Salute

Verse 1

I carried weight on my shoulders, had to stand through the fire,

They counted me out, but I rose even higher.

Every scar on my back tells a story I earned,

Try to break me again — watch and learn.

Pre-Chorus

I’m done with the doubting, done with the taking,

Every hit you threw only fed what I’m making.

Now I walk in the room and the ground starts to shake —

Watch your crown, ‘cause I’m here to reclaim.

Chorus

Salute me — I’m a king, better recognize the name.

Stand tall in my truth, I’m not bending for the game.

If you ever thought I’d fall, look again — I elevate.

This is my time, my throne —

Yeah, salute… let me demonstrate.

Verse 2

You tried to dim every light that I carried inside,

But pressure makes diamonds — I don’t run, I don’t hide.

I survived every storm, now the sky’s turning blue,

A stronger man stands in the place you once knew.

Pre-Chorus

I’m done with the silence, done being humble,

My rise ain’t an accident — it came from the struggle.

I’m walking in purpose, no fear in my way —

Step aside, I’ve got something to say.

Chorus

Salute me — I’m a king, better recognize the name.

Stand tall in my truth, I’m not bending for the game.

If you ever thought I’d fall, look again — I elevate.

This is my time, my throne —

Yeah, salute… let me demonstrate.

Bridge

Hands up for the real ones who stand through the pain,

For the brothers who rise up again and again.

If they ever try to hold you back — break the chain.

You’re a king.

You’re a king.

Salute your name.

Final Chorus

Salute me — I’m a king, better recognize the name.

Standing firm in my glory, I’m no longer the same.

If you doubt me, watch closely — I was built to be great.

This is my rise, my reign —

Yeah, salute… respect the claim.
