[Subway noises ] (Whhooooosssshhhhh!) *[Crowds walking past yelling and steps] *Feedback as the mic is powered up [VERSE 1] Yo, you think you're a king? Nah, you’re just a jester I’m the glitch in your fix, I'm the queen of the game, you the pawn on your knees I'm the acid in your veins, I'm the riddle they told I’m the echo in your mind that makes your sanity fold I’m the wolf in the night, while you sheep in disguise Got a crown but no vision, got no clarity in your eyes I’m the flash of the blade, you the rust on the tool Every move that I make, it’s like schoolin’ a fool You talkin’ like you hot? I’m colder than the freeze You like a broken light, I’m the one that they need Every step that you take, I’m the shadow you flee You a slave to the game, I’m the one who’s free [CHORUS] Step back! (Step back!) You’re just a pawn (just a pawn!) Kneel to the hare, the queen’s on the dawn! (Bow!) Step back! (Step back!) You’re just a pawn (just a pawn!) Kneel to the hare, the queen’s on the dawn! (Bow!) [VERSE 2] I'm the fire that you can't quench, I'm the storm you can't tame I’m the clash of the thunder, I’m the beat of the flame You ain't built for this war, you’re a casualty in the fight I'm the lion that roars while you run from the light I’m the bullet through your chest, you the paper in my path You a joke in this game, you the aftermath You ain't queen, you a clown, in a throne made of dust I'm the queen, I rise, you the pawn, just a bust I’m the nightmare that haunts every dream you have Every bar I spit, got you beggin’ for a nap You a glitch in my system, just a virus to my throne I reign supreme, you ain't even got a home [CHORUS] Step back! (Step back!) You’re just a pawn (just a pawn!) Kneel to the hare, the queen’s on the dawn! (Bow!) Step back! (Step back!) You’re just a pawn (just a pawn!) Kneel to the hare, the queen’s on the dawn! (Bow!) [VERSE 3] You a shadow in my game, I’m the light in the flame You’re the echo in the void, I’m the roar in the name Every line I spit is like a bomb in your mind You try to catch up, but you're just fallin' behind I'm the beast in the cage, you the mouse in the trap Every move that I make, leave your world in collapse You a glitch in my matrix, I’m the code that you need Every line that I drop, I’m the queen of the creed You don’t know how to fight, I’m a soldier with a plan While you’re stuck in the sand, I’m the ocean with the dam Your words are hollow shells, but my bars keep ringin’ Every time I speak, it’s like I’m throwin' a sting in [CHORUS] Step back! (Step back!) You’re just a pawn (just a pawn!) Kneel to the hare, the queen’s on the dawn! (Bow!) Step back! (Step back!) You’re just a pawn (just a pawn!) Kneel to the hare, the queen’s on the dawn! (Bow!)
