KING OF THE ASHES

[Intro] Yeah… I built myself outta nothing. So don’t tell me what the fuck I can’t be. Let’s go. [Chorus – melodic] I came from the ashes, turned nothing to gold, Heart made of fire, my soul never cold. They tried to break me, but I never fold, Now everything I touch turns bold. I’m the king of the ashes — watch me rise, watch me grow, If they said I’d never make it, well they never fucking know. Now I’m standing on the ruins of the lies they used to throw, And I’ll burn the whole world if that’s what it takes to glow. [Verse 1 – rap] Had knives in my back, had dirt on my name, People switching sides like it’s just a fucking game. Fake love in my DMs, acting like they stayed — Where the fuck were you when I almost lost my brain? I carried whole nights with a heart full of pain, Woke up every morning in a storm full of rain. I learned how to fight while they laughed at my dreams, Now I’m living every one while they watch from the screens. I ain’t here for a pat on the back — I’m here for respect, for the crown, for the stack. If life is a war, I ain’t cutting no slack, I’m the wolf in the dark and I never run back. [Pre-Chorus – half-sung] Every scar on my body is a story they don’t know, Every fall I survived helped me stand even more. Now the world wants a piece, but I won’t sell my soul— Let ’em talk, let ’em hate, let me glow. [Chorus – melodic, big] I came from the ashes, turned nothing to gold, Heart made of fire, my soul never cold. They tried to break me, but I never fold, Now everything I touch turns bold. I’m the king of the ashes — watch me rise, watch me grow, If they said I’d never make it, well they never fucking know. Now I’m standing on the ruins of the lies they used to throw, And I’ll burn the whole world if that’s what it takes to glow. [Verse 2 – rapid flow] I’ve been down bad, I’ve been ghosted, ignored, Slept with demons ’cause I couldn’t afford To lose myself twice, so I built up a sword Made of pain and ambition — now I’m kicking down doors. I saw envy in eyes, saw betrayal in friends, Saw forever fall apart in a couple of seconds. But the moment I realized I’m my own damn weapon, I started winning wars that I stopped expecting. Now I’m driving through the night with a hell-made engine, Every mile I cross feels like divine ascension. I’m the storm, I’m the spark, I’m the fucking redemption, You can feel my name burning through every dimension. [Bridge – dark melodic] Let ’em talk, let ’em lie, let ’em cry when I fly, I’m the truth they denied, I’m the fire they tried To put out — but I rise, every time, every night, With the crown on my mind and the world in my sight. [Final Chorus – stronger, emotional] I came from the ashes, turned nothing to gold, Heart made of fire, my soul never cold. They tried to break me, but I never fold, Now everything I touch turns bold. I’m the king of the ashes — watch me rise, watch me grow, If they said I’d never make it, well they never fucking know. Now I’m standing on the ruins of the lies they used to throw, And I’ll burn the whole world if that’s what it takes to glow.
