King Of Ash

[Intro] (A distorted, slow, echoing synth chord holds, followed by a thick 808 drop.) (Deep, gravelly, slurred): Yeah, that smoke in the air? That’s me, motherfucker... **FUCK IT!** (Smoky cough, followed by a demonic chuckle): Ah... **SHIT’S** good. Burn it down. [Verse 1] I am the haze in the sky, you can't see the light I'm blocking, I stay high as **FUCK**, watch the Earth spinning, no stopping. You thought you saw God? Nah, that was just the reflection of my chrome, Riding through the seven circles, treating this **goddamn** dimension like my home. I talk slow, yeah, I move slow, but every action is a check, You think you’re breathing easy, but I got my claws around your neck. I don't need a map, I don't need a key, just the weakness that you hide so deep, You make a promise, I make you weep, then I demand the promises you keep, **you bitch.** (Ad-lib, menacing): *Gotta pay the toll, motherfucker.* [Chorus] (The beat hits with maximum weight. The vocal is sharp despite the slur, overflowing with reverb and menace.) I'm the High King of Ash, cruising smooth in the low-rider flame, **I swear** I ain't even watching, but I know your full damn name. Slurred and sinister, laughing 'cause you think you got a choice, Gravelly and gone, just another high note in my fucked-up voice. Cuss and collect, yeah, that’s the motto on my black-out coat, You gave me everything, now **I'm high as FUCK** and holding your throat! **Goddamn right!** [Verse 2] I don’t negotiate, I just demonstrate what happens next, You wanted paradise? I gave you exactly what you requested. Look at the chaos, look at the fires, ain't that a beautiful scene? I’m just enjoying the view, sippin' on regret, staying serene. You tried to pray the madness out, but that prayer came through my wire, I’m the smoke, I’m the drug, I'm the one who set your whole damn world on fire. You scream for help, I just turn up the bass, crank the volume up, You're swimming in your failures, draining the poison from my cup. (Ad-lib, distorted): **Burn it down!** *It's all fucking mine!* [Bridge] (The beat momentarily slows to half-time, emphasizing the heavy bass drops and the voice's intensity.) I'm laid back but dangerous, you confuse my chill for sleep, I can hear the promises you break, the secrets that you keep. Yeah, I'm intoxicated, but my aim is still damn perfect, You're searching for salvation, but your contract made it worthless. Every time you win, you owe me twice the price, **asshole,** You traded your tomorrow for this poisoned paradise. (Slurred whisper): **FUCK IT ALL.** You got no room to run. [Chorus] (The beat and reverb intensify. The vocal is pure, confident menace.) I'm the High King of Ash, cruising smooth in the low-rider flame, **I swear** I ain't even watching, but I know your full damn name. Slurred and sinister, laughing 'cause you think you got a choice, Gravelly and gone, just another high note in my fucked-up voice. Cuss and collect, yeah, that’s the motto on my black-out coat, You gave me everything, now **I'm high as FUCK** and holding your throat! [Outro] (Beat fades out slowly with heavy synth sustain and slow 808s.) (Gravelly, fading laughter): **Ha!** Stay high, bitch... Stay high... (A final, sharp exhale and a distorted whisper): **FUCK!** You're mine.
