Lyrics: Liam Davis
Music: Liam Davis
They used to see the silence, thought the dog was in a cage
Now they see the crown, and they tremblin' with rage
I walked through all the fire, let the flames refine the steel
Every single scar I got, I promise you it's real
They can't afford the price on my soul, it's a King's Ransom.
I took back the control, now I'm standin' triumphant.
They thought that I was finished, but the fire's just been stoked.
Every word I'm spittin' now, yeah, it's heavier than smoke.
You see the ice, you see the gold, you see the final form
You didn't see the lonely nights, weathering the storm
The snare hit is a gunshot, the hi-hat is the rain
Washin' all the fakes away, and cleansin' all the pain
They can't afford the price on my soul, it's a King's Ransom.
I took back the control, now I'm standin' triumphant.
They thought that I was finished, but the fire's just been stoked.
Every word I'm spittin' now, yeah, it's heavier than smoke.
This the energy I carry. This the weight I hold.
This the story that they'll carry 'fore my body's cold.
From the bottom to the throne, had to do it on my own.
Now the synth sings my melody, and the 808's my home.
King's Ransom.
(Yuh!)
It's a King's Ransom.
(Grrr!)
Bow down.
...Collect your debt.
