Heavy Crown
[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
