Yo, check the static in your soul, the city's got you on a line

Just another numb sheep in a race that isn't mine

They feed you sin and propaganda, keep you busy, keep you weak

A polite little slave on a treadmill, too damn tired to speak

But I saw the cage for what it was, a lie I couldn't stand

So I grabbed my family's future with my own two fucking hands.

This is Independence, yeah, we broke the fucking chain

Left the concrete and the credit score for sun and for the rain

Built a house up on this mountain with our sweat and with our soul

Took our power back from the system and learned how to be whole

This is Independence, from the grid and from the lie

Watch my sons grow up real men under an open sky.

Now the rooster is my alarm clock, not some damn corporate bell

Got my hands deep in the soil, breaking out of this shell

Solar panels on the roof, water running from the spring

Learning skills they tried to kill, the real joy that life can bring

I teach my boys to build, to think, to fix it when it's broke

That's the only real inheritance, that's the only damn joke

On a system that wanted them weak, dependent, and all the same

Now they shout their own names in the world, not whispering in shame.

This is Independence, yeah, we broke the fucking chain

Left the concrete and the credit score for sun and for the rain

Built a house up on this mountain with our sweat and with our soul

Took our power back from the system and learned how to be whole

This is Independence, from the grid and from the lie

Watch my sons grow up real men under an open sky.

They call it off the grid, I call it back to life

No more wage slave bullshit for me and my wife

Just love and land and labor, a truth you can't deny

This ain't running from the world, it's choosing how to die.

Independence.

Yeah.

Real love, real life.

We're free.
