keep my own.
This is the code I ride by,
Cross me once, you best not try.
The West don’t need to testify —
This is the code I ride by.
No crown, no cross, no man above,
Just the dirt, the steel, the things I love.
You can pray for peace or cry for grace —
I ride the truth that don’t erase.
Wind may fade and stars may die,
But my name won’t pass me by.
This is the code I ride by,
Carved in dust, won’t ever die.
If the sun don’t rise, I’ll still try —
This is the code I ride by.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
I ride for truth, not for show, Where the wind decides I go. No man owns the path I tread, I speak with dust, not what’s been said.
Every scar a truth I keep, Every dawn I wake from deep.
This is the code I ride by, No beggin’ knees, no alibi. Steel in my soul, blood in my sky — This is the code I ride by.
Never bowed, never pled, Paid my dues in what I bled. If the law don’t speak for me, Then my gun’s my poetry.
Every debt gets carved in bone, Every oath I keep my own.
This is the code I ride by, Cross me once, you best not try. The West don’t need to testify — This is the code I ride by.
No crown, no cross, no man above, Just the dirt, the steel, the things I love. You can pray for peace or cry for grace — I ride the truth that don’t erase.
Wind may fade and stars may die, But my name won’t pass me by.
This is the code I ride by, Carved in dust, won’t ever die. If the sun don’t rise, I’ll still try — This is the code I ride by.
