| [00:01.52] | I'm stainless |
| [00:02.18] | |
| [00:03.36] | Tethered by earth and flame |
| [00:04.63] | |
| [00:05.21] | Mixed with time and pain |
| [00:06.90] | Ingrained with higher purpose know the worth of my name |
| [00:10.60] | And the product I done came with |
| [00:12.06] | |
| [00:12.67] | Not blameless for the straps and the dope that I hold |
| [00:16.22] | The sacks that I sold |
| [00:17.71] | Kept my baby out the cold and her belly full of food |
| [00:20.48] | And her back never lacking of clothes |
| [00:22.39] | This game is so grimy it's impossible to win with your innocence intact |
| [00:27.00] | Matter of fact it deranges |
| [00:28.08] | |
| [00:28.64] | The person that you wanted to remain intrinsically changes |
| [00:31.53] | |
| [00:32.15] | We can actualize but our actual lives are affected by a hunger for sane-ness |
| [00:37.15] | In the back of our minds |
| [00:38.34] | Are the nastiest lines that a dope emcee never came with |
| [00:41.96] | Once we get tired of fakin' |
| [00:43.62] | Unchain the beast in the brain that awakens |
| [00:46.45] | See the clear path that I used to couldn't see |
| [00:48.98] | Be the kind of artist that I thought I couldn't be |
| [00:51.43] | Become that man that'd rather die standing |
| [00:53.80] | Than ever live head down bending a knee |
| [00:56.11] | So I purify my soul in the land of the fire |
| [00:59.71] | My sweat and my tears dull pain |
| [01:01.66] | And the blood that I leave on the battlefield proves |
| [01:04.17] | What I've always known |
| [01:05.53] | I was born to reign |
