Song Description
She wasn't raised to sit still or stay quiet.
She was raised on grit, gasoline, and grit-your-teeth kind of love.
"Raised on Rebel Roads" is her anthem -- a fiery declaration from a woman who learned early how to stand tall, bite back, and blaze her own trail. It's not about seeking approval. It's about knowing your worth, cutting your own path, and walking away from anything that tries to tame you.
She's not soft-spoken.
She's self-made.
And she's got scars that shine brighter than dia

Lyrics
"Raised on Rebel Roads"
Written by Yves Stilmant © 2025
Verse 1A
Daddy ran with a rusted crew
Taught me truth and a black-eye bruise
Mama smoked with a shotgun stare
Said, "Don't let no one put you there"
Verse 1B
I grew up in a world of grit
Where the strong don't ask to quit
Scars and boots and battle cries
Built this fire behind my eyes
Pre-Chorus
I don't break, I bend then bite
Learned to love the burn and fight
Ain't no crown I need to wear
I make rules and I don't care
Chorus
Raised on rebel roads and smoke
Whiskey dreams and worn-out hopes
Didn't come to beg or plead
I was born to lead, not need
Raised on fire, dust, and pain
A little wild, a little vain
Don't need saving, don't need lies
I walk fast and cut my ties
Verse 2A
I don't flinch when the sky turns black
Learned to fight, and never look back
Drove through storms in borrowed cars
Chased my truth and earned my scars
Verse 2B
Had a lover who tried to tame
Told me pride was just a game
But I'm not built to break or bow
I was bad then -- and worse now
Pre-Chorus
I don't break, I bend then bite
Learned to love the burn and fight
Ain't no crown I need to wear
I make rules and I don't care
Chorus
Raised on rebel roads and smoke
Whiskey dreams and worn-out hopes
Didn't come to beg or plead
I was born to lead, not need
Raised on fire, dust, and pain
A little wild, a little vain
Don't need saving, don't need lies
I walk fast and cut my ties
Bridge
I don't fear what's down that line
If it kills me -- that's just fine
You can talk, I'll take the wheel
I was raised to never kneel
Final Chorus / Outro
Raised on rebel roads and fire
Built from scars and barbed-wire
Love me wrong or leave me be
This is strength, this here is me
Raised on rebel roads and smoke
Tell the world -- I never broke
