The Crown
Ja Rule (ft. Sizzla) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can be the best
And reach for the top
Nothing less
People will say a lot of bad things about you
Obstacles in your way
Some of dem don’t want to see you strive
But everyday you step up inna life
And keep your crown on your head
Some of dem don’t want to see you strive
Nuff of dem wish to see you dead
But everyday you step up inna life
And keep your crown on your head
I look at life now from a different perspective
Pay attention to much being neglected
Got to give respect if you wanna be respected
I don’t trust the system it’s so defective
Criminal terror, human error, distruction the road to Zion is so narrow
Cops on your trail, governments of your tail,
Do the right thing cause your not here to fail
Believe in yourself
You can be the best
And reach for the top
Nothing less
People will say a lot of bad things about you
Obstacles in your way
Tell You
Jah’s with you, your not all alone
Live with the people like the king on the throne
I’m not your friend because I won’t come down
To your stupidity you got going around
Be careful of the person you permit in your zone
Keep a small circle and protect your crown
A lot of people just wanna see you go down
Not knowing that Jah’s blessings surrounds
Well they only see you fi the money and the power
And not around to help you in your deepest hour
So make use of the greatest chance
When you step out you have to advance
Believe in yourself
You can be the best
And reach for the top
Nothing less
People will say a lot of bad things about you
Obstacles in your way
Some of dem don’t want to see you strive
Nuff of dem wish to see you dead
But everyday you step up inna life
And keep your crown on your head
Some of dem don’t want to see you strive
Nuff of dem wish to see you dead
But everyday you step up inna life
And keep your crown on your head

@Sherman Daniels Ja Rule has always been bubble gum soft trash...... his only saving grace was Irv Gotti being an elite level beat maker! All of Murder Inc's success can be attributed to Irvs beats or Ashanti's looks/gimmick!
