🎚️ [Intro – (Electric guitar, slow dark reverb + 808 bass)]
(Male vocal, low tone)
They tried to take me out last night,
Slipped somethin’ in my drink, but I’m still alive.
I see the snakes behind the smiles,
But the King don’t bow — he rises twice as high.
---
🎤 [Verse 1 – (808s + low kick + steel-string rhythm guitar)]
Every night’s a movie scene,
Money, drugs, and dirty dreams.
Two, three women at my door,
They keep comin’ back for more.
But loyalty’s a lonely crown,
Too many haters want me down.
They don’t know the pain I hide,
Behind these shades, behind my pride.
---
⚡ [Pre-Chorus – (Tension synth build + snare rolls)]
Was it love, was it envy, was it just a twisted game?
Did I take somebody’s woman, did they want to take my name?
But I’m still standin’, scars and all,
And I won’t let no poison break my reign.
---
🔥 [Chorus – (Full beat drop: electric guitar riff + trap 808s + male/female harmony)]
I’m the Poisoned King, but I’m still breathin’,
They tried to kill me, but I’m still leadin’.
Can’t steal my crown, can’t take my throne,
I built this empire on my own.
Yeah, the Poisoned King, but I rise higher,
Turnin’ venom into fire.
You can’t break a cowboy soul,
I’m unshakable, untouchable.
*(Female echo – “Untouchable…”)
---
🎸 [Verse 2 – (Slide guitar + trap hi-hats, darker tone)]
Short, tall, light, dark,
They all want a piece of my heart.
But I never burn nobody, I keep it real,
Do right by everyone — that’s my deal.
So why’d they try to take me out?
Why’d they try to snuff me out?
Maybe fame’s a loaded gun,
You can’t tell the snakes from the ones you love.
---
🌒 [Bridge – (Acoustic guitar only, echo vocals)]
I ain’t a victim, I’m a survivor,
Every backstab just makes me wilder.
You think I’m done? You think I’m gone?
Nah — I’m the King, I’m movin’ on.
---
👑 [Final Chorus – (Full band + live drum fills + crowd FX)]
I’m the Poisoned King, but I’m still breathin’,
They tried to kill me, but I’m still leadin’.
Can’t steal my crown, can’t take my throne,
I built this empire on my own.
Yeah, the Poisoned King, but I rise higher,
Turnin’ venom into fire.
You can’t break a cowboy soul,
I’m unshakable, untouchable.
*(Female echo: “Unshakable… Untouchable…”)
---
🌫️ [Outro – (Guitar fade + heartbeat bass)]
Yeah, the Poisoned King… still ridin’ on.
Still ridin’ on…
Still ridin’ on…
