Throne

Watchin' for the voices, creepin' up soon as I'm down

The positive, a whisper, gettin' lost inside a crowd

Fightin' just to hear, I gotta focus for it now

'Cause I know everybody there is just waitin' to take me out, and so I keep it movin'

Outta darkness, I still grew and had a second act

More beautiful when they thought I was finished bloomin' (what?)

Built from the ruins of a life I thought was ruined

But when you got nothin' left, that's the freedom you need to lean into it (yeah)

See, I've been fluent in that struggle talk from my inception (what?)

Went from the bottom to the top, but kept the same perspective (what?)

So flaunt your money and your follows and your necklace

But if you ain't down to go without and chase a dream, I'm not impressed with

Anything you do, I'm keepin' it real when I'm up in the booth

You might've followed the things that I've done

But that doesn't mean you can walk in my shoes (yeah)

So, please, excuse me while I kiss the sky (why?)

Don't talk the corny inspiration shit, I live an inspirational life, ay

And even though I'm off the drugs, trust that

I'm still an addict, I cannot get by without substance

I don't trust in anybody, I just go alone

Me and all my demons on this lonely road, yeah

Maybe I just feel this shit too much

Maybe y'all don't understand 'cause you're afraid to be yourself for once

Sit and judge, that's the most you'll ever get

To the ones who thought they left me for dead (for dead)

If you doubt me, put the crown back on my head

And leave me where you found me

And I won't fall, I'm not gonna die here

There's so much I can take, I don't wanna die here

Let 'em know, I'm comin' home

Return to the throne

(Let 'em know, I'm comin' home)

(Return to the throne)

(Let 'em know, I'm comin' home)

Once upon a time, they told me I would never make it

They said, "You were only put here on this Earth to entertain us"

They stripped me of my title, now I'm comin' to reclaim it

I plastered on a smile and got really good at fakin'

I did what I was told and stayed only to myself

Didn't tell a single soul that I was plannin' to rebel

I slowly built an army from the wreckage and the dirt

And I taught 'em in this life, you gotta fight for yourself first

The old you has to die, let go of who you were

Collect all their belongings, light a match and watch it burn

Sever all the ties that are connected to your past

Step into your power, say a prayer, and don't look back

Maybe I just feel this shit too much

Maybe y'all don't understand 'cause you're afraid to be yourself for once

Sit and judge, that's the most you'll ever get

To the ones who thought they left me for dead (for dead)

If you doubt me, put the crown back on my head

And leave me where you found me

And I won't fall, I'm not gonna die here

There's so much I can take, I don't wanna die here

Let 'em know, I'm comin' home

Return to the throne

(Let 'em know, I'm comin' home)

(Return to the throne)

Let 'em know, I'm comin' home

Return to the throne
