KINGDOM IN MY CHEST Extended Lion Anthem

[Intro] (JP soft, reflective) I came from concrete... But God put a kingdom in my chest. (Astra – patois whisper) Rise, yute... Di lion deh inside yuh heart. Wake it. [Chorus] (Choir + JP singing) I got a kingdom in my chest, built from nights I never slept. Rise from trenches, pain and stress— God said “stand,” so I stepped. From the shadows to the light, from the broken to the blessed, I walk with thunder in my breath— got a kingdom in my chest. [Verse 1] (JP) Born in the struggle where the nights hit cold, Heart full of trauma but the spirit stayed bold. Concrete floors raised a different kinda soul— I ain’t break, I became what the pressure couldn’t hold. Devil took swings but I swung back harder, Life hit deep but it made me smarter. God stood close when the nights got darker— Turned a lost boy into a prophecy charter. Streets taught pain but heaven taught reign, Walked through the fire and I walked out flame. Ain’t no chain strong enough to hold this name— I rise from the gutter like I’m built from Cain. [Interlude] (Astra – strong patois) Stand tall, youth! Rise from di ash like lion pon throne! Mi see yuh walk through di hell alone— Now claim yuh crown, claim yuh zone! [Verse 2] (JP) Nights by the river where the city ain’t sleep, Thoughts in my chest running six miles deep. Saw death in my dreams tryna take my seat— But God said “breathe,” so I found my b**t. Faced every demon that lived in my past, Trusted nobody ‘cause nothing would last. Life moved fast but I never came last— Pain made steel where my heart once was glass. [Pre-Chorus] (JP) Yeah I fell... but I ain’t stay down. I rose slow... rebuilt my crown. [Chorus] (Choir + JP) I got a kingdom in my chest, built from nights I never slept. God pulled me up when I felt death— said “son, rise up, you’re blessed.” From the alleys to the throne, from the bleeding to the grown, I walk with lightning in my bones— God made a kingdom in my own. [Interlude] (Astra) Yuh a warrior, youth—chosen from birth. Yuh spirit too strong fi di curse of di earth. Kingdom inna yuh chest, let di whole world see— Di lion roar loud when yuh claim destiny. [Verse 3] (JP) Pain try d***n me but I still breathe fire, Pressure made diamonds in the cracks of desire. Streets wrote scars but God took me higher— Turned every wound to a holy empire. Concrete tried k**l me but I stood my ground, Nights tried silence me but I found my sound. Heartbeat warrior with a king’s rebound— Every loss I had is a jewel in my crown. [Bridge] (JP soft) I ain’t chosen ‘cause I’m perfect… I’m chosen ‘cause I survived. (Astra) And now yuh rise… As di lion revived. [Chorus] (Choir + JP + Astra) I got a kingdom in my chest, even when the world said “less.” Rose from darkness, pain, duress— God said “son, you’re blessed.” Through the storms and through the test, I found purpose in my mess. Walk with thunder in my breath— kingdom b*****g in my chest. (Astra – roar) LION RISE—CLAIM YUH REST! [Outro] (JP whisper) Kingdom in my chest... forever.
