Master in the Middle

Intro

Yeah...

Tank doors openin'...

Lights cut low...

You thought you knew the hierarchy...

Listen.

Verse 1

Came through the gates with the West on my back

New soil under boots, no lookin' back

They lined up the tests, loyalty and weight

I passed every trial, never once ran late

Thought I was risin' under captains and crowns

Thought the chain of command stopped at the ones around

Handshakes firm, formation tight

I earned my place in the middle of the night

Chorus

Welcome to the Tank, this the real induction

Not the surface welcome, this the deep construction

Soldiers in formation, engines in the dark

You just got invited to the permanent mark

Welcome to the Tank, where the rules get set

By the one who moves pieces you ain't met yet

Night lights on the armor, steel don't bend

This ain't temporary... this the end.

Verse 2

They showed me the codes, the routes, the plan

Put weight in my hands like I was just another man

I moved with precision, never asked twice

Thought the top of the unit was the highest price

But the air got heavier when the ceremony peaked

Every soldier locked in, nobody speak

Then the formation parted and the truth stepped through

The one who built the whole thing was standin' in view

Chorus

Welcome to the Tank, this the real induction

Not the surface welcome, this the deep construction

Soldiers in formation, engines in the dark

You just got invited to the permanent mark

Welcome to the Tank, where the rules get set

By the one who moves pieces you ain't met yet

Night lights on the armor, steel don't bend

This ain't temporary... this the end.

Bridge – The Twist

Ricks Ya Rula... the Master... the Mob Boss

Unseen hand the whole time, never took a loss

Every test was calculated, every door was staged

The tank, the soldiers, the territory... pre-arranged

He didn't just approve it... he designed the climb

Now the new blood stands in front of the higher mind

Final Chorus / Outro

Welcome to the Tank... acknowledged by the Master

Ricks Ya Rula at the center, nothin' movein' faster

Unit in formation, alliance locked and sealed

The welcome wasn't random... it was always real

Tank rollin' forward under night-light glow

Master in the middle... now you know.
