Intro (Aaron)
Late at night when the world goes silent,
I hear a voice I thought was gone.
A shadow from my past,
A version of me that refuses to move on.
AJ
Move on?
Why would I move on?
I was the one who survived.
I was the one who fought back.
I was the one who made sure nobody walked over us.
Aaron
And look where that where that got us
Broken relationships.
Anger.
Pain.
A son that is now suffering cause I didn’t listen
I’m trying to build something better now.
⸻
Verse 1 (AJ)
Better?
Man, you got soft,
Used to stand tall, now you just let people talk to you any kind of way
Used to make people respect your name, people didn’t dare try u
Hell let’s be real fake ass people knew when to stay away but
Now you’re talking peace every time you speak.
I remember the old days,
When nobody could tell us what to do.
I wanted the world at my feet,
And deep down you still want it too.
Aaron
Yea it was that same mentality that always got us in trouble
I got tired of all the pain I went to through to get to this point
Now dont get me wrong I will stand up for myself when it’s time .
All that being loud and mean didn’t get us nowhere but almost locked up
Now that I am older I am learning that true strength ain’t always loud it is shown
⸻
Chorus (Aaron & AJ)
AJ:
Where was all this peace shit when they talking and hurting you behind your back I want rob Take the throne, take the crown,
Rule the world and make all these lame people bow
Aaron:
So what let them talk let them do whatever I am not fazed I am just going to let the lord handle them
What is the point of running a kingdom when u can’t even be taught to be a king?
AJ:
Man please I don’t need to be taught on how to run my kingdom Power’s is my answer!
Aaron:
Love is the answer!
Both:
Two voices fighting in my mind,
One wants darkness, one seeks the light.
⸻
Verse 2 (AJ)
You think people changed?
They’re still the same.
Still judging.
Still talking.
Still waiting for you to fail.
So why not strike first?
Why not climb higher?
Why not remind everybody
Who we used to be?
Aaron
Because I’m tired of hurting and being alone .
Tired of waking up angry.
Tired of fighting battles God never asked me to fight.
I’m not weak because I’m calm.
I’m not weak because I forgive.
The hardest thing I’ve ever done
Is choosing peace when I could choose war.
⸻
Bridge (Conversation)
AJ
Peace won’t make you king.
Aaron
Maybe I wasn’t meant to be king.
AJ
Then what are you meant to be?
Aaron
A servant.
A leader.
A preacher.
A man after God’s heart.
AJ
And what happens to me?
Aaron
You don’t have to die.
You just have to change.
AJ
Change what?
Aaron
The passion can stay.
The courage can stay.
The confidence can stay.
But the pride…
The anger…
The hate…
Those have to go.
⸻
Final Chorus
AJ
Aye listen people are the reason why I am the way I am today I am not a punk I am real person that will fuck u up if you dare try me don’t get it twisted I am not backing down from no
