Rolled out at dawn with a cooler and a plan
Laptop ledger and a thumb drive jammed
Got a pie in the bag hotspot runnin' real slow
Ain't no signal but the mempool knows
Sun on my dash freedom in my gut
Every town I pass they all feel stuck
But I found my map in the lines of code
A digital compass on a rebel road
I was born to run nodes chase the sunrise
Stackin' dreams under wide-open skies
No boss no brand no suit and tie
Just a sovereign soul with fire in my eyes
They can gate the world but they can't own the code
I was born to run nodes
Stopped at a diner in a one-light town
Some old man asked what I'm carryin' around
Told him It's hope in a box sir just don't blink
''Cause the new world's comin' faster than you think
He said Hon they'll try to shut you down
I smiled and said They ain't found me now
Truth don't die when the money's fake
It lives in blocks no one can break
I was born to run nodes cut the cord
Fuelin' my soul with a digital sword
From the backroads deep to the city lights
I'm syncin' up ledgers and fightin' good fights
They can own the banks but they can't own the code
I was born to run nodes
I don't need yo pension no permission slip
No government promise or Wall Street script
Just give me an open source node a sky full of stars
And I'll verify truth from this beat-up car
Raspberry pie riddin' shotgun proud
Signal's back and the blocks are found
Ain't no brakes when you taste that free
This node's alive and so are we
I ain't rich but I'm never owned
No rent on my mind no lease on my home
I drive with a purpose I mine with pride
And I ain't ever switchin' sides
I was born to run nodes and ride that flame
Deny the forks and play that game
Let 'em print and tax I'll just roll on through
With my truth my chain and a sovereign crew
While they chase control we chase code
Yeah I was born to run nodes
