[Verse 1]
No handouts
Just hard nights
Cold floor, blue flame
Fighting off the hunger bites
Came from nothing
Now they watch
Same ones laughing
Now they plot
Loyalty rare
Got a short list
One chair at the table
You ain’t on this (nah)
Trust few, move silent
Eyes open in the quiet
Pain taught more than any class
Scars stuck, I rely on that
[Chorus]
Shadow crown on my head, I earned that
Crawled through the dark, never turned back (never)
Neon savage in the cut, I burn tracks
Came from the dirt, now they learn that
Shadow crown on my head, I earned that
Cold world turned my heart to steel black
Every loss was a brick in my path
Came from the bottom, now they hate that
[Verse 2]
Talk big, but they hollow
Gold teeth, cheap soul, they borrow
I was in the rain with a torn coat
Now it’s heavy metal on the torso (yeah)
Royal in the mind, not the label
Built this with my hands, no fable
Pepsi in the cup, just basic
Still toast to the fact we made it
Snake skin smiles, I spot those
Handshake stiff, keep eyes closed
They want the throne, but not the weight
They want the feast, skip the empty plate
[Chorus]
Shadow crown on my head, I earned that
Crawled through the dark, never turned back (never)
Neon savage in the cut, I burn tracks
Came from the dirt, now they learn that
Shadow crown on my head, I earned that
Cold world turned my heart to steel black
Every loss was a brick in my path
Came from the bottom, now they hate that
