[VERSE 1: Noah Caine]
Nas told me that the world is mine
I'm here to say that I don't want certain parts of it
They're saying I'm the ghetto representative
Like I ain't spitting from the motherf**ing heart of it
A man's got to stand on his own two
And be willing to finish it if he's ready to start something
I'm ridiculous when I'm painting a masterpiece
Piece it together so unique you feel my heart pumping
I heard time waits for no man
And no man should ever try and be his Old Man
I seen Saints wash the pain with their own hands
Then embrace fiends and demons k**ing their own land
This is breakfast before you leave on an exodus
I shine, grapple philosophies like a wrestler
I'll bring it all to you, and never fall back
Cause opportunity knocks, but never calls back
[Hook: Noah Caine]
They're saying that I got them open
It's time to shut it down
They say I gave the ghetto hope and
They're giving me The Crown
Presidential suites for the weekend
Me and my soldiers keep street dreaming
Controlling our zone still creeping
Eyes on the money still eating
We here...
[VERSE 2: Noah Caine]
They're calling for the rebels of the revolution
Cameras shooting, soon they'll capture the evolution
I'm living proof that we've mastered a craft, scratched and looped it
One time for the foundation that kept me moving (You)
The City never sleeps so I'm street dreaming
Thieves scheming, speech deepen with each season
They preach treason then turn around and sell us hope
They choke funding in the schools and show your kids dope
Through the years God took kings
And I politicked with OG's trying to give advice from jail
They told me that the dollar is the Devil's baby
So I'll earn money 'til my pockets looking nice as Hell
Product moving leaving personas paralyzed
Put a n***as torso in a coffin leave him sterilized
Tongue venomous and spitting words acidic
So believe me that the power we don't got
We gon' get it with The Crown
[Hook: Noah Caine]
They're saying that I got them open
It's time to shut it down
They say I gave the ghetto hope and
They're giving me The Crown
Presidential suites for the weekend
Me and my soldiers keep street dreaming
Controlling our zone still creeping
Eyes on the money still eating
We here...
[VERSE 3: Noah Caine]
I'm hearing team work makes the dream work
So every n***as dreams that we shattered made they team hurt
And in between smirking and working with fiends
I retained the image of the Elohim on this green Earth
Surviving the times rally the troops and
Make a move on the front line and leave a blueprint
I got guerrillas with, paraphernalia
Familiar with rhetoric of Malcolm on the pulpit
I do this for my momma and she loves that
Cause she gave birth to a f**ing go-getter
They're telling me that I'm the second coming
I say nah I'm the first coming of something way better
Everybody pay their dues, it's a cold world
Heat them up now they're falling like a domino
And yeah a Young Simba is a cool cat
But I bring the thunder so I'm more like a Lion-O
And when it's all said and done we up now
It's Steady to the d**h and we're above ground
Basquiat, with a microphone
Gems sitting on my brow, watch a king spit a poem
For The Crown
[Hook: Noah Caine]
They're saying that I got them open
It's time to shut it down
They say I gave the ghetto hope and
They're giving me The Crown
Presidential suites for the weekend
Me and my soldiers keep street dreaming
Controlling our zone still creeping
Eyes on the money still eating
We here...
