(Verse 1 – aa bb)
Yo, the streets are calling loud, but the trap is deep
Every day a war, every glance a thief
Cops on your back, debts around your neck
But never give up, stay hard as basalt
Mom cries quietly when you don't come home at night
Siblings look up to you because you're their boss
They need you strong, not broken in jail
So swallow your pride, stay focused and dry
(Verse 2)
Don't lose yourself, brother, in the glitter of quick cash
The shine fades fast, leaving only ash and trash
You're more than the block, more than the hood and the illusion
A fire burns inside you that no one can extinguish
You get up every morning, even though everything seems shitty
Put on your shoes, even when your body screams
That's royal power, that's the real throne
Not the one with Not gold, but the one made of pure bone
(Chorus)
You're a king when you get up even when everything's burning
You're a king when you fight and understand your life
You're a king when you bring order to what was chaos
You're a king – and you'll stay one, no matter how hard it was
(Bridge – Punchlines)
Respect for yourself is the most expensive ring
No Benz, no ice, no fake king thing
You're a king when you say, "I won't let myself be brought down"
And then you get up – with broken legs
That's the moment legends are born
Not in the glitter, but when everyone gives up
(Verse 3)
Make it big? Yes, but not at any price.
Don't forget your roots, don't forget the circle.
Mom should be proud, not sad in silence.
Siblings should say, "He really made it."
So stay awake, brother, don't let them screw you over.
By the streets, by envy, by the fake stories.
You're king in your heart, king in your chest.
And as long as you know that, you've never lost – Trust.
(Outro – quiet)
King… King…
As long as you don't sell out, you'll forever remain the boss on the asphalt.
