[Intro] [piano loop enters, vinyl crackle] Yeah. [kick and snare enter] You really thought you could step in blind? [record scratch] Yo. Sit down, kid. I got something for you. Clean rap, no mess. Just truth. Uh. [Verse 1] [male rap vocals] Look at you smirking like the throne got vacancy Eyes wide, mouth running, zero traceability I've been ghosting these shadows since the concrete spoke Building empires, quiet while your type just choke You toss a jab thinking it lands like a king's decree But I'm calm in the corner, sipping irony Amused at the nerve, the audacity glows You don't even register the way that I hold Never flash the crown, never need to shine Real power hums low, doesn't beg for a line You parade your little spark like it's wildfire rage I've been forged in furnace, turned pain into page You talk tough circles, I walk straight blades Cut through the noise without raising a shade, see Reputation don't announce, it just arrives You feel the room shift before the word survives [Chorus] I gotta wrap it up for you Tied neat, no loose thread, I'm on top, gift-wrapped dread You've been living surface, skating thin ice Now the law drops heavy, pay the price I gotta wrap it up for you Calm voice, iron grip, this joint's mine, get the script You don't know the counsel that nods when I pass Silent generals forged in winners that last [Verse 2] No banners, no trumpets, just scars that don't show Loyalty carved deeper than you'll ever know You swing for clout, I aim for the root One verse for me and your whole narrative's moot Think you're disruptive? I'm tectonic shift Earth moves patient then the place just lifts I could bury you clever, leave metaphors sharp But why waste the ink when your ego's the mark? You chase the reaction, I chase the lesson Ancient code etched where the heart meets aggression Fierce when it's needed, sympathetic to you But cross that line foolish, feel the absolute truth Steel in the velvet, thunder been hushed You thought this was open? Nah, doors been crushed [Chorus] I gotta wrap it up for you Tied neat, no loose thread, I'm on top, gift-wrapped dread You've been living surface, skating thin ice Now the law drops heavy, pay the price I gotta wrap it up for you Calm voice, iron grip, this joint's mine forever, get the script [Verse 3] I came up where street lamps flickered like dying stars Twelve years old, counting bruises instead of cars Parkside homes left chalk lines in the heart Mother worked double, still answered every call I learned the old ways from a grizzled vet next door Stories of samurai, stoic knights who bore more He taught me stillness is the deadliest art How to hold rage quiet, let it fuel the heart Nights I walked blocks alone, mapping every crack Dodging traps they laid for kids who never came back I chose the pen over the piece, ink over lead Turned every wound into verses they never read Built a circle of brothers, not a chain of gold But with promises kept when the nights got cold We carried each other through grief that tried to break us Learned the secret real strength is the choice not to take So when you're strolling, swinging like you owned the air I see the boy I buried, still lost, still scared I don't hate you, pup, I pity the path you chose But mercy is limited when the garden's exposed I guarded this soil with sweat and with silence Now you trample roots that survived every violence This isn't anger, this is law laid bare A quiet king reminding you who's really there So next time you enter, eyes open wide Know the king ain't loud, he just resides Roots run deeper than your flash can see I don't need a scream, the echo teaches me [Outro] Yeah. We down here. Gravy. Baby. [piano fades out]
