Bonus Episode | Bitch Got Out Of Line | Full Song by Midlife Madness

You thought a fist could make me stay, That fear could shape what I would say. But I took the hit and kept my spine, Now watch me rise, bitch got outta line. You slammed the door, thought you were king, But only cowards do that kind of thing. Your strength was fake, all bark, no bite— I packed my rage and lit the night. **Chorus** I got louder when you tried to hush, Stood taller in the silent crush. You broke the mirror, but not my mind— You lost control when I declined. You called me crazy, called me wild, But I’m not your pet, not your child. I walked away and that was fine— Bitch got free, bitch got outta line. You threw words like knives to skin, But my fire burned too bright to dim. You called it love, I saw the trap, Danced through the ashes, never looked back. **Chorus** I got louder when you tried to hush, Stood taller in the silent crush. You broke the mirror, but not my mind— You lost control when I declined. You called me crazy, called me wild, But I’m not your pet, not your child. I walked away and that was fine— Bitch got free, bitch got outta line. **Bridge** So here’s to every scream you feared, To every bruise that disappeared. I wear my scars like medals now— You lost me when you showed me how. **Final Chorus** I got louder when you tried to hush, Stood taller in the silent crush. You broke the mirror, but not my mind— You lost control when I declined. You thought you'd win by breaking me— But I was never yours to keep. I walked through fire and crossed that line— Bitch got brave, bitch got outta line. **Outro** So next time you raise that hand in pride, Just know who ran and who survived. I’m not the one who lost their spine— You’re the bitch who got outta line. Yeah you're the bitch, who got outta line (few chords of outro music)
