‏‎THRONE - Intellectual

Verse 1:

You don’t fear this throne

My god

And may i promise you

You will

Say that you’ll come down

Now

But you don’t hold that crown

It holds you

So say that you’ll let go

You won’t

In this throne, you see power

But it’s a prison

Verse 2:

Try to keep it straight

I done stayed inside for days

Trapped inside these 808’s

Tryna not to fade away

I cannot go back that way

Oh and by the way

They just see through a peephole

A leader bleed for his people

What it do mean to be peaceful

Don’t know a steeple is lethal

Because it’s equal to needles

I been needing my people

Im used to being the needed

Because cathedral’s deceitful, woah

What do you do they be asking you the plan and

You don’t got one

What do you do when they be blaming you because you are the one holding

The shotgun

And you ain’t caught none

And now i’m fucked up, and the love’s up

If you don’t come through once then i no longer trust ya

Bitch that’s fucked up, they want me fucked up

They expecting bloodlust, and power’s not my friend

Bridge:

Powers not my friend

Verse 4:

Born with nature of a vagabond

With the duties of a prince and a path that’s drawn

Was my fate predetermined?

Or forged by a serpent, leading me to purge like vermin

Im not searching for no fortune, just the tools to living freely

Once i’m at the helm, i know my family fucking needs me

My bully’s scars reborn onto my skin, it burned again

I been on mend, tryna refuse meds and it’s because of him

Scared to spend the money that my uncle left me

Scared of sickness fucking since my uncle left me

My uncle’s ghost reflects my fathers taller shadow

I was lost and found him when he grabbed me from a battle

I was frightened of his visage as he pulled me to the side

With a gleam inside eyes you swore couldn’t tell a lie

He pulled me close, a grip that begged me, “listen”

My ears were open, with my body language fucking mincing

He said, “my rule was far from being perfect”

As he spoke, i lost his eyes while i was searching

He said, “my rule was even further from the absolute”

So i asked the truth because it is a habit to

“what if i can’t do it?” the question i’ve asked obsessively

He said, “your duty is not to fulfill my legacy”

“your duty’s not only to serve your kin and start a home”

“you must to take these tools of my legacy and go carve you own”

So i carve my own

Just to burn it down

Burn it down

Outro:

Do you know now why i can’t go back now?

My fort is crumbling
