in conclusion

**[Verse 1]**  
The further I drift, the quicker I slip, I'm grippin' this weight but my fingers gone rip /  
Sin in my vision, it's flickerin' quick, like a candle in wind, I been whisperin' scripts /  
Forgot to repent when I ran in the mist, but my shadow still follow, it’s tethered to this /  
Told ‘em I’m stoppin’, but demons insist, so I wrestle ‘em daily, no tappin’ my wrist /  
My grind ain't logical—odds was impossible, still took a loss and I flipped it to obstacles /  
Made ‘em my launch, now I’m spittin’ these chronicles, came from the gutter, but now it’s methodical /  
Turned every table, I’m shufflin’ decks, dealt with the worst, now I double my bets /  
I was enslaved but I cut through the chains, now the weight on my neck just a couple of VVS /  

**[Chorus/Hook]**  
I spent most my life just stuck / (Yeah) /  
Now ask me if I give a fuck / (Nah) /  
Not even one, not even none /  
Aimin’ for the throne but I ain't need to be the biggest one /  

**[Verse 2]**  
Pressure been breakin’ my bones, I adapted, never let gravity snap ‘em in fractions /  
Pain made me savage, I crafted my path from the rubble of past that they laughed at and trashed in /  
Stuck in the deep where the devils was creepin’, I wrestled my demons, no rest for the weakened /  
Gambled my breath when I bet on the reaper, but Christ had a plan that was etched in the ether /  
Now I’m aligned but the war never cease, got a sword in my spirit, my flesh ain't at peace /  
World tried to shatter my soul into pieces, but I took the fragments and sharpened the speech /  
Cuttin' through doubt like a scalpel through skin, I been carvin’ my faith in the walls of my sin /  
You can’t drown a man who done bathed in the flood, I been deep in the storm, now I'm brewin’ my win /  

**[Chorus/Hook]**  
I spent most my life just stuck / (Yeah) /  
Now ask me if I give a fuck / (Nah) /  
Not even one, not even none /  
Aimin’ for the throne but I ain't need to be the biggest one /  

**[Verse 3]**  
They doubted my vision, they told me I'd fall, now I build pyramids with the bricks of my scars /  
Built from the struggle, I live what I talk, every bar that I drop got the scent of the war /  
Mission impossible, turned to a gospel, I carry my cross through the fire, colossal /  
Hurdles was taller than towers in Gotham, but God was my anchor when life tried to rock ‘em /  
Every betrayal just sharpened my mind, no Judas alive finna fracture my spine /  
They said I was doomed but they watchin’ me rise, resurrection been real, I got proof in my eyes /  
Wrote out my past in the ink of my blood, I been chiseled in pain, I got strength in my cuts /  
The further I ran, the faster He pulled, so now every verse is a lesson in trust /  

**[Bridge]**  
I seen the darkness, I swam in the flood /  
Still got my scars but I bathed in His love /  
I been through trials, I know what it does /  
I broke out the chains and I never gave up /  

**[Verse 4]**  
I ain't tryna be the biggest, I just wanna be the realest /  
Scriptin’ every bar with lyrics carved inside my spirit /  
Took a thousand Ls but never lost the war within it /  
Blood up on my hands but still He let me keep my image /  
Man, I shoulda been dead, but His grace had a mission /  
Told me every sin I did was buried and forgiven /  
Walkin’ through the valley but the Shepherd stay my witness /  
All that pain and pressure turned a peasant to a bishop /  
Now I move different, no stutter in steps /  
Used to be blind, now I function with depth /  
Covered in grace but I’m rugged with breath /  
Came from the grave and I cut through the death /  

**[Outro]**  
The further I ran, the closer He stood /  
I ain’t deserve it, but still, He was good /  
This ain't for the fame, this ain't for the name /  
I just wanna speak for the ones in the flames...
