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 |
