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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
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
