(Record scratch) Yo, check the mic, one two
(Verse 1)
Ten years gone, thought I was lost at sea
Fightin' monsters, curses, destiny
But home's where the heart is, right? I yearned to see
Penelope, Telemachus, rebuild family
But what I found was a palace overrun
With jackals claimin' they already won
Suitors swaggerin', disrespectin' my throne
Drinkin' my wine, treatin' my home like their own!
(Chorus)
These ain't rivals, these are washed-up has-beens
Classmates from back then, turned into ugly scenes
Thought they could push me, thought I was buried deep
Now Poseidon's wrath is about to reap what they sow and weep!
(Verse 2)
They plotted and schemed, thought I was permanently gone
Tryna force my queen to pick one, all day long
Assault my castle, disrespect my son's name
Ignorance bliss, fueled by selfish flame
But Ithaca's got a king back in control
Disguised as a beggar, playin' my hidden role
Had to assess the threat, see who was truly true
Now the arrow's drawn back, pointin' straight at you!
(Chorus)
These ain't rivals, these are washed-up has-beens
Classmates from back then, turned into ugly scenes
Thought they could push me, thought I was buried deep
Now Poseidon's wrath is about to reap what they sow and weep!
(Bridge)
Old King Laertes, witness to the whole disgrace
He saw their hearts, the malice on each face
Said their souls are rotten, beyond redemption's reach
Time for justice to be served, beyond any speech.
(Verse 3)
So the bow is drawn, the arrow flies so swift
No apologies offered, no second chances to gift
Each one falls silent, arrogance replaced with fear
Their entitlement ends now, the reckoning is here!
My family's protected, my kingdom restored
The Odyssey's over, the battle's been poured
Out on the floor, crimson red and bright
Ithaca's at peace, doin' what's just and right.
(Outro)
Yeah, Odysseus back in the game
Remember my name, ain't nothin' the same
Tried to take what's mine, now look at you
Forever known as the fool, through and through! Word.
