Kings Without Crowns

——————————————————

Lyrics:

Built the palace brick by brick, bare hands in the dirt,
From the shadows where the wolves lurk, cold as the earth.
No throne, just a seat at the table I carved,
Dreams sharper than the blade, cut deep, left scars.

They laughed when I started, now they study the blueprints,
Maps I drew in my mind, now the world is my influence.
Ropes they tied became bridges I crossed,
Turned their doubts to the fire that defrosts the frost.

Royal with no jewels, empire with no throne,
Scepters made of hustle, crowns carved from stone.

We are kings without crowns, rulers of the lost and found,
Built an empire underground, now we wear the sound.
No validation, no applause, no need for the clout,
We are kings without crowns, kings without doubt.

Every scar’s a medal, every fall a lesson,
Turned my wounds into wisdom, my pain into blessings.
They said I’d never make it, I’m a myth they misread,
Now my name rings out like a church bell’s dread.

Gold in my spirit, no chain on my neck,
Rich off the respect that no bank can collect.
I’m the architect of dreams they said I’d never build,
Skyscrapers in my mind, reached higher, stayed real.
