The Crown I Bear

Don't be mad I'm winning it's expected
Comfy at your spot but when I drop it's unprotected
Knew I'd be on top with all the beats I done selected
I knew I'd break the ballot with the talent that I'm blessed with
Eating off my passion I saw hunger manifested
I see you got complacent that's when hunger gets neglected
Even on the roughest roads, drive is unaffected
Even with the toughest tolls, craft will be perfected

Owing it all to myself
Could've been doubting me, hanging shit up on my shelves
But I put it out on the shelves
Believe in me even when none of my confidence swells
'Cause who gone put me in the conversation
If I'm not putting me in my own rotation
I'll be damned if I don't have an inclination
To be mentioned with those I got admiration
This shit means too much
I really can't fake this stuff
Got folks all around me saying it's tough
Letting me know don't give up
Good things coming out the clutch
If that don't stir me, what could refer me?
Look at the world like "What could deter me?"
My Ma thinks all of y'all don't deserve me
Tell all my friends only y'all could've hurt me
But even if the worst comes to pass I'll be fine yeah
Even if I'm down on my ass I'll be fine yeah
Even if I struggle with the task I'll be fine
At the end of the day I know I'm taking what is mine yeah

Don't be mad I'm winning it's expected
Comfy at your spot but when I drop it's unprotected
Knew I'd be on top with all the beats I done selected
I knew I'd break the ballot with the talent that I'm blessed with
Eating off my passion I saw hunger manifested
I see you got complacent that's when hunger gets neglected
Even on the roughest roads, drive is unaffected
Even with the toughest tolls, craft will be perfected

This is the crown that I bear
Leading the race with no rest fuck a tortoise and hare
Handle this shit with great care
I'm looking down on the people that weren't as prepared
Reason my vision's impaired
I'm looking up to the sky it's the only thing clear
But I'm not lonely up here
Sharing the stage with the people I trust and my peers
How can I be doubting me?
I see you scouting me
I see supporters surrounding me
I see you hate it's confounding me
Really profound to me
People I honor look down on me
It's really the norm
Forget about it when I gotta perform
I focus on the show I gotta put on
I'm bearing the crown and it's riddled with thorns
But even if the worst comes to pass I'll be fine yeah
Even if I'm down on my ass I'll be fine yeah
Even if I struggle with the task I'll be fine
At the end of the day I know I'm taking what is mine yeah
