[Intro] I’m in two worlds, watch me split One hand on the mic, one on the rift Look close — you get what you pick (One truth, two shadows) [Verse 1] I walk in gold and rust Both in the same breath Mortal men talk tough I talk to life and death Knot word: crown Take the throne, or take the fall Knot word: void I make a palace out the wall You see one man, I see the board Past, present, future — all stored My name hit first, then the room shook Your whole style read like a borrowed book I’m the type of ghost and king Wave and stone in the same ring If I blink, the script rewrites If I speak, the dark gets light (He’s here) / (He’s gone) Pick a lane, you won’t be long [Pre-Chorus] Observe me and the facts bend I’m the start and the last end Your “best” is a footnote, thin My smallest move starts a storm within [Chorus] I’m the crown in the split sky I’m the crown, I don’t die Pick the path, watch it change I’m the same and I’m the strange I’m the crown in the split sky I’m the crown, I don’t lie You can look, then it fades I’m the king of both ways [Verse 2] Your bars got weight, mine got orbit I drop one line, whole blocks distort it I got one foot in the pit One foot where the prophets sit Knot word: light I bend it into a blade Knot word: smoke I’m the shadow that gets named You chase applause, I shift the frame You chase a face, I erase the name Entangled with the coldest night My hunger and the moon collide Your fear and my calm connect One flash, your whole world’s checked I’m a paradox in a crown The more you stare, the less I’m found Dead to your chart, alive in the cut A cat in the box with the door torn up (Still here) / (Already left) I win either way you guess [Bridge] Ask the room, it answers me Ask the void, it hands me keys Knot word: throne I build it from broken glass Knot word: throne And it still outlasts your past I am fixed, I am flow I am the seed and the snow You can measure, you can try I become the thing you eye [Chorus] I’m the crown in the split sky I’m the crown, I don’t die Pick the path, watch it change I’m the same and I’m the strange I’m the crown in the split sky I’m the crown, I don’t lie You can look, then it fades I’m the king of both ways [Outro] One man, many states One voice, ten gates You choose the line you chase I was real in every place
