[Verse 1]
Years in the mud
Your shadow on my throat
Every cheap cut
Every little joke
I learned the dark
I learned to bite back
Counted my bruises
Then I learned the map
You took your time
You fed on the cracks
Smiled in the ash
Thought I’d fold in half
But I kept a spark
In the wreckage you made
Now I hear your name
And the room starts to shake
[Pre-Chorus]
One step closer
Feel that ground give way
One more breath and
I’m taking back the flame
You built a cage
Now watch me split the bars
Hear that roar
I’m coming for your scar
[Chorus]
I am the best
You broke, you bent
I am the best
Now pay every cent
Say my name
Say it again
(I am the best)
I bury the end
[Verse 2]
Stone by stone
I raised my own blade
Turned your poison
Into a parade
Every lie you threw
Fed the fire in me
Now I wear your crown
On my broken teeth
You want mercy?
You should’ve asked before
Now your empire’s
Crawling on the floor
I don’t tremble
I don’t look away
I’ve got your downfall
Pacing in my veins
[Pre-Chorus]
One step closer
Feel that ground give way
One more breath and
I’m taking back the flame
You built a cage
Now watch me split the bars
Hear that roar
I’m coming for your scar
[Chorus]
I am the best
You broke, you bent
I am the best
Now pay every cent
Say my name
Say it again
(I am the best)
I bury the end
[Bridge]
Face to face now
No throne left for you
No more hiding
No more choosing doom
I’ve got the weight
And I won’t let go
This is the moment
You already know
[Breakdown]
Kneel
Kneel
Kneel for the years you stole
Fall
Fall
Fall with your empty gold
Burn
Burn
Burn in the light you fed
I won
I won
I won in your head
[Final Chorus]
I am the best
You broke, you bent
I am the best
Now pay every cent
Say my name
Say it again
(I am the best)
I bury the end
I am the best
Your crown is dead
I am the best
Now bow instead
Say my name
Say it again
(I am the best)
I bury the end
