Lyric

Deep in the gutter, I stuttered, I suffered

But now I’m the monster that cannot be buffered

You’re American pets, placing your bets

While I’m in the shadows, settling debts

"Zainichi" status, you practice your malice

I’m building my throne in a concrete palace

The cold on the floor, it opened the door

I don’t want your pity, I’m hungry for war

Your "hospitality" is mental fatality

I’m breaking the walls of this crooked reality

You bark at the moon, I’m coming for you

With a venomous flow that’ll pierce you right through

Your collar is shining, but inside you’re whining

I’m climbing the ladder, the stars are aligning

I came from the dirt, the pain and the hurt

Now I’m the disaster you cannot avert

[Chorus]

Higher and higher, the soul is on fire

I’m climbing the wire, the ultimate liar

The dog of the West is a guest in my nest

I’m putting your "loyalty" straight to the test

From the Koreatown streets to the peak of the mountain

The blood of my enemies flows like a fountain

I’m never gonna stop, never gonna drop

Until I am standing alone at the top

[Verse 2]

The day that I met you, I’ll never forget you

You saved me from demons that tried to upset you

But look at me now, I’m taking the vow

To break every neck that refuses to bow

The ground was so freezing, my spirit was wheezing

But now I’m the one who is doing the seizing

No more assimilation, or fake education

I’m the voice of a broken and scarred generation

You love the money, the girls acting sunny

But living like you is pathetic and funny

I’m sharpening blades, I’m ending the charades

While you’re getting lost in your own masquerades

My heritage bleeding, my hunger is feeding

On every weak soul that is currently receding

You think you’re a master? You’re just a disaster

I’m moving much heavier, harder and faster

[Verse 3]

Listen up close to the ghost in the machine

I’m the darkest of nights in a world of routine

You’re obsessed with the clout, I’m obsessed with the doubt

That I’ll turn into you if I don’t take the route

Of the warrior spirit, you fear it, don't near it

The truth is a frequency, you cannot hear it

Stay in the light with your fake "human rights"

While I’m ruling the shadows and winning the fights

Koreatown alleys, the dark valley rallies

I’m counting the bodies and checking the tallies

You’re a puppet on strings, I’m the bird with the wings

I’m the curse that the winter and poverty brings

[Bridge]

One step, two steps, rising from hell

I’m ringing the bell, I’m breaking the shell

No fear in my eyes, no limit to rise

I’m tearing the mask off your beautiful lies

The hunger is feeding, the weakness is bleeding

The king of the gutter is finally leading

I’m stronger than steel, I’m more than just real

I’m the ultimate weapon you’re destined to feel

[Outro]

Shut up and listen, the steel starts to glisten

The mission is clear, I don’t need your permission

The cold on the ground was my only foundation

Now I’m the ruler of this whole goddamn nation

I’m higher than high, I’m touching the sky

A legend that’s born and will never say die

I’m the king of the floor, the judge of your fate

And I’m kicking down every locked, arrogant gate
