King of Shadows

[Intro]
Yeah, rise above the dirt, claim what's mine
Standing tall, I define the line
Ignore the noise, see the truth inside
I'm the king, no need to hide

[Verse 1]
He's just a shadow, a fading ghost
Walking around, coast to coast
Trying to fit, trying to be close
But he's weak, he's lost, he needs a dose
Of strength, of fire, a blazing light
Someone to guide him through the night
He wants to be a star, reach a height
But he won't fight, he won't ignite

[Pre-Chorus]
You’d think he'd use my fire as fuel
Instead he's stuck, playing the fool
Wants me to serve, to follow his rule
But I won't be nobody's tool

[Chorus]
I’m the real, the one, the true king
Standing tall, crown I bring
Fake pretender, can't see the ring
Get your act together, find your swing
Until you rise, get the strength
I won't bow down, I won’t relent
You're just a shadow, a counterfeit
Be who you’re meant to be instead

[Verse 2]
Weakness is a chain, a heavy weight
But I see potential, beyond the hate
If you just try, if you elevate
There’s a better life, a destined fate
But you're stuck, blinded by doubt
Lost in the maze, can't find the way out
Use me as motivation, turn about
Get up, stand tall, break out

[Pre-Chorus]
You’d think he'd use my fire as fuel
Instead he's stuck, playing the fool
Wants me to serve, to follow his rule
But I won't be nobody's tool

[Chorus]
I’m the real, the one, the true king
Standing tall, crown I bring
Fake pretender, can't see the ring
Get your act together, find your swing
Until you rise, get the strength
I won't bow down, I won’t relent
You're just a shadow, a counterfeit
Be who you’re meant to be instead

[Bridge]
Deep inside, there's a spark, a flame
If you ignite it, you'll make a name
No more shadows, no more shame
Claim your power, stake your claim

[Outro]
So until then, I stand alone
On this throne, known as my own
Watch him grow, or stay unknown
This is my rule, my throne
