[Intro]
[record scratch]
Treasure map
On the mic stand
[coin clink]
(yeah, set sail)
[Verse 1]
Scar on my dream like Luffy
Grand line plotted in my notebook
Crew full of outcasts, ugly
Still we shine harder than a gold hook
Barrel full of rum in my bloodstream
Laugh at the gods when they doubt me
Bounty on my head in the substream
Wanted poster printed in the county
I was eating cup noodles by the crate
Now I’m eating up stages, every state
Whole world government can hate
I just level up rage, change fate
Docked at the edge of the deadline
Pink smoke curl from the headline
Every failed verse was a red sign
Now I’m gear fifth heart, watch it redline (hah!)
[Chorus]
I’m gon’ be king of the pirates (say what?)
Crown made of scars and sirens
My flag fly high in the violence
Storm in my chest, I’m smiling (ha)
I’m gon’ be king of the pirates (king!)
Turn that pain into islands
Every “you can’t” start silent
’Til it turns to a chant, stay wildin’ (wildin’)
[Verse 2]
[glitchy music box loop starts]
Heart like a clock in a shipwreck
Tick-tick talk, every bar, big threat
Sugar on the tongue but the grip set
Cute on the top, in the pit it’s a chin check
Bubblegum drip on a blade edge
Pink hoodie on a black pledge
Underdog howl from the bunk bed
Now my name ring out like a drumhead (boom)
I don’t freestyle, I free seas
Break chains, break codes, break knees
Every small town street, that breeze
Carried my hunger, my nose, that cheese
If the route look wrong, I’ll twist it
If the sky fall down, I’ll lift it
Whole ocean in a teacup, sip it
Spit typhoons out, too gifted (too gifted)
[Chorus]
I’m gon’ be king of the pirates (aye!)
Crown made of scars and sirens
My flag fly high in the violence
Storm in my chest, I’m smiling (smiling)
I’m gon’ be king of the pirates (yeah)
Turn that pain into islands
Every “you can’t” start silent
’Til it turns to a chant, stay wildin’
[Bridge]
[vinyl spin-back, crowd murmur]
Who said I can’t sail this far? (who?)
Who said I can’t crack that star? (who?)
Talk cheap when you stuck on the shore
I put my whole damn soul in a bar
Count every L like treasure
Stack every doubt like measure
When the needle drop, that pressure
Make a new world map from the fracture (let’s go)
[Chorus]
I’m gon’ be king of the pirates (king!)
Crown made of scars and sirens
My flag fly high in the violence
Storm in my chest, I’m smiling (ha)
I’m gon’ be king of the pirates (say it)
Turn that pain into islands
Every “you can’t” start silent
Now it’s “long live the king,” we wildin’ (we wildin’)
[Outro]
[record crackle, distant wave hit]
Treasure map
On the mic stand
If I say it
It’s already planned (yeah)
