Il testo della canzone Black Knight

[Intro: Kriz]
We fall to stand
Just take my hand
I heard your cries
I saw your eyes
I, I am alone here
Out in the stars
I’m gone too far
From where you are

[Verse 1: Tablo]
Yeah, when worlds collide, when the sun don’t rise
If I gotta die, I’ma die with open eyes
Raincheck your lullabies, you’ll never make me fall asleep
No alarms and no surprises got me bored, I want the heat
Wake up screamin’, “No defeat!”
My own theme music on rеpeat
Save the picnics for anothеr day, ’cause there’s no retreat
What is life without the pain?
Kill your darlings ’til there’s nothing left to blame, huh
It’s a—

[Chorus: Tablo]
I’m not playin’, you got games
Checkers, but I drop kings
It’s not pain if I love it boilin’ in my hot veins
‘Til my enemies are screamin’ God’s name
I move in silence, other words, I’m not sane
Yeah, I’m not playin’, you got games
Checkers, but I drop kings
It’s not pain if I love it boilin’ in my hot veins
‘Til my enemies are screamin’ my name
I move in silence, other words, I’m not sane

[Refrain: Tablo]
It’s Heaven and Hell, they pray that I fail
Wishin’ me death but I’m livin’ to tell
Keepin’ it simple, not takin’ the L
Sick of the whistles, I’m sick of the bells
Bring out the sickle, I’m tremblin’, boy
Hate is a tickle, I’m gigglin’, boy
God to a king, king to you, boys
Stand tall while you sit with your toys

[Chorus: Tablo]
You got games
Checkers, but I drop kings
It’s not pain if I love it boilin’ in my hot veins
I’m not playin’, you got games
Checkers, but I drop kings
It’s not pain if I love it boilin’ in my hot veins

[Post-Chorus: Kriz]
We fall to stand
Just take my hand
I heard your cries
I saw your eyes

[Verse 2: Tablo]
I’ve spilled blood, dripped sweat, shed tears, and I’m still here
I’ve been lost (Been lost), faced death (Faced death)
Felt fear, and I’m still here
What doesn’t kill me only makes me bleed
And I’m all red, everythin’
On fire like a phoenix, pour me some more kerosene
Burn, burn, burn ’til the point of no return
I’ll be born from the ashes, ain’t no corpse to overturn
[Refrain: Tablo]
Yeah, it’s Heaven and Hell, they pray that I fail
Wishin’ me death but I’m livin’ to tell
Keepin’ it simple, not takin’ the L
Sick of the whistles, I’m sick of the bells
Bring out the sickle, I’m tremblin’, boy
Hate is a tickle, I’m gigglin’, boy
God to a king, king to you, boys
Stand tall while you sit with your toys

[Chorus: Tablo]
You got games
Checkers, but I drop kings
It’s not pain if I love it boilin’ in my hot veins
I’m not playin’, you got games
Checkers, but I drop kings
It’s not pain if I love it boilin’ in my hot veins

[Post-Chorus: Kriz]
We fall to stand
Just take my hand
I heard your cries
I saw your eyes
I, I
