[Intro]
Yeah
King Thorn back
(ha)
Look
[Verse 1]
Came from the cut, no crown on me
Now the whole town talk how they proud of me
Still got scars that the cameras miss
But the pain turned cold, now it all make sense
Big step, big check, big pressure
Used to pray for a seat, now I bless ya
Table mine, every chair say “reserved”
They ain’t help build it, now they wait their turn
[Chorus]
King Thorn back, better watch how you act (yeah)
Whole club jump when they hear that track (hey!)
I was in the dirt, now I bloom through the cracks
Say my name once, bring the whole squad packed
King Thorn back, put the crown on that (on that)
Talk real big but they fold, that’s cap
Hands in the air when the bass come slap
King Thorn back, King Thorn back
[Verse 2]
Bottle in the air, see the ice drip slow
Hometown hero in a brand new glow
Used to get curved, now they all want close
Only hit my line when the flyer need a post
I remember late nights, ramen on the stove
Phone on “maybe”, future on hold
Now I’m on stage, crowd singin’ every word
Mama in the front, eyes wet, that’s deserved
[Chorus]
King Thorn back, better watch how you act (woo)
Whole club jump when they hear that track (hey!)
I was in the dirt, now I bloom through the cracks
Say my name once, bring the whole squad packed
King Thorn back, put the crown on that
Talk real big but they fold, that’s cap
Hands in the air when the bass come slap
King Thorn back, King Thorn back
[Bridge]
[Beat drops, vocal half-whispered]
Back from the edge, yeah I danced with the ledge
Now I’m cashing the checks they said I’d never get
Turn pain to a flex, turn stress to a step
Every “nah” that they said, now it payin’ my rent
[Chorus]
King Thorn back, better watch how you act
Whole club jump when they hear that track
I was in the dirt, now I bloom through the cracks
Say my name once, bring the whole squad packed
King Thorn back, put the crown on that
Talk real big but they fold, that’s cap
Hands in the air when the bass come slap
King Thorn back, King Thorn back
