Built from Hollow

I turned the pressure into proof,

now the room feel smaller They was waiting on a fall,

I was building from the holler Every loss got logged,

every scar became a dollar I don’t talk about the crown—I make

the whole game alter Now the ledger balanced out,

keep the ledger in the vault Never pointed out a flaw,

never pointed out a fault Built the table out of timber while

they waited on a seat Left the rivals in the static,

pacing quiet on their feet

I don't argue with the noise,

I let numbers do the speaking

Spent five winters in the cold while the roof was quietly leaking

Every doubt was documented,

every hour put on record (yeah)

Turned a narrow little corner to an empire undisputed Check the blueprint

on the desk, not a single detail muted

We don't ask for permission,

we just lay down the floor

Stack the timber to the ceiling,

put a lock upon the door (uh-huh)

Every setback was the mortar,

every bruise became the frame They were whispering my title while I

rearranged the game (rearranged the game)

Kept the circle strictly iron,

kept the perimeter closed Didn't broadcast the design,

let 'em see it when it rose They was bragging on advance,

I was buying out the shares Calm precision in the ledger,

taking steps instead of stairs Now the phone don't even ring unless

it's strictly about tenure Every setback in the past was a calculated

venture Watch 'em study all the moves that they labeled impossible Stand

immovable and cold while the vision stays unstoppable

We don't ask for permission,

we just lay down the floor

Stack the timber to the ceiling,

put a lock upon the door (yeah)

Every setback was the mortar,

every bruise became the frame

They were whispering my title while I rearranged the game (never was

a game)

Built the table.

Sat down alone.

Now they stand in line just to view the stone.

(watch it

hold)
