[Intro] Walk in, no warm-up, scoreboard already lit Name on the glass, every number counterfeit [Verse 1] I built this from a notebook, margins full of blue ink Turned a hallway daydream to a room where the walls blink No borrowed crown, I forged mine in the furnace Every loss left a lesson, every lesson made a purpose I don’t chase applause, I make the room adjust Put the doubt in a suitcase, let it ride with the dust They measure my steps, I’m already past the tape When they finish the first draft, I’m unveiling the shape [Pre-Chorus] Tell ’em check the record, check the time, check the proof I don’t need a lucky break, I brought the roof [Chorus] Best in the frame, best when the pressure gets loud Best with a blank page, best in a restless crowd Hands on the wheel, eyes fixed over the crest If the question is who’s next, tell ’em I’m the best [Verse 2] I turn a small room into headline weather Thread every syllable tight like a hand-stitched letter No shortcuts in the route, just receipts in the folder Shoulder to shoulder, still I’m a little bit bolder I know the cost of the climb, I remember each stair Now the view got wide, but the hunger stays there They want the secret—there isn’t a lock or a key It’s showing up so often that the doubt gets tired of me [Bridge] Quiet for a second, let the whole room breathe I was never waiting for permission to lead One spark, one step, one promise kept I came this far, and I’m not done yet [Chorus] Best in the frame, best when the pressure gets loud Best with a blank page, best in a restless crowd Hands on the wheel, eyes fixed over the crest If the question is who’s next, tell ’em I’m the best [Outro] No asterisk, no pause, no need to explain Put the crown where it belongs—right back on my name
