[Intro – Ezio]
Respect the past?
Sure.
But don’t confuse first with best.
⸻
[Hook]
They call you legend, I call you prototype
One blade, one book, same move every f***t
I mastered crowds, politics, the play
You hid in robes and prayed the creed would save
I made Assassins global, you stayed confined
History don’t stop, it refines
So keep that myth, let the records show
I’m the upgrade, you’re the demo
⸻
[Verse 1]
You had one fortress, one narrow view
I ran whole cities, stacked power moves
Florence to Rome, I shook the state
You argued doctrine, I dictated fate
You learned humility late in the script
I learned adaptability off rip
While you questioned orders, froze in doubt
I built networks, took targets out
Social stealth, yeah, I disappear
You stand out loud in a monk disguise, weird
Blending’s an art, deception’s a science
I read men quick, then break alliances

They call you legend, I call you prototype
One blade, one book, same move every f***t
I mastered crowds, politics, the play

I made Assassins global, you stayed confined
History don’t stop, it refines
So keep that myth, let the records show
I’m the upgrade, you’re the demo
⸻
[Verse 2]
You preach restraint like it’s strength alone
But strength is knowing when to own the throne
I led, rebuilt, funded the cause
You needed exile just to learn the laws
You walked straight lines, moral and plain
I bent the board, played friend and enemy same
While you chased truth in dusty scrolls
I pulled strings from merchant souls
Hidden blade? Cute. I dual-wielded two
Plus pistols, p****n, crowd control too
Innovation ain’t heresy, it’s survival
Assassins evolve, you stayed tribal
⸻
[Bridge]
I respect your scars, but let’s be exact
You broke the creed, I perfected that
You found wisdom after you fell
I turned loss into an empire shell
⸻
[Verse 3]
Your story’s a warning, mine’s a rise
From street fights up to masterminds
They remember you for what you learned
They remember me for what I earned
I didn’t just k**l, I inspired cells
Turned chaos into order, bells into hell
If the creed’s a blade, you were the forge
But I’m the edge that cut through wars
So bow if you want, or stand and glare
Just know the future answered your prayer
You asked for freedom, clarity, growth,
I became the answer you wrote
⸻

So keep that myth, let the records show
I’m the upgrade, you’re the demo

[Outro – Ezio]
Requiescat in pace.
but don’t get it twisted.
Foundations matter.
But buildings touch the sky.
