[Intro – Somber piano, light hi-hats]
They said power brings peace… but it brought war to my door.
Now I’m prayin’ to the ghosts that I ain’t seen before…
Can’t sleep — too many names in my core…
They bled for me, I bleed some more.
---
[Verse 1 – Introspective, melodic flow]
I seen brothers fall with they hands still reachin’,
Told me “Lead ‘em,” now I’m leadin’ while I’m grievin’.
Whole kingdom on my back, but I’m barely breathin’,
Fake love in my ear, but the silence be the realest.
I was raised by war, learned peace in the flame,
Had to turn all that loss into part of my name.
Now the city lookin’ at me like I’m both sword and saint,
But I still hear the cries when I walk through the rain.
---
[Chorus – Anthemic but soulful]
I got blood in my legacy, pain in my crown.
Made a throne from the losses, never backin’ down.
They don’t see the nights I was cryin’ with no sound,
But I turned every wound into steps on this ground.
Can’t fold, can’t break — too many lookin’ up,
I ride for the fallen, and I never gave up.
If death come knockin’, I answer like “What’s up?”
'Cause kings die real, not stuck in luck.

[Verse 2 – Street-hardened bars, focused delivery]
Lost my brother to a war that never really ended,
Put his name in the wind, now every move is vengeance.
I don’t smile in pics — that joy got suspended,
Only thing I trust is my blade and my sentence.
I told shorty, "This life gon’ change us both,"
She said, “I don’t need a throne, I just need hope.”
But how I give her peace when I move like a ghost?
They want the crown, but they don’t want the oath.
---
[Bridge – Emotional hums layered with vocals]
Still fightin’ battles I don’t talk about…
Still hearin’ voices I can’t walk without…
Still loyal to the soil, even when the roots rot…
Still prayin’ I don’t turn into what they not…
---
[Final Chorus – Bigger drums, layered harmonies]
I got blood in my legacy, fire in my name.
Walk through hell, but I ain’t feel shame.
Every scar’s just part of the game,
And I still stand tall while they throw the blame.
I’m the voice of the old, the rage of the new,
And I never gave in — I just fought it through.
So if the world fall, I fall with my crew…
But best believe I’m takin’ fate with me too.
---
[Outro – Echoes fade with just piano]
Yeah… I never asked to be king…
But I ain’t ever gonna run from it either…
