[Talking Intro]

Yeah. People love the view from the top, but they never want to help carry the bricks. I’ve watched them sit at my table when their plates were bone dry. I shared the harvest. But the second I stopped being a grocery store, I became a stranger to them. Funny how that works. Royal D. Let’s get into the business of reality. [beat drops with a heavy, steady knock]

Verse One

I sat them at the table when the cupboards were bare.

Split the last of the bread, gave them more than my share. (so Majestic)

I was the host, the provider, the one holding the light.

But the moment the kitchen went cold, they vanished in the night. (yeah)

Now I see them down the street, acting like they always had a seat.

Eating in my face while they’re walking on the pavement of defeat. (real talk)

I didn't lose a friend, I just lost a mouth to feed.

I was planting the garden while they were just the weed. (yeah)

Table for one is a celebration of the truth.

I’m back in the booth, rebuilding the proof. (so Majestic)

No more handouts for the ones who only show up for the feast.

I’m a businessman first, but I’m still a monster on the beat. (real talk)

I learned that loyalty is a currency they can’t afford to spend.

So I’m closing the account and letting the fake stories end. (yeah)

I am the architect of the structure and the plan.

I am a self-made, independent man. (boss)

Chorus

The table is empty, the guests are all gone.

I’m standing here waiting for the break of the dawn. (so Majestic)

They took what they wanted and left me the scraps.

Falling right into the common traps. (yeah)

The kitchen is closed, the locks are all turned.

Just another lesson that I had to have learned. (real talk)

Verse Two

They call it luck because they can't handle the architecture.

They see the crown, but they can't survive the pressure. (yeah)

I was the laborer, the builder, and the security guard.

Building a fortress in a world that’s inherently hard. (so Majestic)

Being a threat isn't about being the loudest in the room.

It’s about being the one who controls the engine and the boom. (real talk)

While they were announcing the moves they wanted to make.

I was already finishing the roof for the family’s sake. (yeah)

I don't need a permission slip to sit in the captain’s chair.

I built the boat, the dock, and the sea that’s waiting there. (boss)

When you don't need their help, that’s when the murmurs start.

Because your independence is a dagger to their heart. (so Majestic)

I’m the bank, the clearinghouse, the owner of the IP.

I’m the real deal businessman, you can see it in the ID. (yeah)

One hundred percent ownership is the only way to play.

I’m claiming every dollar that is coming my way. (real talk)

Chorus

The table is empty, the guests are all gone.

I’m standing here waiting for the break of the dawn. (so Majestic)

They took what they wanted and left me the scraps.

Falling right into the common traps. (yeah)

The kitchen is closed, the locks are all turned.

Just another lesson that I had to have learned. (real talk)

Bridge

[The percussion drops out, leaving only a deep, pulsing synth. The flow becomes more like a spoken-word testimony.]

There is a major difference between being 'near' me and being 'with' me. (yeah)

The leaves are near the tree, but they fall when the wind gets cold.

The roots... the roots are with the tree. (so Majestic)

That’s where the power is. That’s where the story is told. (real talk)

I’m valuing the foundation over the decoration.

Verse Three

Growth is realizing that most people are just an urban myth.

They want the gold, but they don't want to work the shift. (yeah)

Silence is the loudest weapon in my entire arsenal.

My moves are strategic, my growth is never partial. (so Majestic)

Don't confuse my quiet for a lack of a master plan.

I’m the owner of the system, a self-made man. (real talk)

Three generations—that’s the floor, not the ceiling.

I’m looking at the assets, I don't care about the feeling. (yeah)

The masters, the publishing, the whole So Majestic name.

I’m the one who owns the stadium, I don't just play the game. (boss)

Every stream, every play, every licensing deal.

Is a brick in the legacy, making the vision real. (so Majestic)

So keep your empty plates and your seats at the other table.

I’m busy writing the truth while you’re living in a fable. (yeah)

The threat is in the ownership, the control, and the grip.

I’m the only one sailing on this flagship ship. (real talk)

Chorus

The table is empty, the guests are all gone.

I’m standing here waiting for the break of the dawn. (so Majestic)

They took what they wanted and left me the scraps.

Falling right into the common traps. (yeah)

The kitchen is closed, the locks are all turned.

Just another lesson that I had to have learned. (real talk)
