Lyrics
[verse]
Step up to the mirror, tell me who you claim to be
Talking loud in shadows but you never looked at me
I built this from the ground while you were borrowing a name
Now the whole block watching, watching you deflect the blame
You wear the crown of someone else's harder days
Copy every move but never learn the older ways
I ain't got to shout it, I just state it clean and cold
Every line's a receipt of the story you were told
[chorus]
Breathe it out, let the truth clear the air
Say your name and watch it disappear
No disguise, no crown, nothing left to wear
Just the echo of a king who was never there
[verse]
You could dress it up in diamonds, still the same old sound
Borrowed every color from the ones who put you down
I don't need the noise, I just need one clean shot
Every word lands heavier than everything you bought
This ain't for the cameras, this is for the record straight
History remembers who was real and who was late
Stand here in the open, nowhere left to hide
Every empire built on echoes crumbles from inside
[chorus]
Breathe it out, let the truth clear the air
Say your name and watch it disappear
No disguise, no crown, nothing left to wear
Just the echo of a king who was never there
[bridge]
No hate in my heart, just the facts on the floor
You wanted the throne, well, here's the open door
Walk through it alone, since that's how it began
Legacy's not given, it's earned by a man
[chorus]
Breathe it out, let the truth clear the air
Say your name and watch it disappear
No disguise, no crown, nothing left to wear
Just the echo of a king who was never there
