CROWN
CHIKA Lyrics

Can't let (can't let)
I won't let anyone

Nobody take (take)
Take away from me

Take (take), take (take)
Take, take

Take my crown (take)
The crown that belongs to me

Cold hand, sharp pencil
I'm writing from a place of intensity

I scribbled a stanza
I spill my emotions onto the paper

As my hands are trembling
I put my all into my craft

Grade seven, made heaven out of words
I found relief and solace in writing

I began to build a world that only I inhabit
I created a world where I could be myself

I got a habit of rapping 'bout tragic shit
I express my deepest fears and emotions through my music

I think I'm just passionate
I do what I do out of love

Tryna steer the way while in the dark
I'm trying to find my way despite the challenges

Hope I ain't crashin' it (whoa)
I hope I'm not failing

Now my little hobby turned to cashin' out
My passion is now my livelihood

Thinking 'bout who I'd be if I listened to doubt
I didn't let others discourage me

Said I'd never do it, well, look at me now
I proved them wrong

Young girl, old dream
I have a dream that I've had since I was young

Old soul, oh dear
I'm wise beyond my years

Plan B, plan well
I have a backup plan

Good luck, no fear
I wish myself luck and have no fear

Just wait and God'll tell you when the time's near
I rely on faith to guide me

But if I never jump then I die here
If I don't take risks, I won't succeed

They don't ride 'til you pick up speed
People won't support you until you succeed

They think college is all you need (whoa)
Society places too much value on degrees

And I don't blame your brainwashin' on you, G
I don't blame individuals for societal pressure

It took me nineteen years to finally start to believe
It took a while for me to stop doubting myself

And that's me, listen
This is my story

I'ma make in the rain or shine
Regardless of the circumstance, I will succeed

All about my money, don't waste my time
I'm focused on making money

Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
Nobody can stop me

I'm on an elevator
I'm headed up in life

I'm onto something greater
I have big plans for my future

Okay
Let me tell you something

This is for the kids with depression
My message is for those struggling with depression

The one's whose parental expectations got them stressin' (whoa)
Kids who are stressed due to high parental expectations

The one's who would rather persevere, bust they ass, tryna make it
Those who work hard to achieve their dreams

They out here grindin', seekin' perfect timin'
They're working hard to find their moment

Tunin' out the useless voices that discourage rhymin'
They ignore the negative voices that discourage them from pursuing their passions

Get a real job
People don't see music as a 'real' job

I don't argue with my destiny
I believe that music is my destiny

And if my choices don't affect you, why you testin' me?
I don't understand why people who aren't affected by my choices would try to bring me down

And as of late, I been askin' God, why he blessin' me
I don't take my success for granted and thank God for it

I could cry enough tears to fill the chesapeake
I'm very emotional about my success

Hold it together, girl
I need to keep it together and stay focused

You deserve the world and if no one else will say it
I believe I deserve success even if others don't recognize it

Then I'll spit it to the mic in the studio when I lay it
I'll express my emotions through my music

Now play it when you discouraged
Listen to my music when you're feeling down

I know chasin' the impossible take some courage
Pursuing your dreams requires bravery

And I can promise at the end of your journey
I can guarantee that after pursuing your dreams

When it's all said and done
In the end

Won't nothin' feel much better then hearin', "My nigga, you won"
Nothing will feel better than being recognized for your hard work

God is always blessin' me
I feel blessed by God

Tears could fill the chesapeake
I'm very emotional about my success

Oh (oh-oh, oh)
Uh-huh

Oh (oh-oh, oh)
Uh-huh

Oh (oh-oh, oh)
Uh-huh

Oh (oh-oh, oh)
Uh-huh
