[Verse 1]
I step out when the dark still hangs
Gold on my skin, hear the whole block change
Sun god stare when I face that pain
Nika on my chest, I don't fold, I reign
They said I was dust, I said watch me rise
Now the sky get ripped when I open eyes
Lightning in the wrist, got the storm in line
Every fear that I had got left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Dawn at the edge of the hill
I move, and the night stand still
One breath, then the whole world bends
You know what I am when it starts again
[Chorus]
Sun god, Nika
Watch me light up, Nika
Lightning in my name
Dawn can't hold me, no
Sun god, Nika
Hear the ground shake, Nika
I'm the first new flame
Dawn can't hold me, no
[Verse 2]
Bare feet on the roof of a broken town
Every crack in the earth when I spin around
I make chains look thin, make hate look small
When I point to the sky, let the thunder call
I don't chase the crown, I was made for it
Heat in the blood and I stay in it
They want me subdued, but I laugh at that
I'm a bright-eyed force with the whole world snapped
[Pre-Chorus]
Dawn at the edge of the hill
I move, and the night stand still
One breath, then the whole world bends
You know what I am when it starts again
[Chorus]
Sun god, Nika
Watch me light up, Nika
Lightning in my name
Dawn can't hold me, no
Sun god, Nika
Hear the ground shake, Nika
I'm the first new flame
Dawn can't hold me, no
[Bridge]
I was born in the heat line
Cut through the cold like a blade of sun
If the sky want smoke, let it come down
I'm the one they fear when the dark is done
[Chorus]
Sun god, Nika
Watch me light up, Nika
Lightning in my name
Dawn can't hold me, no
Sun god, Nika
Hear the ground shake, Nika
I'm the first new flame
Dawn can't hold me, no
