[Verse]
Crown tilted, they posture brittle,
Eyes downcast, ego belittles,
Preachin’ sermons from a self-built steeple,
But can’t see the cracks in their own cathedral.
Chasin’ shadows, they climb so steep,
Yet stomp on souls they claim too weak.
[Prechorus]
If you up top, why you diggin’ dirt?
If you that high, why your soul still hurt?
[Chorus]
Pedestals crumble, who gon’ catch you?
When you fall, who gon’ bless you?
Looking down, you miss the skies,
Beneath your feet, the truth resides.
[Verse 2]
Gold-plated, but the shine ain't pure,
Stacked up riches, but the heart unsure.
Mirror talk, but it’s lies they stammer,
Buildin' castles outta smoke and glamour.
Why waste time throwin' stones at ants,
When the giants’ steps got no real stance?
[Bridge]
Echoes loud in an empty hall,
Big shadows cast, but they standing small.
Every throne got a timer tickin’,
Can’t outrun the truth, it’s steady stickin’.
[Chorus]
Pedestals crumble, who gon’ catch you?
When you fall, who gon’ bless you?
Looking down, you miss the skies,
Beneath your feet, the truth resides.
