The Debt You Never Paid

Intro

Mm

Yeah

Mm-hmm

(Oba)

Verse 1

Crown came off the shelf

I never asked for permission

Ten thousand voices cheer my name

Now they flinch at my decision

I built a temple out of patience

Brick by brutal brick

Then tore the roof off with my bare hands

Just to hear the silence click

Pre-Chorus

So call me monster

Call me throne

Call me everything you feared

I'm not the man you carried here

Chorus

Bow down

Bow down

I am the weight you cannot lift

Bow down

Bow down

I take the gift and keep the shift

No crown no cage no chain no king

Just a giant learning how to swing

Drop

Bow down

Bow down

Verse 2

Femi

Say it like a warning

Say it like a storm arriving late

I was patient I was loyal

Now I'm patient with the hate

Every handshake was a ledger

Every smile a debt I kept

Collect the whole arena

While the faithful wept

Pre-Chorus

So call me tyrant

Call me grave

Call me everything you made

I am the debt you never paid

Chorus

Bow down

Bow down

I am the weight you cannot lift

Bow down

Bow down

I take the gift and keep the shift

No crown no cage no chain no king

Just a giant learning how to swing

Post-Chorus

Down down down

Down down down

Bridge

(Monster) Monster

(Monster) Monster

I don't need the light to see

(Monster) Monster

(Monster) Monster

The ring belongs to me

Breakdown

Fall

Fall

Fall

I am the end of the fall

Verse 3

They want the old me back

The gentle giant kind

But giants don't get gentle

When the gentle's left behind

I am thunder in a body

I am mountain made of rage

Write my name across the ceiling

Of a broken golden age

Chorus

Bow down

Bow down

I am the weight you cannot lift

Bow down

Bow down

I take the gift and keep the shift

No crown no cage no chain no king

Just a giant learning how to swing

Post-Chorus

Down down down

Down down down
