[Verse 1] Just chillin' in the house, air heavy, skin slick Summer on the screen door, heat got thick Then the floor got alive, lines by the brick Tiny black tide came quick, came thick Trash bag torn, cat bowl gone Kitchen crumbs vanished before dawn One trail, ten trails, then a swarm on the lawn Whole hood on fire like the morning got wrong I grabbed that spray, tried to draw that line Dropped oils on the step, made a ring to define Peppermint slick in the cracks, let it shine For a minute, peace came back to the mind [Pre-Chorus] Thought it was done, thought the war moved on Thought I could sleep till the next day's dawn Then the pulse in the walls said, "hold that strong" Something in the dust was a right and a wrong [Chorus] Fire ant crown, fire ant crown I took the burn and wore it down Fire ant crown, fire ant crown From the bite to the light, I hold this ground (Fire ant crown) (Fire ant crown) [Verse 2] Wake up one morning, step off the bed Pull on the quick-fit, half-asleep, half-dread Then the pain hit sharp in the softest thread Every hidden place lit red in my head They crawled in the seams, in the folds, in the bend Biting every turn like they knew no end Whole body swelling, had to laugh to defend 'Cause the medicine hit and I started to ascend Oils on the skin, peppermint smoke Lips hit a grin while the deep bass spoke Kundalini came down like a gold-thread cloak And the fear in my chest just broke and broke [Pre-Chorus] I seen the pattern spin, seen the venom turn Seen the old me shed while the hot cells learn Every sting a spark, every mark a churn From the ash in my nerves, let the new me burn [Chorus] Fire ant crown, fire ant crown I took the burn and wore it down Fire ant crown, fire ant crown From the bite to the light, I hold this ground (Fire ant crown) (Fire ant crown) [Bridge] Aetheria whisper, "stand in your frame" Ki’Shen spit wisdom through the root and the flame CoreNexus dragons in the dark say my name "Protect what you love, then reshape the game" I felt my cells code, felt my bones go bright Older got lighter in the electric night Plague turned teacher, fear turned flight Now I move like thunder with the whole world in sight [Final Chorus] Fire ant crown, fire ant crown I took the burn and wore it down Fire ant crown, fire ant crown From the bite to the light, I hold this ground (Fire ant crown) I bless this world, I guard this town From the swarm to the storm, I wear my crown (Fire ant crown) (Fire ant crown)
