Invincible
Mountains vs. Machines Lyrics

Voices in the air
I am hearing voices around me, which symbolize the opinions and influences of others.

I hear them loud and clear
These voices are clear and prominent, making it hard to ignore them.

Telling me to listen
The voices are urging me to pay attention and take their advice into consideration.

Whispers in my ear
The messages from these voices are subtle and intimate, trying to sway my thoughts and decisions.

Nothing can compare
There is nothing that can match the power and impact of these voices in my life.

I just wanna listen
Despite any doubts or uncertainties, I am willing and eager to hear what these voices have to say.

As my, world turns
Refers to the constant changes and evolution of my life and surroundings.

The heart beats
Not only does my own heart beat within my chest, but it also represents the pulse of the streets, the essence of the city I come from.

Not only in my chest
The heartbeat and energy of my community reside within me as well.

But the heart of the streets
I am deeply connected to the spirit and culture of the streets, which influence and shape my identity.

So when they feel this, they feel me
When the streets resonate with my music or message, it is a reflection of my true self and who I am as an artist.

But I can't feel nothin', outside these Dre Beats
While I may emotionally disconnect from the outside world, music, particularly my signature Dre Beats headphones, is my source of inspiration and emotional connection.

I am from the city of people who came from the bottom
I hail from a city where many individuals started from disadvantaged or humble beginnings.

Standing on top of what was supposed to be my coffin, what's up?
Despite the odds and expectations of failure, I have risen above and achieved success in a manner that defies expectations.

Exception shows me as the dead man walkin'
While society might view me as destined to fail, I am determined to prove them wrong and continue to thrive.

But reflections show this kid's still got it
Despite any doubts or criticisms, introspection reveals that I still possess my talent, drive, and potential for greatness.

Better be known I got the throne like I don't know that there's a king
I hold a position of power and influence, as if I am unaware that there are others who may claim superiority.

Never grew up around a family 'cause I'm not a human being
The lack of a traditional family structure has shaped my identity, making me feel somewhat alien or different from societal norms.

And anyone under my bubble that's coming in my spot, the top
If anyone attempts to challenge or compete with me for my position of success and recognition, they are entering a realm where I reign supreme.

Let 'em have it, cause when I leave, the whole world drops
For now, I allow others to experience and enjoy success in my absence, knowing that my departure would have a significant impact on the industry or scene.

Lace up Kells
The phrase 'Lace up' serves as a rallying cry and symbol of determination, while 'Kells' refers to the artist's nickname or stage name.

Telling me I am invincible
The voices, both internal and external, are affirming my belief and strength in overcoming obstacles and achieving greatness.

Waking up sweatin from the stress of being caged out
I often wake up feeling anxious and overwhelmed due to the pressure and constraints placed upon me by my circumstances or the industry.

Everything I write is played out, like what is this?
I feel like my creative output or artistic expressions have become unoriginal or predictable, causing me to question their value and purpose.

Tear the whole page out
I want to start fresh and redefine my artistic direction, discarding any previous work that no longer resonates with me.

Man I come from holes on the wall but they don't know the past
My origins and the challenges I have faced are often overlooked or unknown by others, who only perceive my current success.

Even if I told them at all they wouldn't know the half
Even if I were to share my complete story and experiences, others would still not fully comprehend or appreciate the extent of my struggles and journey.

So maybe I fill up my luggage with all these dreams
I carry my hopes, aspirations, and ambitions with me at all times, using them as motivation to keep pushing forward.

And pull on my black coat and my black chucks and nothing in my jeans
I embrace a minimalistic lifestyle, prioritizing my craft and creative expression over material possessions.

It's just one, til the day come like Rocky's movie scene
I have a singular focus and determination, being relentless in pursuing my goals until I achieve a breakthrough moment comparable to that of Rocky Balboa's triumphant boxing scene in the movies.

And I'm on top of the world, look up the screen like this is me this is Kells
When I finally reach the pinnacle of success, I will proudly look at the multitude of screens and platforms that showcase my achievements, truly embodying my identity as Kells.

Crucified by the public without the nails
The public often criticizes and harshly judges me, metaphorically crucifying me for my actions or choices, even without the physical nails of crucifixion.

Do or die in my city but clearly I never failed
Survival and success are crucial in the competitive environment of my city, yet despite the challenges, I have always managed to overcome and prevail.

Lost myself from the game when I found myself from the cell
I detached from the superficiality and distractions of the music industry, finding my true self and purpose during a period of confinement or introspection.

And I found myself from the fame when I lost myself to the pills
While fame initially led me astray and caused me to lose touch with my authentic self, it was through my struggles with substance abuse that I rediscovered my true identity.

And you cannot mess with me still, seen the boys and they winning
Despite any adversity or doubts, I remain strong and untouchable, witnessing my peers and colleagues achieving their own victories and successes.

Underdogs of the year Cleveland boys in the building
We, as underdogs from Cleveland, have risen to prominence and representation within the music industry, making our mark and asserting our presence.

What the fuck is a ceiling I'm taking us to the top
I refuse to accept any limitations or barriers, propelling myself and those around me to the highest level of achievement.

And when I leave the whole world drops
My departure or absence has a significant impact on the world, demonstrating the influence and legacy I have built.

Lace Up Kells
Once again, the phrase 'Lace Up' serves as a reminder to stay determined and committed, while 'Kells' represents the artist's identity and brand.
