[Intro] Echoes of a restless past, shadows that never fade In the silence of my memories, I'm calling out your name From the corners of the streets, to the heights I crave This is the story of a king who rose from the damned and brave [Verse 1] Grew up in the shadows, under broken skies A foster home of chaos, where kindness often dies My foster mom's warm tears were my only light Taught me love and respect, in the darkness of the night But I fell into the wrong, where temptation sings Started building an empire with forbidden things A gang at twelve, young and reckless, feeling alive By fourteen, the city’s laws couldn’t keep us inside [Pre-Chorus] With power in our hands, we owned the night Living fast, no regrets in sight Fighting demons, chasing dreams Caught in the magic, or so it seems [Chorus] From the streets to the high life, I’ve seen it all Rising from the shadows, breaking every wall Hustle, struggle, and strife, but I still stand tall This is my story, I answer the call [Verse 2] Secrets in the darkness, a chain of magic's hold Girls, cars, money, stories never told Police, danger, love, and fear Fighting to keep everything near But every empire has its fall, every night turns to dawn Lessons learned too late, lost innocence gone Now I look back, and I see the price I paid A king of the streets, in a world I made [Pre-Chorus] With power in our hands, we owned the night Living fast, no regrets in sight Fighting demons, chasing dreams Caught in the magic, or so it seems [Chorus] From the streets to the high life, I’ve seen it all Rising from the shadows, breaking every wall Hustle, struggle, and strife, but I still stand tall This is my story, I answer the call [Bridge] Can’t forget the love that held me tight In a world gone dark, she was my guiding light Through the chaos, through the pain Her courage kept me sane Now I’m standing here, old scars remain But I carry her love in every refrain [Outro] Echoes of a restless past, but I’ve found my way From shadows to the dawn, into the light of day The battles fought, the risks I took Are lessons in every chapter, in every nook This is the story of a king reborn From the night, into the dawn [Powerpop Anthem, energetic with electric guitars, driving drums, and soulful vocals]
