Verse 1 Played the big room, signed the big name Learned real quick how fast it all became Not about the music, not about the sound Just about the brand they wanted to wrap around
So I walked. No speech, no statement, no goodbye Just one who had a reason they called pride And the silence that came after was the loudest thing Louder than the stadiums, louder than everything
Pre-Chorus Nobody called. Nobody asked why. The principle I died on — nobody even tried to find.
Chorus Was it worth it? Three in the morning, empty glass All these dive bars starting to look the same Was I right, or just too stubborn to go back? Did I burn it all down for nothing but a name? I keep telling myself it had to be this way But righteous gets real quiet when the rent’s due anyway
Verse
No contracts left, no strings to pull
No polished lies, no staged control
Just broken chords and honest sound
No spotlight left, but I’m still found
They swore I’d fall the second I’d leave
But I found power they couldn’t see
Now every word cuts clean and free
No chains, no brand — just finally me
Pre-Chorus Nobody called. Nobody asked why. The principle I died on — nobody even tried to find.
Chorus Was it worth it? Three in the morning, empty glass All these dive bars starting to look the same Was I right, or just too stubborn to go back? Did I burn it all down for nothing but a name? I keep telling myself it had to be this way But righteous gets real quiet when the rent’s due anyway
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge][Stripped down][Build up] Walked in the bar, deserted, empty, nothing new But then I heard a voice so honest and true Familiar passion like when I started back in the day When the music was everything and nothing got in it’s way
Heard the crack in her voice, breaking, losing hope
Falling apart like I was, but I know she has heart
They said I’d fade without their name
But now - I found truth outside the game
Pre-Chorus
Nobody called, but I found my why
The hill I stood on — Won’t be alone this time
Someone’s here and understands this fight
The Truth I chose, we’re proving it right —
Chorus
Yeah, it was worth it
Three in the morning, I leave the past
All those old bars don’t haunt me the same
I wasn’t wrong, just had to choose my path
Yeah, I burned it down, and I kept the flame
This is the beggining, my starting line
No need for chains, no need for disguise
I paid my price, the price of right
Now I see the world anew with open eyes
The Price of right - I’ll pay it anytime
