You wanted the crown, but it's way too heavy Wanted the stage, but you weren't steady Struck a pose, but had no ground Now the frame fell down, and I'm the sound I drew the maps, you lost the pace I lit the fire, you faded in space Flex on the feed, but ran from the heat I built the base, you faced defeat Filters and angles, an empty disguise King in appearance, but lacking the prize Shaking on the throne you swore was yours I raised up walls, you left open doors You collapse, I stay on track You freeze, I shift the flash No sweat, no glory, no truth, no show I'm the steel, you're just the smoke You let the frame fall, I kept the flame I raised the name, you lost the fame I speak in facts, you fade in haze While I rise higher, your crown decays Too loud? Too real? Too sharp to hear? You call me cruel, but I don't fake here You let the frame fall, exposed your disguise I don't shrink to fit your lies Clap-clap, you missed the stride Snap-snap, I won't hide Drop-drop, your mask is gone The frame's on the floor, and all eyes are on Paper crown can't hold a reign You post your wins, but live in pain Wanted the stage, but dodged the grind I'm the living rock, you're sand in time When the lights came up, you turned so pale I stood firm, you tripped and failed Roots don't wither inside the flame I'm eternal fire, you're a fleeting name You collapse, I stay on track You freeze, I shift the flash No sweat, no glory, no truth, no show I'm the steel, you're just the smoke You let the frame fall, I kept the flame I raised the name, you lost the fame I speak in facts, you fade in haze While I rise higher, your crown decays Too loud? Too real? Too sharp to hear? You call me cruel, but I don't fake here You let the frame fall, exposed your disguise I don't shrink to fit your lies Ghost in the feed, stage with no roots I held the ground when you cut loose Played as a king, but missed the hand I'm the one who raised the frame from the sand You let the frame fall, I kept the beat I wrote the story, you faced defeat You forged a crown, I forged in pain Now the crowd only chants my name Too fierce? Too real? Too sharp to bend? Too strong to fall to your bitter end? You let the frame fall, but I am the sight I'm the voice that set this song alight
