[Intro] So… You want my… Ego? (CAW!!!!) HA! Hahahahahah! You seem to be suffering… Under the grand delusion.. That I will go gently… ..into that good night. Then let’s get it. (RAGE!) [Verse 1] I wore the mask like a crown of gold Every wound turned my blood cold Built a kingdom outta broken names Still walked out laughing through the open flames They said “bow down,” I said “watch me rise!” Lightning spears dancing behind my eyes I been face to face with the worst in me Now the beast and the king both ride free with me! Yeah— I heard the whispers in the dark backstage “Too loud, too proud, too full of rage” (GOOD!)😡 Turn the pressure into gasoline breeze Struck one spark—now the whole world anti-freeze. You want my ego? Take your shot. But every scar you touched Just reminds me of what I’m not. I remember cold long nights without a hope. I remember a solemn savior without no pope. I remember walking on eggshells with no straw to grasp for. And it drove me insane with no punchline to laugh for. (AZRAKHOR!) Back when every hallway felt haunted. Every dream felt sharp throat slit; unwanted. Had a heart full of fire and a mouth full of smoke. Still somehow kept breathing when my whole world broke. Now I walk like thunder when I enter the room. I Smile at the shadow, let it dance to the tomb. If I fell to the bottom and survived that depth. Then there ain’t a single soul that can threaten what is left. [Verse 2] Now the crowd screams loud when I step through the haze. But they never saw the hell in my earlier days. Never saw me staring at the ceiling at four. Asking God what the suffering was for. I was young with a war in the back of my brain. Trying hard not to drown in the weight of the pain. Every loss hit hard like a nail through bone. Still I learned how to stand. when I stood alone. I got scars that glisten when the light hits right. Got a past still growling when it hungers at night. But I don’t run —nah, I let it speak. Turned every curse into power every time I blink. So if you want my ego, come and take a piece. You’ll find broken chains and a well-earned peace. A man who looked death in the face and cracked a grin. Cuz the fire outside matched the war I won within. [Verse 3] I don’t fear the mirror when it calls my name. I shook hands with loss, no… WE AINT THE SAME! Every lie that broke me made the spirit hard. Now I carve my truth in like a prison guard. I was buried alive in a silent mind. With a thousand voices shouting “stay confined”. (NO!) I clawed through dirt with blood stained teeth and pride. Now their graves looks small from the other side. Look— You can hear that laugh from a mile away. That’s a man who survived what he couldn’t say. Turned shame into fuel, turned pain into art. Beat life bloody with a faith filled heart. So go ahead, judge every step I take Every move I make, every vow I break Cuz I know who I am when the lights all end And I’d die ten times just to say FUCK YOU! (Again!) [Chorus] You want my ego? COME TAKE IT. Every crack in my soul? God remade it. I walked through fire with a grin on my face Now I move like thunder rippling through the base HA! You want my pride? Then you can bleed-out for it too! Cuz every crown that I wear Was ripped straight through. Hands to the sky while the whole world shakes. I survived myself, what a beautiful face! So if you came for the monster inside— YOUR WELCOME! — I stopped trying to hide. [Epitaph] You want my ego? Go ahead and kill this. I got pride in heart and it shines, sweet bliss. I don’t glorify pain, but the tests that I overcame. Every scar just a chapter that taught me my name. I don’t worship the fire, I fought through it; swung. And came out speaking truth like it twisted on the tip of my tongue. Every ending I’ve faced just became where I come from. I slam down the book like there ain’t nothing new under this Son. [outro] "The light shines in the darkness & the darkness can not overcome. "
