YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT
© 2025 R3Zondo

i gave you every piece of me
you built your throne on broken stone
you tried to chain me in the dark
but my fire lit a stronger heart
you don’t have the right…

you played the judge, you wrote the law
but i won’t kneel, i won’t crawl
you can’t rewrite what’s mine to live
this soul’s got more to give
you don’t have the right…

you don’t have the right to tear me apart
you don’t own the truth that beats in my heart
your hands can’t hold what was never yours to claim
i rise from the ashes, you’ll remember my name
you don’t have the right…

every scar you gave me, i survived
every tear burned but kept me alive
you thought love was yours to control
but real love don’t shatter a woman’s soul
you don’t have the right…

you drew the line, you set the game
but i won’t dance to your shame
the chains you forged won’t bind my song
i’ve been free all along
you don’t have the right…

you don’t have the right to tear me apart
you don’t own the truth that beats in my heart
your hands can’t hold what was never yours to claim
i rise from the ashes, you’ll remember my name
you don’t have the right…

i’m not your story, i’m not your sin
i’m the storm that you can’t win
i’ll burn the lies, i’ll light the night
my soul was never yours to write
you don’t have the right…

you don’t have the right to tear me apart
you don’t own the truth that beats in my heart
your hands can’t hold what was never yours to claim
i rise from the ashes, you’ll remember my name
you don’t have the right… you don’t have the right…

you don’t have the right…

(Summary)

This track is a personal reckoning, something I needed to write to reclaim power after being broken down. It’s not about revenge. It’s about remembering that healing comes when we stop asking for permission. The phrase “you don’t have the right” became a mantra of self respect, and this stripped, raw performance carries all the pain and resolve behind it.

You Don’t Have The Right

🎶 From Cassette Tapes to Creating My Own Sound 🎶

When I was a kid, music was more than background noise, it was my escape, my teacher, and my first real love. I’d sit with two cassette players, playing the Beatles on one and singing into the other, trying my best to match artists like Paul McCartney or Barbara Streisand’s range (sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much) 🤣. Homework could wait, lyrics in my wide rule notebooks couldn’t.

Life took me through winding roads, retail, hospitality, consulting, caregiving, but music never stopped calling. 45 years later, after many personal losses, and loosing one of my sons last year, I turned back to songwriting as therapy. Inspiration is all around me. Every song I create starts with raw lyrics, usually scribbled in one shot as I choreograph in my mind, then evolves into a fully produced track through hours of refining vocal coding,  instrumentation, and feel. I blend personal stories with AI driven music tools, letting technology and emotion work together to capture what I hear and see in my head and heart.

Now, I’m finally sharing it. Not perfect, not polished to death, just real. This is me, finally putting the music out there for you to hear.
Peace & Love ❤️
