Blu - Crowns lyrics

I told 'raach I need a crown
He gave me chakra wisdom for
The third eyebrow and now
Well spoken and wrote like a true poet
Felt heroic at first and get your hearse
I was born again
Like the church say to rope em in
Praise god down on earth rocking gold skin
Letting my ego go again
Trying to make space for my soul within
Somebody told me then i said I'm getting in
You smell the tortoise and the hare
Tale up in the air

Bed hair, used to toss tails in the air
Taught some heads how to
Get ahead of billionaires
No feelings but the thrill is there
And no shilling for the children's care
It's just chitlins for the niggas there
You know? learned to swim scared
I'm just making more noise to fill
A void that isn't there i swear
Gods rock gems kings rock gold
And hoes buy ice for the price of their soul
They say keep what you know
It increases as you grow like interest
So invest in more crowns

I told joe I need a crown
He said visualize a price before
You shout the prize out
Nevermind a mind in doubt
Found out when I shouted out
"the king has arrived" but got crucified
I wonder who's next losing line pompous
Like I heard his conscious ain't true as mine
Pow! shot down for such a stupid line
Remind me of the dude in the
Mirror that used to rhyme my mind clear
Divine sight to overstand knowledge
By acknowledging life
It's like molding this globe
It takes both hands
I balance planets on my fingertips
Looking back at life like I'm old, damn
Hipping kids to my old plans
Like if the master asks have you seen
The coats just say no and dance
Picking cotton is the easiest
Job I've ever gotten

It's like throwing products in
The shopping bag
Fuck you doing with a prada bag, trick?
Can't bitch cause I'm bout to buy
My dad a jag right quick
Tight grip on the mic
Give a shout to my ancestors
For living their life
Walking over cloverfield like shit's
Starting to feel right
Rebuilding then chill drunk can't wait
Till my kingdom comes young child, smile
You think I'm grinning now
Just picture me in a crown

I told my mom I need a crown
She said put your head down and
Picked the thorn out my scalp
I smiled like I seen her now
Like I smiled on the culture so bare
With the essence I had to bow
Proud to be where I was found on the ground
Still feeling like I'm in the clouds
Haven't smoked for a while cause my
Highs had me feeling down
When I'm around crowds can't seem
To hide behind the frown
I even tried to be like a
Clown and paint my face on
And keep my faith strong in a
Movement that got their brakes on
But why make songs

Eight long years spitting spins with a cape
On and couldn't even save J barnes
Let alone those hoping for somebody to give
Them some soul over this okey doke
And when you blow don't
Forget about the people
They thought I sold my soul but
I just sold them my ego
Counted my change, realized it wasn't equal
Doubted my name until the
Game became my easel fuck blu
I'mma paint the town you
Left home like, you can have my throne
And my crown too
