Blood toll

**(Intro - Deep, resonant synth with a driving 808)**  
Yo! The King is back, in a suit like a Mafioso,  
Dictating the lines, friendship is an expensive gamble, yo!  
Check the paycheck, because loyalty has its price,  
In this world where everyone feeds on success.  
**(Verse 1)**  
Friendship? A concept as unstable as a house of cards,  
Built on lies, intrigues, a damn mess.  
Most call it "connection," using you without regret,  
Until you’re on the ground, abandoned, filled with cold dread.  
I speak plainly, no filter, I’m the CEO,  
Redefining friendship as a business deal, for sure.  
Because empathy is weakness in this shark tank,  
Where everyone thinks only of themselves, hiding to stay safe.  
So scrutinize your "friends" closely, their motives are murky,  
They want your capital, your reputation, your turf, they’re greedy!  
I’m building my empire on facts, not sympathy,  
Who serves me, gets their reward, that’s the philosophy.  
**(Chorus - More aggressive, layered vocals with ad-libs)**   
Blood toll! Friendship demands a blood toll!  
Loyalty is gold, but betrayal is the poison you swallow, full!  
Blood toll! For those who swear loyalty to me,   
Stand by my side until the last coals glow, crackle, and disturb!  
Yeah! Blood toll!  
**(Verse 2)**  
I remember the times when I was broke, living on the edge,  
Where were your "friends" in the warm refuge?  
Now that the Rolls-Royce is parked, and the villas flaunt,  
They crawl back with damned, false faces!  
But I'm immune to their flattery, their feigned sorrow,  
I learned to recognize the masks since childhood.  
Because true friendship is rare, like a diamond, pure and clear,  
Hidden under rubble, uncut, incredibly rare.  
I have my crew, loyal warriors, ready for the fight,  
We’re a unit, invincible, in the darkness.  
No room for softies, for traitors, for character swines,  
We’ll push through to the bitter end, all alone!  
**(Chorus - Even more aggressive, echoes and vocal effects)**  
Blood toll! Friendship demands a blood toll!  
Loyalty is gold, but betrayal is the poison you swallow, full!  
Blood toll! For those who swear loyalty to me,  
Stand by my side until the last coals glow, crackle, and disturb!  
Yeah! Blood toll!  
**(Bridge - Slightly more melodic, almost introspective, but still forceful)**  
Maybe I’m cynical, maybe I’m cold,  
But experience has taught me, the truth is ancient.  
Trust only yourself, and your closest crew,  
Because in this world of hyenas, you’ll otherwise be… lost!  
**(Chorus - Final, powerful rendition)**  
Blood toll! Friendship demands a blood toll!  
Loyalty is gold, but betrayal is the poison you swallow, full!  
Blood toll! For those who swear loyalty to me,  
Stand by my side until the last coals glow, crackle, and disturb!  
Yeah! Blood toll!  
**(Outro - Synth fades out with a final, echoing "Blood toll!")**
