Ranking of Kings

[Verse 1]
Really had to flip the script up on 'em
Fix the system, got 'em pissed this kid's
In front of everybody that would think I'm Sisyphus when
Pushing every blockade to the side to hit that mythic summit
Yeah, slow it down, the whole tone shift when I roll into town
Not the most vocal, so how ironic that I would be known for my sound
Yeah, my role was profound, born to be something I knew it since way back
But nothing come naturally, you're probably hearing the twentieth take on the playback
This shit's a grind, every day tryna find me a hit in a haystack
But I keep on writing, so I can look back on the catalogue proud that I made that
Thеy tryna keep me in boxes like I'm moving towns up in Animal Crossing
But thеy can keep counting their losses, raising the bar, we been crossing the octaves
Now they been tryna come press me, I'm used to the flac like my audio lossless
I do shit ten others couldn't, I'm moving big numbers, I'm really on boss shit
Uh, go mode, step to the king, you get minimilised like a logo
We can't go blow for blow, you'd go comatose in my zone, bro
I can still score while they're shifting the goal post, having y'all fly as a dodo
Don't give a fuck 'bout your postcode, still bring the gold home, fuck a collective, I'm solo
Came from the bottom, now I'm really up at the top of the ranking of kings
Spent every penny I made just to get here, finally banking my wins
How does he do it? Thought he was muted, I can not act on a whim
Came from the bottom, now I'm really up at the top of the ranking of kings
Look, I'm never flawless
But I'm working on showing my flaws less
Fall to the floor less
If I'm outta the saddle I'm climbing back up on our horses
This is how lords live
Folks are in love with the things I've recorded
And I'm honoured, but honest
The pressure comes on like a corset
And I can't afford it to break under pressure when people are looking to me
Bet if they're scoping my spot, then I'm giving them something to see
Cause I am unbreakable, I am unstoppable, I am the power they're trying to reach
Became an animal, I am infallible, I do not know what I'm trying to be

[Verse 2]
What if this strength of mine fades stoking the fire in the furnace
How can I keep up the pace, who could I face, what was I worth in the first place
What if this kingdom falls? Who wears the crown of a king in abandoned halls?
Who waves the banner when all that, it stands for has burned or crumbled and died in the war?
How could I lead with so much doubt? When everybody expects much more
I know people want me shout out, they keep running and I just crawl
I just crawl along on my face, Mitsumata, y'all fucked up snakes
Not my father, I can't move stars, but I'm reaching farther than his mistakes
Nah, they don't know how much this shit takes
I'm not Kage, I'll ditch this shade, Bojji, I will not be dismayed
Bojji, I will never turn my back, these days are rough, but I'm gon hit back
Wasn't tough enough, wasn't good enough, I just hope this love stays intact
I was pushed to the bottom, just an obstacle they'd skip past
Now I know they've forgotten, but I'll show them all my impact
Before I show them, I'll show myself, mental strain and I don't feel well
Up at night and I'm in my mind, I find thoughts of mine that I fight like hell
Truth is sometimes I don't know who can help
Gave it all just to get here, if it's meant to be, time will tell
Came from the bottom, now I'm really up at the top of the ranking of kings
Spent every penny I made just to get here, finally banking my wins
