[Intro] Fallen faces Feathers in the gutter, faith in phases Halo cracked Heaven lookin’ like it turned its back (yeah) [Verse 1] Walked out the fire with smoke on my tongue Fang in my smile, still call me the son God on my line, talkin’ “what have you done?” I answer in thunder, I don’t ever run Ash on my shoulders, dust on my name Hand in the flame, I been playin’ with blame Desire like a dagger I tuck in my waist Every little wish got a consequence taste Gates in the ground start glowin’ blood red Shadows get loud, start speakin’ in my head Demons in the hallway laughin’ at the law Writing out a contract on the side of my jaw (woah) [Chorus] Fallen angels, I been flyin’ crooked God’s judgment on me, yeah, I feel ’em lookin’ Out the ruin like a phoenix when I rise Ashes on my wings, fire in my eyes (hey!) Lotus from the mud, watch the stem climb higher Sprout through the stone, I grew out the fire If hell got a gate, I’ll kick it off the hinge Cuz I’m built from the smoke and I’m born to begin [Verse 2] Sand in my veins like I came from a tomb Gold on my neck, whole past in the room Old kings speak from the cracks in the wall Tell me, “wear the curse like a robe when you fall” Step in the circle, I hear ancient drums Dance of a tribe where the wild truth comes Paint on my skin like a map to the stars Every little line trace trauma and scars Phantoms at the table, tryna eat my hope Forks in my back, they mistook me for dope I inhale pain, exhale it in smoke Turn another nightmare to another quote (yeah) River in my chest, that’s water and rage Wind in my breath tryna tear up the page Stone in my focus, I’m breakin’ the cage Fire in my faith, watch the whole world blaze [Chorus] Fallen angels, I been flyin’ crooked God’s judgment on me, yeah, I feel ’em lookin’ Out the ruin like a phoenix when I rise Ashes on my wings, fire in my eyes (fire) Lotus from the mud, watch the stem climb higher Sprout through the stone, I grew out the fire If hell got a gate, I’ll kick it off the hinge Cuz I’m built from the smoke and I’m born to begin [Bridge] From the pit to the pyramids, infinite climb Every step like a lifetime, rewritin’ the crime If the sky turn black and the ground start to split I’ma bloom in the middle, that’s the end of it (yeah, yeah) [Chorus] Fallen angels, I been flyin’ crooked God’s judgment on me, yeah, I feel ’em lookin’ Out the ruin like a phoenix when I rise Ashes on my wings, fire in my eyes (woah) Lotus from the mud, watch the stem climb higher Sprout through the stone, I grew out the fire If hell got a gate, I’ll kick it off the hinge Cuz I’m built from the smoke and I’m born to begin (begin)

rap, Cinematic trap-rap with dark orchestral stabs, heavy 808s, and airy male vocals on the hook; verses ride a mid-tempo swing with sharp hats and deep sub, chorus widens with choirs, distant taiko hits, and shimmering bell textures; final hook adds distorted ad-libs and rising synths for a phoenix-style lift-off
