[Intro]
(Uh huh..)
(King of the Iron fist up in this..)
[Verse 1]
This ain't a game, it's a quest for me
Fightin' like Kombat, but no fatalities
Tekken uppercuts, with reality (Reality!)
Yeah, I was down, but adversity
Made me rise, Mckhenna's thoughts, gave me clarity (Clarity!)
To fight the fear, see the unity, between you and me.
Chose this path to spit truths, so knowingly!
On this beat, just a dude, showin’ who I be
No flawless victory! It is all a lesson to be known,
So i grow, stronger in the soul. (Whoa!)
Step to the side evade, let me glide away,
Motion fluid, unseen, to better days! (Better days!)
[Chorus]
Rise above, yeah I'm breakin' through the mess (Through the mess!)
In a world that's lost, I find the realness (Realness!)
Adversity's a test, never settle for less (For less!)
Fightin' shadows in the mist, I’m buildin’ my fortress (Fortress!)
[Vinyl scratches lightly] [808bass drops]
[Verse 2]
Screens control, they puppet the minds
Slip their strings, seek the truth, it’s hard to find (Find!)
Validation's fleeting, don't you be confined
In a cyberweb, I weave my peace, unwind (Unwind!)
[Vinyl scratches lightly] [808bass drops]
[Verse 3]
In this labyrinth, I navigate the haze
Pixels flashing lies, veins pulse with rage (Rage!)
But I won't be caged, in this digital maze
Mental prison break, gotta seize the day (The day!)
Struggle's real, but my spirit won't decay (Won't decay!)
Concrete dreams, foundations I lay (I lay!)
[Bridge]
Disconnect to reconnect, feel the pulse within
Analog heart in a digital sin, where to begin?
I found my rhythm, in the silence of the spin
Eyes wide open now, I refuse to blend in
