The Crown

'Member when a nigga 5'2
On the playground
Sippin' on some orange juice
Livin' on some safe ground
Throwin' up a deuce
Went to high school
Did the labor, got my fruits
I'm thankful for that
Didn't die by a bullet or a noose
I'm not breakin ankles for cash
Either way I would end up on the news
I swear some of y'all couldn't walk a mile in my shoes
Didn't mhave my life figured out
Mama tried her best
But our wallets in a drought
I was tryna live care free
But my family was relying on me
Chillin' with my niggas
Man, I can barely
Remember all those times
Bitch, I'm only 19
I been fly as a kite
But bitch I might be
Livin' my best fucking life
All up in my bed
And she wanna spend the night
Runnin' from the feds
'Cause a nigga ain't white
Leavin' all these rappers dead
So you better look alive
Always breakin' bread
But you gotta split it right
I been looking to the sky
And I'm praying for better times
Rraying for better lives
Shit ain't workin out
Niggas switchin' sides
Snakes lurkin' on the grass ground
Niggas hitcin' rides
And they taking what I found
But we finna get it back
And I'm gonna take the crown

I remember coming home from school
On my own confused, music my only love when I was lonely too
True story I would turn off the lights
Burning inside, let that shit save me from dying alive
Feeling fine in the dark, one day I'd be making my mark
Finding Nemo got me petrified of swimming with sharks
Gotta know my character's arc and I never left my guitar
Everybody wanna jump on my road to fame now that I've made it this far
Everybody wanna claim that they knew me, everybody wanna ride on this wave
and I really wanna show them the real me and I got them running away
Where were you when I started? Talking shit on the side
Now you see me working while envy making you cry
I know now with the come up, haters be dragging me down
Yea I get it they fucked up 'cause now I'm bagging the crown
Don't worry I understand that it's hard to be you,
Life's a stage, my part is to win and your part is to lose

Morphine from the pen
Therapy for hours when I was lying in bed
Keep hustling and you'll keep eating they said
Like a beast I'm always hungry now I'm chasing this bread
Throwback to my high school days
Where I would doubt myself every step of the way
Now the voices in my head have a different sound
Destiny calls upon me, now I'm taking this crown, bitch

Yeah, yeah now I'm taking the crown
They try to bring me down but no
Listen, now I'm taking the crown
Don't you fuck with the Kid in the House
Now I'm taking the crown
King on the throne, I'm singing aloud
I'm taking the crown
