Ranking of Kings

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Really had to flip the script up on 'em Fix the system, got 'em pissed this kid's In front of everybody that would think I'm Sisyphus when Pushing every blockade to the side to hit that mythic summit Yeah, slow it down, the whole tone shift when I roll into town Not the most vocal, so how ironic that I would be known for my sound Yeah, my role was profound, born to be something I knew it since way back But nothing come naturally, you're probably hearing the twentieth take on the playback This shit's a grind, every day tryna find me a hit in a haystack But I keep on writing, so I can look back on the catalogue proud that I made that Thеy tryna keep me in boxes like I'm moving towns up in Animal Crossing But thеy can keep counting their losses, raising the bar, we been crossing the octaves Now they been tryna come press me, I'm used to the flac like my audio lossless I do shit ten others couldn't, I'm moving big numbers, I'm really on boss shit Uh, go mode, step to the king, you get minimilised like a logo We can't go blow for blow, you'd go comatose in my zone, bro I can still score while they're shifting the goal post, having y'all fly as a dodo Don't give a fuck 'bout your postcode, still bring the gold home, fuck a collective, I'm solo Came from the bottom, now I'm really up at the top of the ranking of kings Spent every penny I made just to get here, finally banking my wins How does he do it? Thought he was muted, I can not act on a whim Came from the bottom, now I'm really up at the top of the ranking of kings Look, I'm never flawless But I'm working on showing my flaws less Fall to the floor less If I'm outta the saddle I'm climbing back up on our horses This is how lords live Folks are in love with the things I've recorded And I'm honoured, but honest The pressure comes on like a corset And I can't afford it to break under pressure when people are looking to me Bet if they're scoping my spot, then I'm giving them something to see Cause I am unbreakable, I am unstoppable, I am the power they're trying to reach Became an animal, I am infallible, I do not know what I'm trying to be [Verse 2] What if this strength of mine fades stoking the fire in the furnace How can I keep up the pace, who could I face, what was I worth in the first place What if this kingdom falls? Who wears the crown of a king in abandoned halls? Who waves the banner when all that, it stands for has burned or crumbled and died in the war? How could I lead with so much doubt? When everybody expects much more I know people want me shout out, they keep running and I just crawl I just crawl along on my face, Mitsumata, y'all fucked up snakes Not my father, I can't move stars, but I'm reaching farther than his mistakes Nah, they don't know how much this shit takes I'm not Kage, I'll ditch this shade, Bojji, I will not be dismayed Bojji, I will never turn my back, these days are rough, but I'm gon hit back Wasn't tough enough, wasn't good enough, I just hope this love stays intact I was pushed to the bottom, just an obstacle they'd skip past Now I know they've forgotten, but I'll show them all my impact Before I show them, I'll show myself, mental strain and I don't feel well Up at night and I'm in my mind, I find thoughts of mine that I fight like hell Truth is sometimes I don't know who can help Gave it all just to get here, if it's meant to be, time will tell Came from the bottom, now I'm really up at the top of the ranking of kings Spent every penny I made just to get here, finally banking my wins
