[Verse 1]
I was born for the crown
Sharp teeth
Hand-me-down frown
Turn pain into banners in the air
Like fire on my tongue
Dragons in my lungs
I walk through the wreckage
Like I never even cared
[Pre-Chorus] (female vocal)
You got gold in your blood
But you still feel broke
All that weight on your name
Like a hanging rope
[Chorus] (both)
Blood for the crown
I won’t bow down
Make ‘em all remember my name when I’m gone (when I’m gone)
Storm in my chest
Steel in my mouth
If the world wants war, then I’m bringing it on (bringing it on)
[Verse 2] (male rap, female ad‑libs)
Like a lion in the hall
Every scar, every fall (yeah)
Turn shame into armor I wear in the cold (so cold)
Got that honor in my bones
Calling me back home
To the hard, hard earth
Where the stories get told
[Pre-Chorus] (male vocal, female harmony)
You got ghosts in your line
You can hear ‘em sing
Every promise you break
Puts rust on the ring
[Chorus] (both)
Blood for the crown
I won’t bow down
Make ‘em all remember my name when I’m gone (when I’m gone)
Storm in my chest
Steel in my mouth
If the world wants war, then I’m bringing it on (bringing it on)
[Bridge] (female lead, male echoes)
If I burn, I burn brighter (brighter)
If I fall, I fall higher (higher)
Every cut, every curse
Just fuel for the fire (fire)
[Chorus] (both, stacked harmonies)
Blood for the crown
I won’t bow down
Make ‘em all remember my name when I’m gone (when I’m gone)
Storm in my chest
Steel in my mouth
If the world wants war, then I’m bringing it on (bringing it on)
Blood for the crown
Right here, right now
Either carve me a throne or get off my way (get off my way)
