KINGDOM CERTIFIED: THE 1721 SCROLLS
HOOK (Soulful Street Chorus – sung, not drill chant):
The kingdom’s in my heart, can’t nobody take it,
Seventeen twenty-one, the code, we gon’ make it,
Young Descendants rise, our crown’s not forsaken,
Kingdom Certified — the truth can’t be shaken.

VERSE 1 (Storytelling Flow):
I came from porches where the streetlights hum,
Southside nights cold, but the heartbeat drum,
Elders whispered, “Child, your day gon’ come,”
Seventeen twenty-one, that verse, that sum.
I searched in temples, in books, in the sky,
Til the mirror told me straight: the kingdom’s inside.
A coded word hidden, where the prophets reside,
Now my steps on the block feel eternal, alive.

HOOK (Soulful Street Chorus):
The kingdom’s in my heart, can’t nobody take it,
Seventeen twenty-one, the code, we gon’ make it,
Young Descendants rise, our crown’s not forsaken,
Kingdom Certified — the truth can’t be shaken.

VERSE 2 (Message Flow – 90s Rap Cadence):
I’m talkin’ Marvin with the message, Gil Scott with the pen,
Pac with the passion, Rakim with the zen,
We the sons, we the daughters, line unbroken again,
Blood of kings in the veins, soul deeper than sin.
From the field to the factory, chains to the Chi,
From the blues to the gospel, our voice won’t die,
Seventeen twenty-one — the coded reply,
“Look within for the kingdom,” that’s the reason we fly.

HOOK (Soulful Street Chorus):
The kingdom’s in my heart, can’t nobody take it,
Seventeen twenty-one, the code, we gon’ make it,
Young Descendants rise, our crown’s not forsaken,
Kingdom Certified — the truth can’t be shaken.

VERSE 3 (Final Build – Poetic Flow):
This ain’t drill, this is scripture on wax,
This is Coltrane horns and the truth on tracks,
This is Nina Simone when the system attacks,
It’s redemption in the cipher, put the culture on backs.
Young Descendants in the booth, we write scrolls in rhyme,
Kingdom Certified, eternal, beyond time,
1721, the code, the design,
Not the trap, but the temple — in the heart, that’s the shrine.
---
OUTRO (Faded Vocal / Soul Sample):
“Kingdom’s within… kingdom’s within…
Seventeen twenty-one, let the reign begin…”
