Invincible
Ester Dean and MGK Lyrics

Voices in the air
The sounds around me are speaking loudly and clearly

I hear them loud and clear
I am aware of what the sounds are telling me

Telling me to listen
The sounds are urging me to pay attention

Whispers in my ear
The sounds are soft and intimate, like a secret being shared

Nothing can compare
There is nothing else that can match the importance of what I am hearing

I just wanna listen
All I want to do is focus on and absorb these sounds

As my, world turns
As my life progresses and changes

The heart beats
The sound of my own heartbeat

Not only in my chest
Not just within my own body

But the heart of the streets
But in the pulse and rhythm of the city, the community I am a part of

So when they feel this, they feel me
When others can experience and connect with this music and message, they are connecting with me as a person

But I can't feel nothin', outside these Dre Beats
The intense, rich sound of these headphones is so all-consuming that I am unable to feel anything else

I am from the city of people who came from the bottom
I come from a place where people have overcome great adversity and challenges

Standing on top of what was supposed to be my coffin, what's up?
Despite the odds against me, I have emerged victorious and am now in a position of power and control

Exception shows me as the dead man walkin'
Even though I am now successful, there are still those who doubt me and see only my past

But reflections show this kid's still got it
My own self-reflection tells me that I still have what it takes to succeed

Better be known I got the throne like I don't know that there's a king
I am fully aware of my own power and status, and am not afraid to assert myself

Never grew up around a family 'cause I'm not a human being
I have been so focused on my career and success that I feel almost separate from the usual human experiences like family and connection

And anyone under my bubble that's coming in my spot, the top
Anyone who tries to take my place or challenge my position will find it difficult, as I am at the peak of my game

Let 'em have it, cause when I leave, the whole world drops
I am in control of my own destiny, and when I am gone, things will never be the same

Lace up Kells
An exhortation to strap on one's shoes and get ready for action

Waking up sweatin from the stress of being caged out
The pressure and anxiety of my life and career are overwhelming and make me feel trapped

Everything I write is played out, like what is this?
I am struggling to find new inspiration and content, and feel like I am repeating myself

Tear the whole page out
I want to start over fresh and abandon my old ideas entirely

Man I come from holes on the wall but they don't know the past
Even though I come from humble beginnings and have faced many struggles, others do not fully understand my background and history

Even if I told them at all they wouldn't know the half
Even if I were to try and explain myself to others, they would not fully grasp the extent of my experiences

So maybe I fill up my luggage with all these dreams
Perhaps the only thing I can do is focus on my own aspirations and hopes

And pull on my black coat and my black chucks and nothing in my jeans
I am ready to hit the ground running, with nothing holding me back but my own ambition and drive

It's just one, til the day come like Rocky's movie scene
I am fighting an uphill battle that will be difficult and grueling, but one day it will all be worth it and I will emerge victorious

And I'm on top of the world, look up the screen like this is me this is Kells
When I succeed, it will be a moment of triumph and pride that everyone will see and recognize as my own

Crucified by the public without the nails
Even though I have faced criticism and rejection from others, it has not broken me

Do or die in my city but clearly I never failed
Even though the stakes are high and the pressure is intense, I have never given up or faltered

Lost myself from the game when I found myself from the cell
My time in confinement and isolation helped me to rediscover myself and my own strength

And I found myself from the fame when I lost myself to the pills
My success and popularity also challenged me and led me down a dangerous path of addiction and substance abuse

And you cannot mess with me still, seen the boys and they winning
Despite everything, I am still unstoppable and have a team of supporters behind me who are also succeeding

Underdogs of the year Cleveland boys in the building
We come from a place that is often underestimated or overlooked, but we are making our mark

What the fuck is a ceiling I'm taking us to the top,
There are no limits or barriers that can hold me back from achieving even greater success and recognition

And when I leave the whole world drops
My influence and impact are so great that when I am gone, everything changes

Lace Up Kells
A final rallying cry to gather strength and stay focused on our goals
