Lyric

Building empires in the dark

Every shadow leaves a mark

Started from the bottom now they question my ascension

Every bar I spit designed with surgical precision

They been sleeping on my vision like it's just a proposition

But I turn pain into profit, call it lyrical transmission

Never needed validation from the masses or the critics

Built my throne from broken bones and all my past analytics

They say I'm too aggressive, but aggression pays the rent

Every syllable calculated, every word is heaven-sent

From the shadows to the spotlight, watch me dominate the scene

Turned my trauma into triumph, built a motherfucking machine

They can't comprehend my process, how I turn the hurt to gold

Every story that I'm telling leaves the listener controlled

This is shadow empire rising from the depths

Every breath strategic, every move is chess

Built this kingdom brick by brick through all the stress

Now they bow down to the queen, nothing less

They said I'd never make it past the poverty and struggle

But I weaponized my pain and turned it into hustle

Every rejection was a lesson in disguise

Now I'm spitting fire while I'm looking in their eyes

Used to count my losses, now I'm counting all my gains

Every chain I ever wore was just to break free from the chains

They thought silence was submission, but I was loading up my clip

Now every verse is ammunition and my tongue is like a whip

From the gutter to the penthouse, watch me climb without a net

Every gamble that I'm taking, call it calculated bet

They can study my trajectory but they'll never understand

How I turned my disadvantages into my upper hand

This is shadow empire rising from the depths

Every breath strategic, every move is chess

Built this kingdom brick by brick through all the stress

Now they bow down to the queen, nothing less

They said I couldn't do it

Now they ask me how I knew it

Every door that tried to close

I just kicked it off the hinges

Every doubt became my fuel

Every hate became my jewels

Now I'm sitting at the top

Watching all of them cringe

This is shadow empire rising from the depths

Every breath strategic, every move is chess

Built this kingdom brick by brick through all the stress

Now they bow down to the queen, nothing less

Shadow empire stands eternal

Built from struggle, blessed and cursed
