[Verse 1]
I came up with the weight on me
No crowd, no hand, no guarantee
Still put my name on every doubt
Built my road when the lights went out
They said “wait,” I said “watch me move”
Empty room but I found my groove
Late nights, I kept my own word
Every scar got earned and served
I don’t fold when the room goes cold
I don’t beg for a hand to hold
If the door stays shut in my face
I make a wall into a race
[Pre-Chorus]
I been down, I been left on read
Still I stood on my own two legs
No cheers when I crossed that line
But I knew that the crown was mine
[Chorus]
King of victory
I rise, I rise
King of victory
I don’t need your eyes
King of victory
I win my way
King of victory
I’m made that way (that way)
[Verse 2]
Did it solo, no shortcut lane
Turned the pressure into fuel in my veins
While they slept, I kept that flame
Same old hunger, different name
I learned pride from a broken floor
Every loss made me want it more
Every no just fed my drive
Every fall kept my dream alive
Now I walk like I own that room
Not for show, I just came to bloom
If you doubt me, watch me stand
Built my empire with my own two hands
[Bridge]
Even when the calls went dead
Even when the whole world said
“You can’t,” I said “I will”
I’m still here, I’m still steel
[Chorus]
King of victory
I rise, I rise
King of victory
I don’t need your eyes
King of victory
I win my way
King of victory
I’m made that way (that way)
[Outro]
No support, still I made it through
No applause, still I came in true
I’m the one that I answer to
King of victory
That’s my truth (my truth)
