[Verse 1]
You walk in loud like you own the room
All that smoke, still smell the doom
Talk big game, but it falls flat
Cheap-ass crown and a paper-backed act
Eyes on you, I see right through
Pretty little lies in a toxic suit
Empty grin, dead-end stare
Act so high, got nowhere there
[Pre-Chorus]
Front row flex, but the throne is fake
One hard look and the mask will break
You want the heat? Then take this face
I'm the blade in your shallow space
[Chorus]
Paper crowns, they burn
Paper crowns, they burn
All that talk, no soul
Just a hollow black hole
Paper crowns, they burn
Paper crowns, they burn
Step too close, get torn
You were never built for war
[Verse 2]
Coming round like a saint with teeth
Trading truth for a cheap repeat
Every word is a borrowed pose
Every win is a lie you wrote
Tiny heart in a chest of steel
Still too small for the scars you feel
I don't bow, I don't bite my tongue
Watch your empire come undone
[Pre-Chorus]
Front row flex, but the throne is fake
One hard look and the mask will break
You want the heat? Then take this face
I'm the blade in your shallow space
[Chorus]
Paper crowns, they burn
Paper crowns, they burn
All that talk, no soul
Just a hollow black hole
Paper crowns, they burn
Paper crowns, they burn
Step too close, get torn
You were never built for war
[Breakdown]
Burn
Burn
Hollow
Empty
Burn
Burn
Your whole act falls apart
[Final Chorus]
Paper crowns, they burn
Paper crowns, they burn
All that talk, no soul
Just a hollow black hole
Paper crowns, they burn
Paper crowns, they burn
Step too close, get torn
You were never built for war
