Lyrics

intro

LALALA

OOOOH

LALALA OOOOO

Verse 1

The concrete cracked and let the lotus rise up through the gray

I’m counting blessings while the vultures circle for the pay

A poet’s heart inside a titan, moving through the mist

I turned the struggle into art, the trauma into bliss

I saw the ceiling and I broke it, now I see the stars

Still got the memories of sirens and the metal bars

But now the ledger’s looking heavy, legacy is pure

I found the medicine for everything we had to endure.

Chorus

From the corner to the palace, from the lyric to the loan

I built a kingdom out of whispers on a rented throne

The vision’s panoramic, I can see the whole design

The spirit of a martyr with a mogul’s state of mind.

Verse 2

The ink is dripping like the sweat upon a worker’s brow

I didn’t do it for the fame, I did it for the "how"

How to elevate the village, how to break the cycle’s chain

How to find the sunshine in the middle of the rain

I’m a scholar of the hustle, a professor of the street

The pulse of every city is the rhythm in my feet

I don’t need a spotlight just to show you where I stand

I’m the shadow of a giant moving across the land.

Outro

Read between the lines and you might find the hidden key

The evolution of a soul is all I came to see

No introduction needed when the work speaks for the soul

I’m just the hand that’s writing while the planets start to roll.
