They forgot I came from fire and I don't do peace
Cross that line, boy, that's your last mistake
'Cause I don't warn twice, I just raise the stakes
You threaten mine, then you threatened your life
I don't do prayer circles, I return the strife
Ain't no fear in my bones, ain't no backing out
Say my name wrong once, and I'm airin' it out
I'll burn this bitch down, don't test my flame
You play with hellfire, you say my name
You come for my people, I'll take your crown

I'm the storm in the dark, I'm the iron heart
Kick dirt on my door and I'll bury the plot
I don't bluff, motherfucker, I take the shot
I don't fight fair, I fight final instead
'Til the whole damn room learns what I said
Protect what's mine, that's a blood-born vow
Say a word wrong, you'll find out now
