[Title: Etched in Flame]
[Intro – Spoken]
I drink the tears of my enemies like wine,
Bathe in their blood—baptized in the line.
You thought I’d break? Nah, I stayed revered...
Now I am straight fire!
---
[Verse 1]
Scars on my skin, but deeper ones hide,
They branded my name, but I wear it with pride.
They left me for dead, I came back with a throne,
Built a kingdom from ash, now I sit here alone.
Whispers and daggers, I knew every plot,
Played the fool, but trust? I never forgot.
You fed me lies—I dined on rage,
Now every move’s a verse, and every verse, a cage.
---
[Hook]
I wear my battle scars like a badge,
Turned pain into power, made silence my flag.
You brought war—I brought the flame,
Now your name’s just smoke in the game.
Etched in flame, I rise, reborn,
Sharp like the blade I was raised to adorn.
Cross me once—better pray I forget,
'Cause revenge got patience... and I ain’t done yet.
---
[Verse 2]
Betrayed in the dark, but I see in the black,
You stabbed from the front—I still watched my back.
Every “bro” turned ghost, every “fam” turned foe,
Now I trust no soul, and my trust don't grow.
My sweat turned to stone, my tears into grit,
I turned every wound into armor that fits.
I’m not healed—I’m hardened, don’t get it twisted,
You crossed a line... and your name got listed.
---
[Bridge – Spoken]
They want peace after betrayal?
Tell 'em to rhyme that with “mercy”—
And it still won’t exist.
I don’t carry grudges… I mount them.
---
[Final Hook]
I wear my battle scars like a badge,
Royal with rage, made pain my swag.
You swung first—I built a sword,
Now I’m the silence that comes after war.
Etched in flame, don’t say my name—
Unless you ready to burn in the shame.
I don’t forget. I don’t forgive.
I remember... and I outlive.
---
[Outro – Optional Whisper]
Let the cowards sleep.
The real ones... stay forged.
