King on My Own

Pre-Intro

Storms in my soul, I been weatherin' pain

Born in the struggle, learned the rules of the game

Tunnel vision grind, every scar got a reason

Lessons from the street, make me cold through the seasons

Intro

I remember way back, now I'm prepared for the pay backs

Like they always hate facts

Intro

I remember way back, now I'm prepared for the pay backs

Like they always hate facts

Verse 1

I remember way back, cold nights in the trap

Hustlin' hard, no sleep, just a dream on the map

Runnin' from the past, shadows lurkin' in the dark

Now I'm countin' stacks, got the fire, spark the arc

Blood on my hands, but I wear it like a badge

Survivin' every storm, ain't no time for the sad

Used to be broke, now I'm stackin' up the paper

Enemies lurk, but I’m the predator, the taper

Chorus

Way back, way back, can’t forget what they lack

Prepared for the pay back, never cut me no slack

Way back, way back, only real with the facts

Now I’m ready, no regret, put my city on the map

Verse 2

Eyes on the prize, yeah, I’m ready for the game

Turned my pain to power, never lookin' the same

Lessons from the streets, they engraved in my mind

Now I’m movin' with a purpose, leave the past behind

Dark thoughts in my head, but I’m chasin' the light

Prepared for the pay, yeah, I'm ready to fight

From the bottom to the top, now I’m claimin' my throne

In a world full of wolves, I’m the king on my own

Chorus

Way back, way back, can’t forget what they lack

Prepared for the pay back, never cut me no slack

Way back, way back, only real with the facts

Now I’m ready, no regret, put my city on the map

Verse 3

Snakes in the grass, learned to move with precision

Cold steel in my soul, no escape from decisions

Did dirt for the bread, but my hunger ain't fed

Took losses in silence, only talkin' with lead

Still ridin' solo, can't trust what they say

Seen loyalty shatter in the heat of the day

Grinding for the future, every dollar a stake

Betrayal's a teacher, now I'm wide awake

Chorus

Way back, way back, can’t forget what they lack

Prepared for the pay back, never cut me no slack

Way back, way back, only real with the facts

Now I’m ready, no regret, put my city on the map
