Intro
They told me disorder was the enemy, nah I watched the board flip and rewrote the map While they froze I was moving through the gap Every crack in concrete grew a ladder from scrap
Verse 1
Recession hit the block like a wrecking ball at dawn Portfolios collapsing, half the old guard gone Picking assets from the rubble right up off the lawn Distressed price on a kingdom, sign the deed, moving on They cling to what was, I architect what's next Volatility the soil where leverage intersects Incumbents pray for normal, I deploy a different text Read the room when it's burning, anti-fragile flex
Verse 2
Littlefinger saw it first, low birth high ambition Every war's a vacancy, manufactured collision Climbed through smoke with surgical precision But Bran whispered back his words, whole trap froze Map the manipulation and the game decompose Arsonist gets burned by the fire he composed Pattern got exposed, every ally turned to foes Own ladder became the noose he chose
Verse 3
Chaos ain't a pit where the broken drown Stress test on the system, watch who holds ground AI crashed the gate, blockchain rewrote town Legacy playbooks burning, smell the ash down Discontinuities breed alpha, builder's creed Compress a decade's growth to a quarter's speed Fall is permanent for those who misread Capital trust and name, gone guaranteed
Pre-chorus
They freeze deny and cling to what was I move through wreckage that's what builders does Ladder shows when the old floor drops because Every rung was hidden under status quo applause
Chorus
Chaos is the ladder I'm stepping on each rung World falls apart I stay reaching for the sun Many tried to climb it but the fall broke every one Won't stop won't slip the climb is all I've done Climb, climb, climb
Verse 4
Demagogues manufacture panic weaponize fear Confused populations easier to commandeer Same playbook Baelish ran, seed war volunteer As savior with the answer while you shed the tear Stewards see the wreck and build a different path Legitimacy earned bringing signal through the math Fairer rules in ruins that's the aftermath Not extraction from suffering, psychopath
Bridge
Most anchor to a job a title a name When it vanishes they shatter thought that was the frame Broken pattern is a window not a chain Question isn't if it falls but who you help sustain
Chorus
Chaos is the ladder I'm stepping on each rung World falls apart I stay reaching for the sun Many tried to climb it but the fall broke every one Not an arsonist I'm building lifting everyone Climb, climb, climb
Verse 5
Same crash same scandal same floor starts to shake One grabs the spoils while another builds the gate Twist ain't whether chaos is a ladder anymore It's who you help ascend when the world stops keeping score Design for volatile assume the ground will quake Build systems share the upside that's the move I make Not Littlefinger's ladder where your pain is my stake Architect who builds so nothing else has to break
Outro
When structures crumble and they scramble in the dust Rungs appear for those who move on more than trust Ladder's real the climb is real but check your thrust What you build at every rung determines if it's just Chaos is the ladder
Inside the recording
They told me disorder was the enemy, nah I watched the board flip and rewrote the map
They freeze deny and cling to what was I move through wreckage that's what builders does
When structures crumble and they scramble in the dust Rungs appear for those who move on more than trust
