Blacktop Crown

I step out from the shadow with my head held high

Cinder on my boots, a lightning eye

Every scar on my skin says I paid my dues

Now the whole room leans when I wear these shoes

Hear that rumble, feel that floor

I came for the crown and I'm asking for more

No mercy in my posture, no fear in my face

I don't knock on the door

I take my place

I'm stepping into the light like a crowned challenger

Known in the room before the first bell rings

Hands up high when the dark gets louder

I was born to stand where the victory sings

I'm a name they remember

Too fierce to fold, too sharp to hide

Crown of my night and the night gets thinner

I walk in like thunder

I leave like pride

They came with the doubt, I came with the fire

Cold on my stare and a deeper desire

Steam in my lungs when I call my shot

I don't need luck for the war I brought

Hear that rumble

Feel that floor

I came for the crown

And I'm asking for more

No mercy in my posture

No fear in my face

I don't knock on the door

I take my place

I'm stepping into the light

Like a chrome challenger

All in the room before the first bell rings

When the fire gets louder

I was born to stand where the victory sings

Living in the light, I'm the name they remember

Too fierce to fall, too sharp to hide

Out of my sight and the light gets thinner

I won't get locked under

I leave like time

Let them shout, let them shade, I was built for the blade

If the floor turns to flame, I'll still spell out my name

I'm stepping in the light like a crown challenger

All in the room before the first bell rings

I'm stepping in the light

I, when the dark gets nighter

I was born to stand where the victory sings

Crowned and unbroken, I rise in the center

No one can use what the wild truth gives

I walk in like thunder, I live like forever

I'm the fire and the light

And the light is where I live
