I hear 'em talkin', but not walkin' through the gauntlet I walk
said pressure makes diamonds, and I’m the hands where they’re carved
Etched like a scar, tear through facades
Nod if you want, kneel to a God
Who was born in the dark and burns with devilish squads
Ain’t no smiles for cameras, just eyes on the frauds
No peace where I’m from, just war and no cross
No fear remains, I own my fate
Hold the line, call my name
fire’s rising in my veins
Let the beast inside awake
one more time embrace the pain
never break under the weight
No cage can hold me down in chains
Nowhere safe there’s no escape
Do Not Resuscitate
I’ll take my place when chaos reigns
The saving grace of martyred saints
A lotta people say
But never know my name
Talk me on the radio
Same shit different day
Ha — imagine me take aim
They don’t really wanna war, they don’t even wanna bang — nah —
Words games, ya never wanna play
So every phrase a clip spray
When verses ricochet
Nah we are not the same
Everyone on pedestals, everyone but me
Rising from the grave — no chains
I walk with a mask, while they try to save face
Raised from the valley, forged by the flames
No end in my reign, I run the whole place
Pressure makes diamonds, I carry all weight
Now I shine in the dark, watch the other ones cave
I stay real — exposin’ two faced snakes
I do what they can’t do on their best day
Economic
There’s a reason I’m iconic
Smoke solid
Rollin’ up chronic
Taking in dollars, reinvest the profits
Bet against the Lord? I ain’t ever lost yet
