Never His To Give

Fire in the palaceYuh

Thirteen in the war room, spoke out of lineSaid them soldiers gonna die for nothin'They said stand and fight, defend what you saidTurned aroundIt was my fatherKnelt down, wouldn't raise a handHe raised hisShipped out that week, half my face still warmCome back when you catch a myth in a stormA mythThree years on the water, chasin' smoke

HonorChased it 'round the whole worldScar came from his handIt was never his to giveHad it in me the whole time

Mask on at midnight, two swords, one flowBroke the Avatar out a fortress, soloWhole army huntin' a ghostUncle poured the tea, said sip it slowDestiny's a river, boiLet it flowAin't listen, sold him out under the cityTraded the truth for a throneCame home to a parade, crown back, girl badEverything I chased my whole life in my handStill burnedGot it all and it felt like the scar

HonorChased it 'round the whole worldScar came from his handIt was never his to giveHad it in me the whole time

Eclipse day, sun died, walked in on the kingFire dead in his hands, mine finally litHe threw the lightning, I ran it through and let it goUncle's moveWater taught itFound the boy with the arrows, said I know the wayFire ain't rage, boi, fire is breathThen my sister came apart on crownin' dayBlue lightning at the girlAin't think, stepped inTook the whole sky through my chest, woke on stoneSmoke off my shirt, she was safe

HonorChased it 'round the whole worldScar came from his handIt was never his to giveHad it in me the whole time

My father gave me the scarCrawled back to his cell thinkin' he'd turn away

Boy told me his first girl turned into the moonFlow
