Thousand-Fold Slash

Blade on my back

Mask on my face

Dust in the air

I’m cutting my way (yeah)

Red on the handle

Callus on palm

I don’t pray for peace

I practice my calm

Cracks in the road

Ash on my shoe

Every scar on my knuckles

Is a lesson I drew

They said I’m doing too much

I said I ain’t done enough

Every door that they slammed in my face

Just sharpened me up

Came from the gutter and grime

Turned every stumble to stride

Count every failure like steps on a staircase

Up to the sky

Thousand-fold slash

I don’t swing once, I storm

Every move stacked

All of my cuts transform

From the dirt to the throne, I dash

Turn a scratch to a brand new path

When I snap, when I snap

That’s a thousand-fold slash (hey!)

Thousand-fold, thousand-fold slash

Ink on the page like blood

Spilled for the tribe I trust

I don’t chase crowns or love

I just keep sharpening up

Voices saying “slow down”

I hear “run through the wall”

If the mountain don’t move when I ask

I’ll chip at the stone till it falls

Step in the ring with my doubt

Watch how I dance in the doubt

Every cut that they tried to lay on my name

I flip and I turn it around

Cold heart, hot breath

Fog when I talk that talk

I break chains, break frames

Break every box they brought

Thousand-fold slash

I don’t swing once, I storm

Every move stacked

All of my cuts transform

From the dirt to the throne, I dash

Turn a scratch to a brand new path

When I snap, when I snap

That’s a thousand-fold slash (woah)

Thousand-fold, thousand-fold slash

Lines on my soul like steel

Folded and folded again

Pressure made edges so real

Pain just polished the grain (yeah)

Say my name soft, it’s fine

But carve it deep in the stone

I don’t die, I divide

I multiply what I own

Thousand-fold slash

I don’t swing once, I storm

Every move stacked

All of my cuts transform

From the dirt to the throne, I dash

Turn a scratch to a brand new path

When I snap, when I snap

That’s a thousand-fold slash (hey!)

Thousand-fold, thousand-fold slash
