[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]

[00:37.15]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
