Crown歌词

[00:02.03]Hey, hey you there - where's your crown?
[00:08.82]You didn't leave the house without your crown did you?
[00:11.96]Just as sure as the earth is round
[00:13.84]We bounce back up when they throw us down
[00:16.03]So don't forget your crown
[00:18.46]And hold your head high
[00:20.37]Like you caught a glimpse of God through the clouds
[00:22.51]And you stuck in awe
[00:23.92]Don't worry we got y'all
[00:25.91]Mind and body, body and mind, tell 'em homies
[00:28.91]The world is bigger than your street and mine
[00:30.92]And that colour and this
[00:32.44]And every shade of our skin is rich
[00:34.69]Knowing your future depends on our involvement
[00:37.43]So, block boys, block boys
[00:40.59]It's in our hands more than Parliament
[00:43.28]The gun can kill or the gun can save
[00:45.47]Rather congratulate a stage than carry him to a grave
[00:47.77]That's responsibility
[00:49.91]My brother's keeper
[00:51.12]My sister's big sister
[00:52.37]Life full of lemons we just gotta add a little sugar to
[00:55.58]To those sweet dreams
[00:57.12]You can be anything
[00:58.72]Go farther than me, be better than him, climb higher than her
[01:01.59]And never ever let em knock your crown, that's my word
[01:04.86]All hands on deck
[01:07.57]Making kings and queens of all cards we dealt
[01:10.71]Jamla, Roc Nation
[01:13.71]Let's go
[01:15.59]
[01:30.87]I lied to mama one time when I was eleven
[01:33.36]Riding in the car she told me something I won't forget it
[01:36.31]Truth gon' chase the light no matter what night that you said it
[01:38.97]It make me feel so low
[01:40.20]She peeled my feelings back like lettuce
[01:41.85]With no salad told me save all of the carriage for the ballads
[01:44.67]Now I'm dropping jewels as if we gave up on the marriage
[01:47.44]I know it's hard to handle we ain't came here in no carriage
[01:50.39]The hood is for the rain
[01:51.54]And where they throw us is the barracks
[01:53.08]Where we learn to master beats without a panther or a ferret
[01:55.93]It came out in the '80s same as me I was a baby
[01:58.98]And what I learned 'bout life is: Lord is sure is not the fairest
[02:01.59]If your skin ain't as fair as all the Beckys, Tiffanys, and Sarahs
[02:04.57]Black don't crack, Obama ain't flinch
[02:07.45]I sat inside that White House having conversations
[02:09.98]How boys turn to men if we show 'em more than the rims
[02:13.01]If they jumping high for the rims
[02:14.42]Ain't a goal that we cannot win
[02:15.70]I'm setting picks for you and them I hope you roll off
[02:18.10]Million black graduates, woo! Just go and show off
[02:20.95]Reaching out to everyone from the top to block y'all
[02:23.98]Lemonade pitchers we grew up with, what's a curve ball?
[02:26.59]Made something out of nothing
[02:27.95]Better out of worse
[02:29.44]Take care of your own
[02:30.83]I know I gotta do that first
[02:32.11]I know there's power in my time
[02:33.52]I know there's power in a verse
[02:35.40]Tell a kid good job and tell him go hard on the work
[02:37.57]You know the world you grew up in is very small compared to Earth
[02:40.52]It's the worst they lied and told you your limits on the future
[02:43.70]Y'all can brush it off though, came back around and groom ya
[02:46.50]Me, Alicia, Talib, Busta, everyone and you ya, agh!
[02:49.43]In life there ain't no rules, rule
[02:52.01]Whatever you dream you can do, do
[02:54.68]They tell me I'm a king!
[02:57.63]They tell me I'm a queen!
[03:00.37]In life there ain't no rules, rule
[03:03.56]Whatever you dream you can do, do
[03:06.07]They tell me I'm a king!
[03:09.10]They tell me I'm a queen!
