Crown
Flatbush ZOMBiES Lyrics

I've been gloomin' and doomin' so long
I have been feeling sad and hopeless for a long time

I don't think I can carry on down, this long and winding road now
I don't think I can continue on this difficult journey

Can't you see that doom's been gloomin' too long?
Can't you see that despair has been around for too long?

But I don't doubt we can stick it out, so when you hold me, hold me closer
But I believe we can persevere, so when you hold me, hold me tighter

Severed is the head that wears the crown
Those in positions of power often face serious consequences, including losing their lives

Bleedin' for people to see these stars
Striving for recognition and fame

I'm needed in cities, large
I am important to people in big cities

Look down, tote out
Look down and bring out your possessions

Break down these walls
Break down the barriers that stand in our way

A stupid man could evolve
Even less intelligent people have the ability to change and improve

Losers told me I wouldn't be on the Earth for this long
People who failed in life tried to bring me down with their negative predictions

My resurgence was strong, what do I do this for?
I had a powerful comeback, what motivates me to keep going?

Gotta relieve, gotta release, everything beautiful
I need to let go and appreciate all the good things in life

My fabric needs, kiss my niece, money don't soothe the soul
My family and personal relationships are more important than money

Ain't nobody perfect anyway, mama poured a glass of Minute-Maid
No one is flawless, even my mom drinks cheap juice sometimes

Rid me from the evils that await, the ones I gotta say
Protect me from the dangers that are coming, those that I must speak about

We could start a commotion
We have the power to create a disturbance

We can't help it, it's perpetual motion (motion)
We can't stop, it's a constant cycle

It's just a drop in the ocean (drop in the ocean)
Our actions are insignificant in the larger scheme of things

My crown of thorns in the city of roses, yeah
I am suffering in a beautiful, yet dangerous environment

But it feels so right
Although it's difficult, it feels like the correct path

Real music's still with it, fake niggas don't get on
Authentic music is still relevant, fake people are not welcome

Just a message to myself, mirror, mirror, on the wall
A reminder to myself to reflect and be honest

This that Arc, Portugal., Meechy Dark, just go off
This type of music is powerful and energizing

This my destiny written on the wall, played my part
My fate is predetermined, I have already fulfilled my role

No one gets out alive, so we live like we already died
We are all going to eventually die, so we should make the most out of life

No one will ever understand but the sky
No one will fully comprehend my experiences except for the universe

Sometimes it's just hard to focus with these voices inside the mind
It's difficult to concentrate when there are so many thoughts in your head

I'm a demon to some, I'm an angel to others
People have differing opinions about my character

Gotta die for what you love or love until it kills you
You should be willing to die for what you love, or love so much that it consumes you

Don't be the type to talk about shit and not live it
Don't be a hypocrite and not follow through with your words

I manifested every single one of my visions
I made all of my dreams come true through determination and hard work

So I only blame myself when I don't make it to the finish
I hold myself accountable for my failures

Please don't let this perception become your reflection
Don't allow others' ideas of you to influence how you see yourself

Uh, but excuse my aggression 'cause my tribe called for questions
Sorry for being forceful, but my group wants answers

If I'm made in God's image, tell me why am I blemished?
If God created me, why am I not perfect?

Simple question, huh, quite perplexin'
It seems like a simple question, but it's actually very confusing

Them snakes will say they love you but hate you, that's type deceptive
People who pretend to care about you but actually don't are tricky and deceitful

My voice a controlled substance, ingest this
My words have power, listen to them and take them in

Might fuck around and fail your drug test, reckless
My words are so potent that they might make you test positive for drugs, be careful
