[Verse 1]
I came up through the vines,
to the palace gate
Venom in the grin,
but I move with weight
Boy from the block,
still I tend that flame
Ferry-Morse in my palm,
I can grow my name
Concrete in my sole,
mud on my cuff
Ratchet in my mouth,
I been cut from rough
You talk big game,
I plant bigger proof
Every seed I drop
turns the roofline blue
[Nectar]
I drip, I drip
like nectar on the blade
Sweet on the tongue,
then the whole room caves
I seen cold hands fold
when the heat got close
Now the same boy
got a whole throne rose
[Chorus]
Venom in my veins
Venom in my veins
Boy, I bloom then burn
Venom in my veins (venom in my veins)
Palace on the hill
Palace on the hill
I came through the fire
Palace on the hill (palace on the hill)
[Verse 2]
Ferry rolls slow
through a black-water cut
I keep my calm face
while the dogs all bark
Leaves on my collar,
ash on my tongue
Tell 'em I’m the one
when the day is done
I don’t chase crowns,
I make ground shake
Old fear dies fast
when the roots get brave
Vegetation thick
round the iron fence
Every scar I own
got a green line in it
[Bridge]
Let the smoke rise
let the moon watch me
I was wild at first,
now the soil know me
Hands full of thorns,
heart full of gold
Boy turned king
with a venomous hold
[Chorus]
Venom in my veins
Venom in my veins
Boy, I bloom then burn
Venom in my veins (venom in my veins)
Palace on the hill
Palace on the hill
I came through the fire
Palace on the hill (palace on the hill)
