Noah Caine - The Crown lyrics
[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...
