(Intro) (Sound of a heavy bass beat dropping, distinct scratching sound) (Low, rough voice speaking slowly) Yeah... They ask me for the formula. They want the cheat code. But they don't wanna walk the road. Joker X. Let’s go. (Verse 1) Look, they laughed when I said I was painting a vision Locked in the basement, treated like a prison, creating a schism Between who I was and who I’m destined to be Nobody looked at my face and saw the best of me, see? They saw a lose cannon, a man with no plan and no chance But I was sharpening steel while they were learning to dance. I ate rejection for breakfast, swallowed the doubt with the crust Turned all their hatred into engine combustion and thrust. You waiting for applause? Man, wait till you rot ‘Cause the world doesn't care if you make it or not. The silence is loud when you’re building the floor But the noise will be deafening when you kick down the door. (Chorus) (Heavy, anthem-style beat. Voice gets louder and more commanding) It ain’t about the money, it ain’t about the flex It’s believing you’re the king when you’re down to your neck! That’s the secret, that’s the weapon, that’s the heart of the tech Put your life on the line, yeah, put the dream on the check! When nobody sees it, that’s when it’s real Only you know the power, only you grab the wheel. Joker X on the map, yeah I broke out the seal If you don’t back yourself, tell me, who the hell will? (Verse 2) (Speed increases - Double time flow) I remember the teachers, the preachers, the leeches Who told me to stay in the bleachers. Now I’m the creature, the main double feature Breaking the speakers, tearing through sneakers. I didn't need a co-sign, I signed my own soul Dug deep in the dirt just to fill up the hole. You look for validation like a drug in your vein I found motivation inside of the pain. It’s mental, it’s elemental, I’m going dental Biting the curb just to pay for the rental— Of space in your head! Yeah, I said what I said. I believed I was alive when they left me for dead. So keep your opinions, I’m building an empire Fueling the flame ‘til the whole game catch fire! (Chorus) It ain’t about the money, it ain’t about the flex It’s believing you’re the king when you’re down to your neck! That’s the secret, that’s the weapon, that’s the heart of the tech Put your life on the line, yeah, put the dream on the check! When nobody sees it, that’s when it’s real Only you know the power, only you grab the wheel. Joker X on the map, yeah I broke out the seal If you don’t back yourself, tell me, who the hell will? (Outro) (Beat starts to fade out, heavy breathing) That’s it. That’s the only rule. If you look in the mirror and you don't see a giant... Don’t expect them to look at you and see one either. Believe. Even in the dark. Joker X. (Echo) Believe...
