lyrics

Heavy-handed and I got the crown to match it too
They say heavy is the head, who Imma pass it to?
A bunch of big heads with no gratitude is fun for who?
They wanna watch the throne but they can’t even run the jewels

I’m steady clockin’ who the ones that’s gonna watch for you
And if you did me dirty we gon take a shot for you
I wanna lead with love but lead is all I got for you
I heard Karma was callin’ tell ‘em to patch her through

I wasn’t always like this, I was the nicest
The one to call when I was all you had up in a crisis
When you was scared of loose lips, I was the tight fist
And if you didn’t know your worth I made you priceless

The backstory is the facts, shorty, nothing more
That’s also what I got to give, man my heart is sore
I’m steady pourin out and pourin up for rich or poor
Not realizing what the portion missing from me’s for

The crown I earned it, but lessons were learnt
Bridges got crossed and built, destroyed and burnt
I spent days upon days tryna know my worth
And asking God why He put me on this trash ass earth

But I think back, way back
Whether or not you believe
Not the man in the middle
I’m talkin bout two thieves,
That even saddled next to greatness they could not believe
That they’d be destined for the same fate as royalty

Might be blasphemous but I feel like the two is me
I be right next to the fame and still be like “this ain’t me”
That I would even try to situate with peers so dope
My crown be hangin by a thread steady hangin on hope

What if I was right next to the greatest
And instead of just
Lookin at the GOAT I saw a man just like the rest of us?
Not caught up in appearances
Only the interior
Had to face my fears and recognize I’m not inferior

Cause what’s a warrior to a woman who
been through it all?
And what’s a saint to a sinner who get up when they fall?
You can shame me today and be shamed tomorrow
The crown don’t come with instructions, just some stress and sorrow

This industry done gave me vinegar to drown in
Damn near segregated and gave us our own fountain
But if King had a dream, then Pho got a crown
And no matter who’s up, I ain’t never puttin it down

Like that
