Check the Crown

Yeah, uh

Yo, check the crown, ain't no diamonds, ain't no gold
Just scars and sweat, a story to be told
Built my own throne, climbed a mountain made of doubt
Stood on the peak, screamed, "Ain't no gods allowed!"
Ain't prayin' for nothin', ain't beggin' for no grace
My hustle's my temple, ambition sets the pace
Used to chase shadows, lookin' for a higher hand
Now I'm the sunlight, scorchin' across the land

So bow down to the king, ain't no pearly gates in sight
I carve my own destiny, write my future in the night
My will the chisel, my grind the stone so cold
Sculpted myself a god, in defiance I own you

Used to listen to preachers, hymns of sin and fear
But the only devil I see is the doubt in my ear
Silenced the serpents, drowned out the inner noise
Found my own hallelujah, victory in my choices
No holy water needed, I cleansed myself in fire
Burned away the weakness, forged a soul of higher
Ain't no angels watchin', ain't no demons to blame
My path's a battlefield, victory etched in my name

So bow down to the king, ain't no pearly gates in sight
I carve my own destiny, write my future in the night
My will the chisel, my grind the stone so cold
Sculpted myself a god, in defiance I own you

Don't need no savior, ain't waitin' for the end
My redemption's right here, a phoenix I ascend
From ashes of struggle, a legend takes its flight
No heaven or hell, just the fire in my light

So bow down to the king, ain't no pearly gates in sight
I carve my own destiny, write my future in the night
My will the chisel, my grind the stone so cold
Sculpted myself a god, in defiance I own you

Yeah, I'm my own god, ain't no need to kneel
My soul's the sanctuary, my spirit's made of steel
So walk your own path, find the fire in your eyes
Become your own legend, paint your own sunrise

Paint your own sunrise.

Check the crown.
