Lesser Man

Verse 1)  
You wore the crown of borrowed pride  
Built your throne on others’ lives  
Spoke in tongues of hollow grace  
But every word was a slap to the face  

(Pre-Chorus)  
I saw through the smoke and gold  
Your empire’s just a lie retold  

(Chorus)  
You’re the lesser man, dressed up in fear  
A shadow king, nowhere near  
I won’t kneel, I won’t obey  
Your name will fade, mine will stay  

(Verse 2)  
You stitched your suit with stolen thread  
Fed on dreams the broken bled  
Played the saint with bloodstained hands  
But truth won’t bow to your demands  

(Bridge)  
I carved my scars into stone  
Built my strength from being alone  
You tried to break what you can’t command  
But I’m not yours—I never am  

(Final Chorus)  
You’re the lesser man, masked in control  
A paper god with no soul  
I rise from ash, I spit your brand  
You’ll never crush what you don’t understand  
You’re the lesser man…  
And I’m the storm you can’t withstand
