Iron Gates Closing

Let the record show I was present for

the rise. Exhibit A: the hunger in my eyes.

They predicted a default,

a total no-show Left me off the docket,

thought they'd run the whole show But I read the fine print,

bypassed the gate Signed my own release form,

sealed my own fate

Now they're looking puzzled,

checking the ledger Trying to calculate my psychological pressure

(ha,

good luck)

So write it down,

put it in the log

How we made a kingdom

out of heavy fog

(write it down!)

I did not ask for permission to stand!

I built this court on a fraction of sand!

Now the verdict is in,

and it's mine to command! (yeah!)

Cross-examine the methods, scrutinize the grind You won't find a single trace

of doubt in my mind They wanted a sob story,

some tragic appeal But I'm laughing in the lobby as I seal

the deal They underestimated the weight of the frame Now they're paying

court costs just to hear the name

No further questions.

Let the silence speak. (shhh)

I did not ask for permission to stand!

I built this court on a fraction of sand!

Now the verdict is in,

and it's mine to command! (victory!)

Case closed.
