Royalty
Down with Webster Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Addicted to the lights and sounds
A bunch of bad habits and you wear 'em like a crown
Your royalty around here better get down
Your royalty around here better get down
Addicted to the lights and the sounds and the flashes
Trashes for best friends back stage passes
Cheap vodka and three sodas got her leaned over
So driven she don't need chauffeurs
And if you're not VIP then give up
If she's above the bar that's a chin up
And getting lit up's the only thing that's relevant
When all that's in your closet is designer or a skeleton
Full time women in this bitch no part time
Stickin to the drinks like bar lines
Down's them now you're in the royalty
Life of the party don't question her loyalty
Playin all night games
Every day's the same
Pull out the red carpet for the walk of shame
Nothin' to loose but a lot to gain
Same yeah you know her name royalty let her reign

The crown it lies and it won't fall
Baby stand tall
You can have it all ohh
The crown it lies and it won't fall
Lookin for a bottle
You can have 'em all
You can have them all
You can have them all
You don't wait in line
People wait in line for 'em
Props to promoters sayin he's with the owner
Don't play poker what she can hold them aces
Spades, got a couple waitin'
In the palace with a chalice of patron
Bottle be accepted food be thrown
And guys talk shit while the girls eyes watch it
He on some pride rock shit
He had a flashin' of life
Fast girls and late nights
Every night's the same
Bottle's of champagne
Girl with the song on
Singin in the rain
Everybody's leavin now money ain't a thing
'Cause we ain't got a frame cuz we never played for it
Ha just play it for us and he play it for us
So them cups are never empty when everybody thirsty
She walk the red carpet til it's dirty

The crown it lies and it won't fall
Baby stand tall
You can have it all ohh
The crown it lies and it won't fall
Lookin for a bottle
You can have 'em all
You can have them all
You can have them all

You gotta give your blood
She'll learn it on the streets
Now baby it's your next
Now every body's gotta eat
You're better off alone
You're better off than me
When everytime I'm gone I'm everything you need
You got it on your face
It's painted on the walls
You're looking for a bottle but you can have them all
You said it all before
You fast for the feast
Atleast I care and you can get least

The crown it lies and it won't fall
Baby stand tall
You can have it all ohh
The crown it lies and it won't fall
Lookin for a bottle
You can have 'em all
You can have them all
You can have them all

The crown it lies and it won't fall
Baby stand tall
You can have it all ohh
The crown it lies and it won't fall
Lookin for a bottle
You can have 'em all
You can have them all
You can have them all

Addicted to the lights and sounds
A bunch of bad habits and you wear 'em like a crown




Your royalty around here better get down
Your royalty around here better get down

Oh my god, these guys were so underrated. I grew up listening to their music and listening to it now brings back so many memories.

Sola Fleur

It always blew my mind how this never picked up in the U.S. It's seriously a perfect single for radio.

Canadians-Please tell me this got airplay in your neck of the woods? 😭

Doctor Kira

It didn't pick up in the U.S. because it actually has meaning and a point to it. Y'know, that shit regular hip hop used to have.

Brandon Prelutsky

Canadian. Love this song!

Chris Xavier

Becca Cala

Cole Paterson
