Thrones

(Album: Remains - 2019)

You say I'm saving your life every time it's pouring
I'm okay with it, thank you; don't crown me for it
Yeah, I'm driving a foreign, still paying for it
Broke down again, my drive kept me going
Yeah, I hear the whispers, yeah, I hear the talks
If I give it up, I'll give it all to God
Have a lot to clean, I'm messing up a lot
If it doesn't break you, you're not at the top

I can tell you now, I've been feeling fine
I'm just focused on the grind, yeah
Everybody gonna come and go, yeah, happens all the time
No more playing these games
No more playing these games
Look how far we all came
All I gotta say is
You ain't bringing me down, you ain't bringing me down
You ain't bringing me down, you ain't bringing me down
You ain't bringing me down, you ain't bringing me down
I see the moment, yeah, I need it now
All I gotta say is, all I gotta say is, you ain't bringing me down

Yeah, I've elevated to a higher level
The stomach flu in this industry—I'ma never settle
I pop, in a couple of minutes I need me a sponsor 'bout kettle
You ain't real if you got a Geppetto
Say I'm surrounded by competition but it seems like I'm running through meadows, agh!
They run them out when they got nothing to talk about
Look in the mirror, like how could they stop me now?
Looked up to Heaven, forgot what I'm crying 'bout
I don't take answers from people who give me doubts
Used to be scared what they thought when they listened
The shots that they gave me gave me ammunition
Passing the limits, we dogs among kins
See what they can't see, we call that a vision
Same team, same fit when I roll out
You didn't want me back then, what you want now?
You can buy the kicks, can you ball out?
I'ma run the game 'til you see me crawl out
Used to wish upon a star
'Til I decided to be one, the moment I need one
It's not what's been done before but what you overcome
What do you wanna become?

I can tell you now, I've been feeling fine
I'm just focused on the grind, yeah
Everybody gonna come and go, yeah, happens all the time
No more playing these games
No more playing these games
Look how far we all came
All I gotta say is
You ain't bringing me down, you ain't bringing me down
You ain't bringing me down, you ain't bringing me down
You ain't bringing me down, you ain't bringing me down
I see the moment, yeah, I need it now
All I gotta say is, all I gotta say is, you ain't bringing me down

This is tough on the mind but I'm built for the task
Like, who goes to the gym not expecting to sweat?
Who steps on the court that's afraid of the net?
Who lives for a dream just to be like the rest?
Answers don't come if you're taking a guess
Work 'til there's nothing left, I want another set
If you're still standing there, you're not tired yet
Oh yeah, I feel it now
The lights are getting brighter, I hear the crowd
I hear the drums, your heart's beating loud
You got the moment, can you make 'em proud?
Everybody said it wasn't possible
Everybody never saw this coming
Never stop, now I feel unstoppable
Taking shots, honey season's coming
I don't need no one to give me a crown
I don't need no one to build me a throne
I don't believe you're a king of anything if you're not the one who built it his own
Same style, same casts
Coming quick, news flash (Coming for)
Prime time, game time
Bright lights, new heights
I'ma build my throne

I can tell you now (Yeah!), I've been feeling fine
I'm just focused on the grind, yeah (Yeah!)
Everybody gonna come and go, yeah, happens all the time
No more playing these games (Woo!)
No more playing these games (Yeah!)
Look how far we all came (Yeah!)
(Look how far we came, look how far we came!)
All I gotta say is
You ain't bringing me down, you ain't bringing me down
You ain't bringing me down (No!), you ain't bringing me down
You ain't bringing me down, you ain't bringing me down
I see the moment, yeah, I need it now (Woo!)
(I see the moment, yeah, I need it now)
All I gotta say is, you ain't bringing me down
