Testo Throne

Watchin' for the voices, creepin' up soon as I'm down
The positive a whisper, getting lost inside a crowd
Fighting just to hear I gotta focus for it now
'Cause I know everybody there is just waiting to take me out and so I keep it movin'
Out of darkness, I still grew and had a second act
More beautiful when they thought I was finished blooming
Built from the ruins of a life I thought was ruined (What?)
But when you've got nothing left, that's the freedom that you need to lean into it (Yeah) See I've been fluent in that struggle talk from my inception (What?)
Went from the bottom to the top but kept the same perspective (What?)
So flaunt your money and your follows and your necklace
But if you ain't down to go without and chase a dream I'm not impressed with
Anything you do, I'm keeping it real when I'm up in the booth
You might've followed the things that I've done
But that doesn't mean you can walk in my shoes (Yeah)
So, please, excuse me while I kiss the sky (Why)
Don't talk the corny inspiration shit, I live an inspirational life
And even though I'm off the drugs
Trust that, I'm still an addict, I cannot get by without substance
I don't trust in anybody, I just go alone
Me and all my demons on this lonely road, yeah

Maybe I just feel this shit too much Maybe y'all are too afraid to be yourself for once
Sit and judge, that's the most you'll ever get
To the ones who thought they left me for dead (dead)

If you doubt me, put the crown back on my head
And leave me where you found me, and I won't fall
I'm not gonna die here, there's so much I can take
I don't wanna die here
Let 'em know, I'm coming home
Return to the throne

(Let 'em know, I'm coming home)
(Return to the throne)
(Let 'em know, I'm coming home)

Once upon a time, they told me I would never make it
They said you were only put here on this earth to entertain us
They stripped me of my title, now I'm coming to reclaim it
I plastered on a smile and got really good at faking
I did what I was told and stayed only to myself
Didn't tell a single soul that, I was planning to rebel
I slowly built an army from the wreckage and the dirt
And I taught 'em in this life - You gotta fight for yourself first
The old you has to die, let go of who you were
Collect all their belongings, light a match and watch it burn
Sever all the ties that are connected to your past
Step into your power, say a prayer and don't look back (don't look back)

Maybe I just feel this shit too much
Maybe y'all are too afraid to be yourself for once
Sit and judge, that's the most you'll ever get
To the ones who thought they left me for dead (for dead, left me for dead)

If you doubt me, put the crown back on my head
And leave me where you found me, and I won't fall
I'm not gonna die here, there's so much I can take
I don't wanna die here
Let 'em know, I'm coming home
Return to the throne

(Let 'em know, I'm coming home)
(Return to the throne)
Let 'em know, I'm coming home
