[Verse 1]
Dude
Don’t let this smooth taste fool you
I’m king
Gold crown over hoodies and school shoes
Came up
Where the rain hit cold roofs
Now I’m
Walkin through the fire like it’s old news
Hallelujah
Can’t measure my might with a ruler
I’m past that
Scale broke tryna weigh what I’m made of
You need to be taught
Pull a desk
I’ll school ya
Chalk lines in the sky
Watch the lesson get laid up
[Chorus]
I’m king
Say it with your chest now
Hallelujah in the air
We don’t rest now
Can’t box my faith
Can’t test my crown
God raised me up
I can’t stay down
I’m king
Whole crowd say “yeah”
Try to count me out
I’m still there
Hands up high
Heaven in the sound
God raised me up
I can’t stay down
[Verse 2]
God don’t change folks
’til they change inside
Dig deep in the dirt
Where the fears still hide
I was runnin from the truth
Long legs
Short pride
Till grace hit hard
Like a wave at high tide
Now I move with a calm
Through the chaos
Cool
Still sharp with the tongue
But the rage got pruned
I was lost in the dark
Then the light broke through
If you think I’m done growin
You ain’t stayed for the proof
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Head high
But I bow when I pray
Every win that I get
Put it back on His name
If you feel that shift
Then you feel that flame
From the gutter to the throne
I remember where I came
[Chorus]
