Crown (Clean) |
I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
King of New York? |
Nah, now how that shit sound |
King of the coast? |
Nah, I cover more grounds |
King of oneself? |
Yeah, that’s how I get down |
Yeah, my skin brown, that’s the melanin |
Ha, I’m wearing it proud, it ain’t no telling when |
Ha, they might come screaming irrelevant |
Ha, he gunned the kid down and plant the evidence |
But I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
Descended from Kings and Queens and we don’t know what it means |
Turn the palace to the projects and shatter our steam |
But I’m here to let it be known, no matter the scene |
They can’t take royalty from your being |
It’s embedded in your DNA and your genes, thousand dollar sneakers and jeans |
You could invest in yourself and your dreams |
Is you hearing me now? |
The pedestal folks letting you down |
Since James Brown said «I'm black and I’m proud» |
They been pumping us with the opposite |
Ah, dividing and conquer, it’s pretty obvious |
Ah, misled and misguided, this shit monotonous |
Ah, my Kings and my Queens, show ‘em how loud it gets |
‘Cause I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
It comes in many forms and many colors is worn |
Same hoodie as Trayvon and gray like when Freddie was born |
This energy here is more than this song |
So if you feeling it, then sing it along |
Go |
I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
I ain’t here for playing around, I wear the crown |
Na’tee |
The smarter, the harder the battle |
Classism, blacks prisoned and slaughtered like cattle |
Divide and conquer, is the modern mantra |
Put you in front of your honor before your mama could buy you your first Tonka |
The Erics, the Sandras, the little Aiyanas |
Huh, turned into hashtags, shit feeling like Baghdad |
Because of my pigment, I swear the shit is ridiculous |
Living in these conditions, it’s hard to duck a conviction |
Misinterpret religion, discourage courage and vision |
Teach us that we were slaves and never 'bout our position |
As royals, subconsciously destroying our esteem |
Kings and Queens, don’t let the system scissor your dreams |
