BACK

Hook Yeah, sorry it took me a minute, I was lost in the maze But the king back home, crown sittin’ proper in place I was down, never out, had to reload the clip Now the pen fully charged and I’m back on my grit Verse I ghosted the scene, left the mic in the cold Demons was loud, had my soul in a choke Life threw some haymakers, I ate every blow Took a knee for a second, but never let go I was broke in the spirit, pockets matchin’ the pain Turned the dark to a canvas, let the blood be the paint Every scar got a story, every tear got a bar Now I’m back like I never left, raised the level by far They thought I was finished, wrote me off with the pen Funny how silence sound loud when you plottin’ revenge I ain’t come for the fame, I came back for the throne Took the long way home, but I’m right where I belong Apology accepted? Nah, I don’t need the grace Just a beat and a booth, watch me murder the stage Delayed, never dead—feel the pulse in my veins Tell ‘em sorry for the wait, now the storm bringin’ rain Hook (repeat) Sorry it took me a minute, I was lost in the maze But the king back home, crown sittin’ proper in place I was down, never out, had to reload the clip Now the pen fully charged and I’m back on my grit Verse 2 I heard the whispers, “He fell off, he done” Same mouths went quiet when the comeback begun I was cookin’ in silence, no posts, no crumbs Turned the pain to a potion, now the beast overcome They was streamin’ my old shit, still payin’ the rent Didn’t know I was loadin’ a brand-new percent Battery was on zero, now it’s redlin’ the gauge Every loss was a lesson, every L was a page I ain’t rushin’ the process, I was sharpenin’ blades Turned the wait into weight, now the muscle engraved Mama prayed through the nights that her son wouldn’t fold I just smiled in the mirror like, “Watch what I hold” Now the city feel the tremor when I step on the stage Every bar got a vendetta, every line is a cage Sorry for the delay, had to bury the doubt Now I’m back like a phoenix with the fire in my mouth Hook (one last time, hit ‘em harder) Yeah, sorry it took me a minute, I was lost in the maze But the king back home, crown sittin’ proper in place I was down, never out, had to reload the clip Now the pen fully charged and I’m back on my grit
