"Crown of Ashes

*[Intro: Gentle piano keys, slow heartbeat bass, dragon wings flapping faintly]
> (soft, confident, low voice)
Yeah...
They said I'd fall, huh?
Nah...
I was just learning how to fly.
---
*[Verse 1: Smooth melodic rap, emotional but proud]
> Raised in the wreckage, crowned in the dust,
They doubted the flame, but the flame woke up.
Carved from the void, made from the scars,
Built my own throne from the pieces of stars.
> Ain’t no king they could hand me, nah,
Took my place, they couldn’t plan me, nah,
Dragon wings when I'm runnin' the sky,
World on my back, but I still fly high.
---
*[Pre-Chorus: Emotional build-up, light background choir sounds, his voice getting stronger]
> All of the nights I fought alone,
All of the dreams they said were gone,
Made me a beast they can't control —
Now watch me take it all.
---
*[Chorus: Big, flowing, melodic — you feel the pride, the sadness, the greatness]
> I got a crown of ashes, but I wear it proud,
Turned every tear to fire, ain’t no falling down,
Dragonblood in my soul, ain't no backing out,
This world is mine now — scream it loud!
> Crown of ashes... I made it shine...
Crown of ashes... but it’s all mine...
---
*[Verse 2: Stronger delivery, a little faster, but still melodic — showing how far he's come]
> Legends ain't born, we break through the graves,
Made my own army from battles and pain,
Look in my eyes — you can see all the flames,
I don’t need mercy, I came for the reign.
> World tried to drown me, but I never sank,
Dreamed too big, now I'm breakin' the bank,
From the bottom to the skies I claim,
Black dragon king — remember the name.
---
*[Pre-Chorus Repeat — but now with a roaring crowd sound in the background — like the world finally realizing Jericho can't be stopped]
---
*[Chorus Repeat — even bigger, soaring strings and piano under the trap beat — TOTAL FINAL FORM ENERGY]
---
*[Outro: Fading out, soft piano again, like a king looking over his world from a mountain peak]
> (soft, proud whisper)
This crown... it’s mine...
(dragon roar fades into the stars)
