Blu aka Godlee Barnes - Crowns lyrics

[ Verse 1 ] I told 'raach I need a crown He gave me ????? 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 n***as 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 [ Verse 2 ] 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 f** you doing with a prada bag, trick? Can't b**h 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 sh**'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 [ Verse 3 ] 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 f** blu I'mma paint the town you Left home like, you can have my throne, and my crown too
