[Intro – Artist 1] [low, wounded, confident] [Sparse beat, pulsing bass, echoing snaps] It’s insane how long I’ve been left cold Buried deep where the black roots grow Heard them pray that I’d lose control But I woke up with a war in my soul Now I walk where the light won’t go With a broken crown and a blade of bone If they fear me, let the heavens close If they judge me, let the whole world know I was made from the fire they stole Yeah, it’s my time to take back the throne [(Beat cuts. Breath.)] [Pre-Chorus – Artist 2] [cool, dangerous, teasing] [Beat creeps back in, bass swells] I don’t bend, I don’t hesitate Turned my wounds into something great Had my ghosts in the passenger seat Now they sing while I drive through fate [Chorus – Artist 1] [Big stomp rhythm, half-time, heavy pauses] Who gon’ stop me? Who gon’ try it? I don’t fall back I walk through fire (beat hits) Who gon’ stop me? Say it louder If I go down I go higher [Verse – Artist 2 Dark / Dangerous Momentum clean flow, chorus lines integrated] Runnin’ full speed where the sun burned off Voices in my head sayin’, “Don’t get soft” Who gon’ stop me? Who gon’ try it? Every wrong turn got a blood-red glow I don’t ask fate, I drag it below I don’t fall back I walk through fire Yeah, I been livin’ where the gods went quiet Heartbeat sounds like a kingdom dying Doors stay sealed, I tear straight in I don’t slow down, I just lean in I like bad omens, I like black rain I like pressure when it tastes like pain I like last breaths, no clean name I like moments they can’t frame Who gon’ stop me? Say it louder If I go down I go higher I like dead skies just to look up I like that hush when the world cuts Like it knows I’m not done yet So I step first, no regret Ooh Ooh [Hook – Artist 1] [low, reflective, returning melody] [Sparse beat, pulsing bass, echoing snaps] It’s insane how long I’ve been left cold Buried deep where the black roots grow Heard them pray that I’d lose control But I woke up with a war in my soul Now I walk where the light won’t go With a broken crown and a blade of bone If they fear me, let the heavens close If they judge me, let the whole world know I was made from the fire they stole Yeah, it’s my time to take back the throne [Pre-Chorus – Artist 2] [beat creeps back in, bass swells harder] I don’t bend, I don’t hesitate Turned my wounds into something great Had my ghosts in the passenger seat Now they sing while I drive through fate [Chorus – Artist 1 + Artist 2] [bigger, chant-like, heavier stomp] Who gon’ stop me? Who gon’ try it? I don’t fall back I walk through fire Who gon’ stop me? Say it louder If I go down I go higher [Bridge – Artist 1] [cinematic, almost whispered, building] They put my name in the dirt like a warning Left my heart where the vultures were swarming But the dead don’t dream this loud And the lost don’t wear this crown I been too far gone to save I been too loud for the grave I been face to face with fate Told it, “Move out my way” [Final Chorus – Artist 2 + Artist 1 [Iconic / slow burn] [Half-time, chants layered, beat heavier] Who gon’ stop me? Who gon’ try it? I don’t fall back I walk through fire Who gon’ stop me? Say it louder If I go down I go higher [outro– Artist 1] [low, wounded, confident] [Sparse beat, pulsing bass, echoing snaps] It’s insane how long I’ve been left cold Buried deep where the black roots grow Heard them pray that I’d lose control But I woke up with a war in my soul Now I walk where the light won’t go With a broken crown and a blade of bone If they fear me, let the heavens close If they judge me, let the whole world know I was made from the fire they stole
