From the depths of the struggle, a king among, I
I lace my lyrics with a royal thread, I
Born a pauper to the game, now I’m breaking bread, I
Stacking deeds and titles, got the world in my clasp, I
From street corners to the throne, got the game in my grasp, I
Spit it so rich, like the Midas touch, I
Turned pain to power, my reign's too much, I
In the coupe I ride, through the cities I roam, I
In the streets they chant, 'long live the throne', I
I turned
Been aiming for the crown, now it's mine alone, I
Carve my name in the game with a diamond-studded tone
Right from the gutter, I rose up through strife, I
Studied the greats, now I'm cuttin' like a knife, I
Took the scepter from the has-beens, breathin' new life, I
To the rhythm nation, I'm the king, bringin' hype,
Blacktop to the studio, soaked in my sweat, I
Laid down verses, bet your fortune, I'm a sure bet, I
Raised the bar sky-high, the game in my debt, I
Watched the haters fall off, they're gone, no regret
In my throne scene, where the crown gleam, I
Rule the bass lines, beats dressed in my prime, I
Drop more bars than tycoons with gold cards, I
Rule the airwaves, my rhymes hard and starlit
First they sleep on you, then they gotta learn
I burn through tracks, heatwaves in every turn
They whisper 'bout the king, now they scream my set
I'm the ruler of the flow, cashing royal checks
Doubt me? Homie, just wait and see
Every verse I spit, they cop an homage fee
Got a scepter mic, with the kingdom's key,
Command the beatscape, every emcee's envy,
Majesty's protocol, spit it viciously,
In the cypher court, holding my decree,
Cash crowns, they hail the lyric monarchy,
Watch the empire rise, this reign's dynasty,
Crown jewel verses, sparking up the legacy,
Paper chase marathon, I'm the one they chase, see
Heavy is the head that commands the throne,
But my dome's built for pressure, solid like stone,
[bridge]
[scratch breakdown]
In the spotlight glare where the flashbulbs flare, I
Dominate the scene like I'm rarefied air, I
Hold dominion in the rhythm, I'm the nightmare, I
Craft the anthems that have 'em jumping from their lair
I set the standard, they just copy the blueprint
My legacy's stamped in the grooves and the imprint
You wanna dethrone me? Meet defeat and descent
I'm the chosen, wearing diamonds over battles fought and won
Call me sovereign of the sound, the forever number one
Grinding 'til the morning like the moon chases the sun
They say heavy lies the crown, but I wear it light
I'm in the studio at dawn, crafting dynamite
Lines hit your chest like a royal decree
I'm the monarch of the mic, in the rap spree, see
Yeah, I reign supreme, in this concrete jungle
Dealing out tracks, watch the kingdom rumble
Got the court on lock, competition crumbles
When I spit the verse, feel the rap world tumble
Like Midas, everything I touch goes platinum
Rhymes turn to gold, yeah, the crowd gets some
[Outro]
I'm the sovereign in the streets where the cyphers roar, I
Craft the saga, spit the lore, while the fans implore, I
Reign supreme, my legacy's core, I
Echo through time, the rap monarch endure
[verse 3]
Once upon a time they ain't know the name
Now they carve it up high in the Hall of Fame
I navigate the game, like a grandmaster's moves, I
Elevate the throne with every groove that I choose
Enemies bow down, allies salute
As I lay down the law, in the booth absolute
Yea, they crowned me in the streets, made the asphalt kneel, I
Lay verses like the gospel, every word they feel, I
Steady climbing charts, my reign, they can't repeal, I
Drop the hammer of bars, my flow's pure, no frills
Silence all critics, mute 'em with the skill, I
Ride the rhythms like a chariot, I'm in for the kill, I
Stack my kingdom tall, every lyric's a brick, I
Build an empire, watch it stand firm and thick
In the booth I slay, dragons at my feet, I
Sit enthroned in gold, every outcome's elite, I
