Legend of Dimes

Lil Dimes on the corner, jacket two sizes big

Mama countin' change in a jar, every dollar was a win

Notebook full of bars, wrote rhymes on a receipt

Turned the block into a stage, made the gravel his seat

Battles by the bus stop, he was eatin' up vets

Every punchline heavy, made 'em stumble, upset

They said, “Kid too raw, he gon' shake this town”

He said, “I ain't stoppin' 'til the globe hear the sound”

King Dimes, they carved his name in the sky

From the gutter to the gold, watch him rise, watch him rise

Greatest on earth, every verse like a crown

Then he vanished from the map, couldn't find him in the town

King Dimes, out the dark he appears

Came back, whole game froze in fear

From the dirt to the throne in his mind

Disappear, reappear, it's the legend of Dimes

First deal, bright lights, cameras in his face

Charts got shaken every time he dropped a tape

Whole world chantin' his name at the shows

He could make a stadium feel like one row

Then rumors started flyin'—“Yo, Dimes went ghost”

Last album like a comet, then silence, no post

No features, no sightings, just stories and myths

Kids point to old posters like, “He really exist?”

Some said he faded, some said he broke

Some said he walked away and left nothin' but quotes

But in a one-room flat, with the blinds pulled tight

He was sharpenin' his pen in the middle of the night

King Dimes, they carved his name in the sky

From the gutter to the gold, watch him rise, watch him rise

Greatest on earth, every verse like a crown

Then he vanished from the map, couldn't find him in the town

King Dimes, out the dark he appears

Came back, whole game froze in fear

From the dirt to the throne in his mind

Disappear, reappear, it's the legend of Dimes

One day, no warning, link dropped in a chat

“New track, no tag, who the hell rappin' like that?”

Every bar felt familiar, every cadence the same

Whole net in a frenzy like, “Yo, Dimes came again?”

He walked on stage at a show unannounced

Spotlight found him, crowd started to bounce

Rappers backstage lookin' shook, out of breath

He said, “I came back to collect what I left”

King Dimes, they carved his name in the sky

From the gutter to the gold, watch him rise, watch him rise

Greatest on earth, every verse like a crown

Disappeared, came back, now he run this town

King Dimes, every line is a sign

Took the game, took the pain, turned it all into shine

From the dirt to the throne in his mind

Disappear, reappear, it's the legend of DimesKing Dimes, yeah, they still say his name

Built from the block, then he came back changed

Disappear, reappear, forever in lights

Lil' Dimes to the world, now he own the night
