[Intro]
Cold air
Dry mouth
Heart loud
Crowd out
[Verse 1]
Came from a room with the paint peeled off
Now the doors swing wide when I breathe, that’s law
Whole block talk like they wrote my plot
But they never saw the nights I was praying I’d stop
Teeth on edge from the pressure I chew
Turn that fear into fuel when I step in the view
Got a chip on my name, that’s a medal to me
Every scar on my face is a level to beat (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Who gon’ tell me “wait” now?
Who gon’ dim this flame down?
Every “no” that they gave
Turned stone in my veins
Feel it weigh, feel it weigh now
[Chorus]
This a throne made of pressure, I don’t fold (I don’t fold)
Turn the weight to a weapon, watch it blow (watch it blow)
If you ridin’, better say that
If you doubted, better stay back
We the ones, we the ones, let ‘em know
(We the ones, we the ones) let ‘em know
(We the ones, we the ones) let ‘em know
Gang talk, one voice, that’s the code
[Verse 2]
Thought I’d drown in the silence and small talk
Now my name in they mouth like a hard cough
Switch pace, let it drag, then I run, then I cut
Play chess with the time, every loss, add it up
I was bent, I was broke, I was half of a man
Now I’m twice what they said I could ever withstand
Every “you ain’t built for it” fed me again
Now I feast on the doubt, that’s my daily demand (woo)
[Pre-Chorus]
Who gon’ tell me “wait” now?
Who gon’ mute this rage down?
Every bruise that they gave
Turned steel in my frame
Feel it shake, feel it shake now
[Chorus]
This a throne made of pressure, I don’t fold (I don’t fold)
Turn the weight to a weapon, watch it blow (watch it blow)
If you ridin’, better say that
If you doubted, better stay back
We the ones, we the ones, let ‘em know
(We the ones, we the ones) let ‘em know
(We the ones, we the ones) let ‘em know
Gang talk, one voice, that’s the code
