Lyrics
[Verse]
Opoku thinks he's got the crown
But every step he takes
He’s falling down
Shadows chase him
Yeah
They know his name
Running from the truth
But it’s all the same
Talk so loud
But it’s all hot air
You’re climbing ladders that ain’t even there
Mirror
Mirror
Do you see his bluff
Cracks in his armor
It ain’t that tough
[Chorus]
Opoku
Opoku
Where’s your throne
King of nothing
Just sitting alone
Opoku
Opoku
Hear the crowd
They’re laughing now
It’s getting loud
[Verse 2]
You act like gold
But you’re rusting fast
Claiming first place when you’re dead last
Words like daggers
But they’re paper thin
A war you started that you can’t even win
Fighting shadows
Punching air
Lost your grip
Now you’re barely there
Dreams of glory
But they’re made of sand
Watch ‘em crumble right out of your hand
[Bridge]
Your name’s a whisper in the breeze
A joke told under shady trees
Opoku’s legend
It’s a fading spark
A flicker drowning in the dark
Opoku thinks he's got the crown
But every step he takes
He’s falling down
Shadows chase him
Yeah
They know his name
Running from the truth
But it’s all the same
Talk so loud
But it’s all hot air
You’re climbing ladders that ain’t even there
Mirror
Mirror
Do you see his bluff
Cracks in his armor
It ain’t that tough
[Chorus]
Opoku
Opoku
Where’s your throne
King of nothing
Just sitting alone
Opoku
Opoku
Hear the crowd
They’re laughing now
It’s getting loud
[Verse 2]
You act like gold
But you’re rusting fast
Claiming first place when you’re dead last
Words like daggers
But they’re paper thin
A war you started that you can’t even win
Fighting shadows
Punching air
Lost your grip
Now you’re barely there
Dreams of glory
But they’re made of sand
Watch ‘em crumble right out of your hand
[Bridge]
Your name’s a whisper in the breeze
A joke told under shady trees
Opoku’s legend
It’s a fading spark
A flicker drowning in the dark
