[Intro] (Yeah) I was quiet for a minute Now they asking what happened Back up from the cage You about to see it cracking [Chorus] Release the dragon I’ve been holding back, now I’m spazzing Teeth made of pressure, lungs full of passion Pray for the floor when I land in Release the dragon Fire in my chest, all action I don’t play small, I’m expanding Say my name once, I’m at you Release the dragon [Verse 1] Tongue sharp, cut stone when I talk Turn doubt into gold when I walk Whole city on my back like weight plates Still I make the ground shake when I take off They was front row praying that I fall Now they hiding in the back of the hall Same hands that was throwing me shade Gotta shield from the flame when I rage, that’s raw Days cold, heart warm, mind savage Turn scars into fuel, that’s a habit Every “no” just a nail in the casket Of the old me buried in the attic Look I’m the storm that your forecast missed I’m the wish that your fear dismissed Once I open up the throat and the smoke come out Ain’t a soul gonna cage this myth (woo) [Chorus] Release the dragon I’ve been holding back, now I’m spazzing Teeth made of pressure, lungs full of passion Pray for the floor when I land in Release the dragon Fire in my chest, all action I don’t play small, I’m expanding Say my name once, I’m at you Release the dragon [Verse 2] Breathe heat in a world so frozen I was picked last, now I’m chosen Used to write plans on the back of receipts Now the ink turn deals when it’s spoken I don’t chase crowns, I grow horns Every loss just a new life form You can feel that roar from the rafters Every bar brand new, reborn Tell fear “step aside, I’m driving” Tell doubt “you can talk, I’m thriving” Every night I was wrestling the silence Now the silence stay quiet when I’m rhyming Yeah They said “know your place,” I did Top shelf, high flame, big risk Now I stand on the edge of the cliff, both fists up Yell “I’m that kid” (let’s go) [Chorus] Release the dragon I’ve been holding back, now I’m spazzing Teeth made of pressure, lungs full of passion Pray for the floor when I land in Release the dragon Fire in my chest, all action I don’t play small, I’m expanding Say my name once, I’m at you Release the dragon

rap, Hard-hitting trap beat with ominous strings and sub-shaking low end. Male vocals up-front and aggressive, rhythmic triplet flows in the verses, huge chant-style hook with stacked gang vocals. Sparse bells and risers between lines to build tension, final chorus explodes with ad-libs and drops out on a cold a cappella tagline.
