i carry the mantle~

Yeah New era, new focus They passed the weight, but I locked in Let's go **(Verse 1)** Shoulderin' the blueprint, feel the elevation pressure They handed over keys, now every single move's a measure Steppin' in the footprints of the ones who paved the road before Harder than it looks when you're the one who has to hold the door Got the vision locked, yeah, I'm stickin' to the grind now They gave me the crown, it's my turn to redefine now This ain't just weight, it's the cost of gettin' better Fulfillin' the legacy, writin' a whole new letter No room for hesitation when the title gets assigned You either shrink away, or leave your signature behind **(Chorus)** Yeah, I got the mantle now, carryin' the heavy load Pushed into the fire, built my armor for the road They said it takes a lifetime just to step into the shoes I laced 'em up with purpose and I got no time to lose Yeah, I'm carryin' the mantle now (Carryin' the mantle now...) **(Verse 2)** It's a midnight oil, it's the shadows in the room It's the quiet before the storm, it's the silence in the boom They only see the glory, never see the calloused hands Tryna build an empire out of shifting, moving sands You think you want the throne until the temperature gets high Until you gotta answer every question in the sky It’s a generational torch, I ain't droppin' the spark Gotta be the light when you're walkin' through the dark No shortcuts, no safety net, just grit and dedication I'm wearin' out the fabric of the path to elevation **(Chorus)** Yeah, I got the mantle now, carryin' the heavy load Pushed into the fire, built my armor for the road They said it takes a lifetime just to step into the shoes I laced 'em up with purpose and I got no time to lose Yeah, I'm carryin' the mantle now (Carryin' the mantle now...) **(Bridge)** They passed it down I stepped right up Filled the cup Filled it up It’s heavy on the shoulders, but the posture never bends This ain't just a chapter, man, this sets up all the trends **(Outro)** Yeah Carrying the mantle No looking back now We built for this
