(Intro) They told me to wait my turn. I told them I’m tired of waiting. The line ends here. The reign starts... now. (Verse 1) I’m a product of the pressure, I’m a diamond in the furnace Every single struggle was a lesson with a purpose I was sleeping on the floor, now I’m knocking on the door Of the palace that I promised I would capture in the war It’s a takeover, break over, tell 'em that it’s over I’m a heavyweight champion, a four-leaf clover But I didn’t get it lucky, I was gritty, I was mucky Now I’m sitting in the country and the view is looking lovely Look at the pace, I’m ahead of the race I’m a ghost in the system, a slap in the face To the doubters and cowards who sat in the towers And thought they could limit my spirit and powers I’m claiming the gold and I’m breaking the mold And I’m selling the story that’s never been told I’m a king in the making, the kingdom is shaking The throne is a gift that I’m rightfully taking! (Chorus) Bow down to the hunger, bow down to the pain I’m washing the weakness away in the rain I’m claiming the title, I’m taking the ring Yesterday a peasant, but today I am the King! (Verse 2) Got the mind of a master, the heart of a lion I’m climbing the mountain, I’ve never felt flying I’m buying the block and I’m locking the gate I’m the master of time and the captain of fate Every debt that was owed is a debt that I’m collecting Every person who doubted is a person I’m rejecting I’m a beast, I’m a god, I’m a freak, I’m a rod Of the lightning that’s striking the path that I trod Give me the scepter, give me the cape I’m a monster that nobody thought could escape From the basement, the pavement, the mental enslavement I’m making a statement of total replacement I’m the new era, the terror, the mirror That’s making the vision of greatness look clearer I’m fast as a bullet, I’m sharp as a blade And I’m staying until every tribute is paid! (Bridge) Heavy is the head that wears the crown... But I’ve been training for years, so I wouldn't drown. I don't want your crumbs. I don't want your seat. I want the whole room. Absolutely No Defeat. (Beat builds up frantically) Now give me... my... CROWN! (Verse 3) Running the kingdom and running the street I’m a lethal addition to any defeat I’m a hurricane hitting the summit of power I’m growing and glowing and this is my hour I’m better than ever, I’m clever and tethered To nothing but winning and staying untethered From limits and critics and cynics and gimmicks I’m real and I’m lethal, I’m beyond the limits I deserve every dollar, I deserve every shout I’m the king of the castle, without any doubt I’m a storm, I’m a fire, I’m a burning desire I’m climbing the wire and taking it higher The legend is written, the verdict is in I’m the only one left who is destined to win! (Outro) (The fast beat fades into a singular, echoing crown-hit sound on stone) Long live the man. Long live the dream. Long live the one and only True King.
