[Verse 1]
Name Yoda on the wall, I move in the force
Dragon in my chest when I’m taking my course
Death at the gate, I don’t flinch, I don’t fold
Heartbreak on my neck like a chain made of cold
Katana on my hip, cut clean through the lies
Black king in the mirror with the fire in his eyes
Kingdom on my back, yeah, I carry that weight
Royalty in my blood, but they came too late
Lightning in the clouds when I speak my truth
Hell hound at my heel, got the rage of youth
Forbidden son, I was born with the blame
They said hate make a man, I made power from the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I was raised in the ash
Then I rose in the flame
Every scar on my skin
Says I know my own name
[Chorus]
Forbidden son, forbidden son
I wear the crown and run
Black king, black king
I never bow to none
Forbidden son, forbidden son
My war has just begun
Orange wings, blue eyes
I’m burning like the sun
[Verse 2]
Green hair swinging when I step in the room
Lion in my lungs, hear the roar go boom
They want me buried, I turn dirt into gold
Take what was broken, make it fierce, make it whole
Orange wings flashing when I cross that line
Blue eyes cold, but they still look divine
Hate in their mouth, I don’t take that bait
I learned how to build while they learned how to hate
Kingdom got cracks, I can feel every break
Still I stand tall for the people I wake
Death tried to kiss me, I laughed in its face
Heartbreak taught rhythm, now I move with the pace
[Bridge]
Tell the old ghosts I’m not their son
Tell the cold world I’m not done
If the sky comes down, I’ll hold that sky
Lion heart loud when I rise
[Chorus]
Forbidden son, forbidden son
I wear the crown and run
Black king, black king
I never bow to none
Forbidden son, forbidden son
My war has just begun
Orange wings, blue eyes
I’m burning like the sun
