Blueprint - King No Crown lyrics
[Blueprint - King No Crown lyrics]
I wrote this in a coffee
Shop watching all the traffic
Waiting on a COTA bus ordered up a sandwich
Amazed by your melody blasting
In my headphones familiar song played to me
Feeling still unknown
Past leading everywhere nowhere at
The same time
Enough to spark insanity inside
The most sane mind
Jealous of the birds cause God
Gave them the skies
So we built a machine now man learns to fly
You can fly too if the right price is paid
Do away with the bird put his ass in a cage
But even in the cage still finds time to sing
It testify to the beauty that
The new day bring
They say that truth hurts well
Half truth still sting
If life is a bitch I’m
Still giving her a ring
Never more sure this is where
I’m supposed to be
I’m the youngest out of four momma
Could have stopped at three
But everything around us in the
Way that we define it
Is the blink of an eye or
The wand who designed it
English, Geometry, Mathematics, Chemistry
Computer Science, Engineering, Medicine
Dentistry
Taught in a classroom passed out of history
Man made disciplines for
Living more efficiently
Concrete monuments erected more frequently
Man stands in awe of his
Perfect sense of symmetry
Great Walls of China, Pyramids of Egypt
Build it, destroy it, pass it on
Then repeat it
Above and beyond the really need it
The peak means nothing to us once
We get to reach it
Parks and recreation, roadways and industry
A city now sit's where the nature
Used to live in peace
Subject indigenous to genocide and slaughter
I’m living in a village named
In that man’s honor
Southside Columbus my neighborhood is decent
But every single factory is here for a reason
Can’t prove a thing but believe
Me that I feel it
As real as the toxins in the
Air when I breathe it
I want success so bad that I can barely sleep
It’s hard to count sheep when
You’re thinking about beats
Thinking about greatness not
Thinking about beef
Y’all need to do the same
And stop thinking about me
I value time too much to
Be around certain people
Let ‘em pad each other on the
Back and stroke each other’s ego
Take all the credit for success
That might meet you
But when the blame is passed they
Don’t wanna share that equal
People say anything I try not to sweat it
Respect myself too much to put
They names on my record
I never owned a gun God gave me other weapons
Cause the strength of any weapon
Doesn’t rest in the weapon
And my weapon is my message
That’s where the power found
A jewel for you fools who
Wonder how I’m still around
Leader of many men, king with no crown
Emerged from the wilderness headed
Back to town
Rejected his birth right, ran away from home
But he the only one can pull
The sword from the stone
And be the best ruler that his city ever know
So until I’m overthrown I’m gonna
Be here on the thrown and I’m gone!
Shop watching all the traffic
Waiting on a COTA bus ordered up a sandwich
Amazed by your melody blasting
In my headphones familiar song played to me
Feeling still unknown
