Heavy Crown

Lyrics

[Verse One] Down but not out Rap dreams were birthed in a small city Standing on dirt lawns in Fila's but want Griffey's Gritters on the blacktop, dummy knots in all fifties Automatic weapons in they overall Dickies Busy reminiscing, really need to let the past go Sippin' Paul and Remy in a brown bag slow Took the high road, even catching low blows Thought niggas was my homies, guess we wasn't that close Oh, guess y'all decided that I was shit No utility in this if I'm writing you a hit Used to stress a nigga out, now it is what it is Giving so much of your time to be maligned in the end Spent close to a dime freely gave to the region Somehow became pariah never gave me a reason Played fair, took losses, ebb and flow of the season Some of y'all think I'm defeated but this chapter ain't completed For real! [Chorus] When I was down bad ain't nobody around You never know how heavy the crown Made mistakes on my way, feel I'm letting you down You never know how heavy the crown All alone with my fears, regrets and my doubts You never know how heavy the crown Even thought about quitting but, how do that sound You never know how heavy the crown [Verse Two] Man, you ever been on the verge of losing your spouse She say she done with you without moving her mouth Dont sleep in the same bed, you stew on the couch Wishing she was chewing you up instead of chewing you out Thinking that you stepping out you ain't removing her doubts Feeling like a roommate the rents due in the house Yea these other women flirting but they do it for clout And you phone start checking when some music is out Pictures is hardly perfect if you watching the scene Leave the phone faced down and you locking the screen Is you coming or going, you feel caught in between Stopped saying that 'I love you' you forgot what it means See the pictures hardly perfect it's just not what it seems It be hanging by a thread don't fall apart at the seams See the pictures hardly perfect it's just not what it seems It be hanging by a thread don't fall apart at the seams [Chorus] When I was down bad ain't nobody around You never know how heavy the crown Made mistakes on my way, feel I'm letting you down You never know how heavy the crown All alone with my fears, regrets and my doubts You never know how heavy the crown Even thought about quitting but, how do that sound You never know how heavy the crown
