This is the 1st track from The Royalty EP. This song details me when I just entered the depressive slump that was caused by the events at the old house I was living in. In this state I did not feel like living life so I decided to put how I feel into song format, I do make innuendos to what happened...
[Verse 1]
There once was a boy who had dreams of simple wealth
Who had the drive to fight but was terrified of himself
Cause in him lie a darkness from former pain that was dealt
But to truly master life he must learn to master himself
And so begins the tale of the will of this child
Day by day the universe is just putting him through these trials
Powering through the hate and the doubt.. while all the while
Fighting friends and family and seeing the fake smiles
Out of options and he don’t know where to turn cause from the love there's an underlying burn
In the inside he is always feeling hurt: a simple outlet for his anger what he yearns
He finds a notebook that can kill with simple words, a dark concept but ay whatever works
He gets to writing slowly mastering his work, leaving all he deems unworthy in the dirt
After all... they all betrayed him, after all... they're the ones he hated
But after everything he realized that his revenge only made him jaded
But through the book and through the pen, he can find a easy way to lash out
Forging on through life… looking in the sky as he shouts out:
[Chorus]
I will not fall... I will not fall
I will not fall... only stand tall
I will not fall... I will not fall
Only stand tall... only stand tall
Pray that no one try me, got my death note beside me (huh)
Even when the odds are against me, they will not drop me (yuh)
One against the world but no matter what I'll stand mighty (huh)
No one will stop me (uh) I am the Kami (uh)
[Verse 2]
Slowly but surely that child became a man
Now having to deal with even more issues since he began
Now with the experience garnered now he can withstand
The weight the world puts on his back, now he now has a plan
At the same time however the same darkness never settled
Only being put to bay until someone who dares to meddle
Unleashes his inner demons then fury pops up like a kettle
So he still trains his mind and his body to keep him leveled
Working, climbing daily, he still is fighting, found a hobby laced in his killer writing
Honed his talent: his words: now enticing, wealth getting closer it’s all ‘bout timing
Racing against time the end slowing rising, watching all the days flash by like lighting
Past friends, past foes all divided, drenched in the dark but is somehow shining
One against the world, that’s how it had to be...
Stuck in a war of thoughts and still could find his peace...
By now you can all probably see...
This person that I’m speaking of is me
[Chorus]
I will not fall... I will not fall
I will not fall... only stand tall
I will not fall... I will not fall
Only stand tall... only stand tall
Pray that no one try me, got my death note beside me (huh)
Even when the odds are against me, they will not drop me (yuh)
One against the world but no matter what I'll stand mighty (huh)
No one will stop me (uh) I am the Kami (uh)
