Intro---- -Somebody told me I would be alright But I realized; they lied
There are those who would dare to challenge me and my work But I will not falter, and I will not fall
Hook---- -Hate me, but you’ll never slay me Cage me, but you’ll never break me (Hit me with your best shot) But I won’t fade away I won’t fade away I won’t fade away
Verse 1---- -In everything I do I seem to be faced with entities That wants to be killing the happiness embedded in me They want me to break my integrity They’re trying to take away my song but I keep in key, yeah -Never been the one to cave under pressure With incredible fortitude willing to take on whatever Got the heart of a beast, the mind of a genius always at work With God at my back, I’ll live in the verse -My blood becomes the rhythm; the beat takes over my breath My soul starts to dance to the staccato boom in my chest Look into my eyes, all you’ll see is a treble clef My I.Q. is now EQ’d for preview, bear witness to my finesse -Oh I’m a survivor; a lover inside a fighter Inspired writer, in spite of all of the hate provided You’re all invited to see me rise up to claim my title “The King of Fire”; “The Most Desired”; “The Iron Lion”
-How many times do I have to prove “I’m not a rapper?” Before you understand, I’m more than you could ever be
-Hater, you’re living a blind life behind lies Unable to understand my rhyme; can’t find my flavor I can see you’re scared of my flow Yes, you’re afraid I’ll expose The truth that you’re grown from a mold, uh huh -There’s a million other rappers who claim to be the realest and Every single one of you’s a mirror to the next man Stereotypical bunch of hacks in a caravan You will never be able to do what I can -As a phoenix with golden feathers, I fly free Unlike you cookies who hide behind bling and white T’s -Face the facts; you’re just another punk in a mask A slave to cash; a puppet doing his song and dance You’re music’s trash; no one is listening to you speak The only way you can build your name is to hate me
Hook 2---- -Open your eyes I’ll never die; you can tell your lies I’ll still survive You can -Hate me, but you’ll never slay me Cage me, but you’ll never break me (Hit me with your best shot) But I won’t fade away I won’t fade away I won’t fade away
Bridge---- -Get your lighters out; put’em up in the air Sing it loud and proud, “We’re not going anywhere” We’ll keep on marching until we take all the haters out You’re gonna need more than an army to hold me down
