[Intro]
Hey, face to face, but you're in my space
Threatening my bloodline, trying to put me in my place
You think you got the power, think you got the might
But I see through your shadow, I won't give up the fight
[Verse 1]
Sir, don't pretend you know my pain
Your words are empty, driving me insane
You say I can be replaced, like I’m just a game
But I stand tall, unshaken, I won’t feel shame
[Pre-Chorus]
Look in my eyes, see the fire inside
No, I won’t hide, I’ve got nothing to confide
Living on the edge, I won’t step aside
You try to break me, but I’ll survive
[Chorus]
I’m smarter than you, got the mind to break through
All your threats and lies, I see through
You puppet on strings, I see what you do
But I rise from ashes, like the Phoenix is true
[Bridge]
You want to beat me down, but I won’t drown
Your drugs and tricks won’t hold me down
I pay attention, I see the crown
Motherfucker, I wear it now
[Outro]
Throw your punches, come in again
You think you won, but I’ll begin
Smarter, stronger, I’ll always win
From the ashes, I’ll ascend again
