Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Cold floor

Gold dreams on the mattress

I was eating from the same pot

Now we talking about a palace

Bare feet

On broken glass habits

Every step that I bled on

Turned red carpets in the banquet

They laughed

When I mapped out planets

Said, “You? You ain’t built for that canvas”

Now they scroll through the highlights frantic

Trying to study every move like a campus

Candle in a blackout, that was me

Writing in the margins I was never meant to read

Had to turn the doubt to a doctrine

Now the whole world quoting my problems as options (yeah)

[Chorus]

I built a throne in the ashes (throne in the ashes)

Turned every cut to a crown on my head (on my head)

They tried to bury my name under granite and matches

I came alive from the fire they fed

I got a war in my chest like a drumline

Heart still marching ahead

I built a throne in the ashes, the battle is pastime

Long as I breathe, I’m never dead

[Verse 2]

Look

Storm hit, I was out in the open

Face numb, but the heart still smoking

Hands up, I was fighting my shadow

Every fear that I had got broken

Tears on the contract, stains on the page

Had to sign with the sweat of my rage

Every “no” was a nail in the cage

’Til I snapped those bars and I walked off the stage (hey!)

Now it’s banners from the rafters

Name carved deep in the rafters

Same kid talking back to the pastor

Now I’m preaching to the pain of the masses

Mama praying in a language I don’t know

But I feel every syllable push my soul

If the sky fall, I’ma stand in the smoke

’Cause I was born from it, I don’t choke

[Chorus]

I built a throne in the ashes (throne in the ashes)

Turned every cut to a crown on my head (on my head)

They tried to bury my name under granite and matches

I came alive from the fire they fed

I got a war in my chest like a drumline

Heart still marching ahead

I built a throne in the ashes, the battle is pastime

Long as I breathe, I’m never dead

[Bridge]

Yeah

Line up the giants, I’ll face ’em all

I was never meant to be small

If I fall, I fall like a monument

Crack the earth when I crawl

Every scar is a banner I wave

Every loss is a digit I save

Add it up, I was built for the weight

If it’s fate, then I’m bending the fate

[Chorus]

I built a throne in the ashes (throne in the ashes)

Turned every cut to a crown on my head (on my head)

They tried to bury my name under granite and matches

I came alive from the fire they fed

I got a war in my chest like a drumline

Heart still marching ahead

I built a throne in the ashes, the battle is pastime

Long as I breathe, I’m never dead (never dead)
