Yeah…
They said I wouldn’t make it — I ain’t even flinch.
Shadow on the throne now… watch me tighten every hinge.
This is all tension, no drums yet
This isn’t luck, this is discipline stitched into skin,
Dark ambition in my chest like a spark about to win.

I rose up from the edges where the city never sleeps,
Where the whispers feel like daggers and the pavement cuts deep.
I never asked for validation, never begged for a seat
I carved a kingdom out the concrete with the blood on my feet.

I’m the one they never mention but the one they always fear,
I’m the pressure in their chest when they know the end is near.
I’m the calm before the chaos, I’m the truth in every mirror —
If they looking for a savior, tell ’em I don’t volunteer.

Power ain’t inherited, it’s taken with intent,
If you hesitate a second, then your legacy is spent.
I survived on instinct sharpened like a blade that never bent,
Now my name is in the corridors where every secret went.

Cold steps, steady breath — every move is by design,
Turned the shadows to my armor, turned the fear into my spine.

I’m not your hero, I’m the shadow on the throne,
Built from silence, from the nights I bled alone.
Every scar another claim to the crown I own —
Dark ambition in my veins, now I’m fully grown.

I’m not your hero, I’m the force you can’t deny,
Move with purpose, every step is by design.
Took the darkness, turned it into my supply —
Now the throne’s got room for only me on the rise.

I don’t follow any blueprint, I rewrite the architect,
I’m the consequence of choices that the weak ones always wreck.
When they underestimated, I just added disrespect
Now I’m here collecting debts with interest they can’t deflect.

Cold heart? Maybe. Focused? Absolutely.
I don’t owe the world forgiveness for the things it put me through.
I don’t sugarcoat a promise — if I said it, then it’s true
And if I said I’m taking over, that’s exactly what I’ll do.

I move silent like a rumor, but my impact shakes the floor,
Got ’em checking every angle when I walk in through the door.
If they plotting in the shadows, I’ve been plotting even more
Turning enemies to echoes that ain’t relevant no more.

If they want a moral compass, better look the other way,
I ain’t here to preach a sermon, I’m just here to make my play.
They can beg or they can bargain, but there ain’t no easy sway
I’m the villain of my story ’cause the hero died today.

I’m not your hero, I’m the shadow on the throne,
Built from silence, from the nights I bled alone.
Every scar another claim to the crown I own —
Dark ambition in my veins, now I’m fully grown.

I’m not your hero, I’m the force you can’t deny,
Move with purpose, every step is by design.
Took the darkness, turned it into my supply —
Now the throne’s got room for only me on the rise.

I don’t chase the light, I learned to navigate the night.
Everything they tried to break just became another right.
If they searching for a hero, better look beyond my sight…
’Cause I’m the shadow on the throne
and I’m sitting here tonight.
