Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Cold floor Gold dreams on the mattress I was eating from the same pot Now we talking about a palace Bare feet On broken glass habits Every step that I bled on Turned red carpets in the banquet They laughed When I mapped out planets Said, “You? You ain’t built for that canvas” Now they scroll through the highlights frantic Trying to study every move like a campus Candle in a blackout, that was me Writing in the margins I was never meant to read Had to turn the doubt to a doctrine Now the whole world quoting my problems as options (yeah) [Chorus] I built a throne in the ashes (throne in the ashes) Turned every cut to a crown on my head (on my head) They tried to bury my name under granite and matches I came alive from the fire they fed I got a war in my chest like a drumline Heart still marching ahead I built a throne in the ashes, the battle is pastime Long as I breathe, I’m never dead [Verse 2] Look Storm hit, I was out in the open Face numb, but the heart still smoking Hands up, I was fighting my shadow Every fear that I had got broken Tears on the contract, stains on the page Had to sign with the sweat of my rage Every “no” was a nail in the cage ’Til I snapped those bars and I walked off the stage (hey!) Now it’s banners from the rafters Name carved deep in the rafters Same kid talking back to the pastor Now I’m preaching to the pain of the masses Mama praying in a language I don’t know But I feel every syllable push my soul If the sky fall, I’ma stand in the smoke ’Cause I was born from it, I don’t choke [Chorus] I built a throne in the ashes (throne in the ashes) Turned every cut to a crown on my head (on my head) They tried to bury my name under granite and matches I came alive from the fire they fed I got a war in my chest like a drumline Heart still marching ahead I built a throne in the ashes, the battle is pastime Long as I breathe, I’m never dead [Bridge] Yeah Line up the giants, I’ll face ’em all I was never meant to be small If I fall, I fall like a monument Crack the earth when I crawl Every scar is a banner I wave Every loss is a digit I save Add it up, I was built for the weight If it’s fate, then I’m bending the fate [Chorus] I built a throne in the ashes (throne in the ashes) Turned every cut to a crown on my head (on my head) They tried to bury my name under granite and matches I came alive from the fire they fed I got a war in my chest like a drumline Heart still marching ahead I built a throne in the ashes, the battle is pastime Long as I breathe, I’m never dead (never dead)
