Crown
Rapsody Lyrics

Hey, hey you there
Hey, I'm talking to you

Where's your crown?
Do you know who you are? Do you value yourself?

You didn't leave the house without your crown did you?
Don't forget your worth, no matter where you go

Just as sure as the earth is round we bounce back up when they throw us down
No matter how hard life gets, we can always rise again

So don't forget your crown
Always remember your worth and hold your head high

And hold your head high, like you caught a glimpse of God through the clouds and you stuck in awe
Hold your head high with the same wonder and awe as if you saw God

Don't worry we got y'all
Don't worry, we are all in this together

Mind and body, body and mind, tell 'em homies
We need to take care of our minds and bodies, and encourage others to do the same

The world is bigger than your street and mine and that colour and this And every shade of our skin is rich
The world is diverse and full of different cultures and skin colors, all of which are valuable

Knowing your future depends on our involvement
We all have a responsibility to make the world a better place for future generations

So, block boys, block boys, it's in our hands more than Parliament
We have the power to change our communities more than the government does

The gun can kill or the gun can save, rather congratulate a stage than carry him to a grave
We should celebrate the success of others, instead of resorting to violence

That's responsibility, my brother's keeper, my sister's big sister
We all have a responsibility to take care of each other

Life full of limits we just gotta add a little sugar to, to those sweet dreams
Life can be challenging, but we can make it a little sweeter by pursuing our dreams and adding some positivity

You can be anything, go further than me, be better than him, climb higher than her
You have the potential to excel in life and achieve greatness

And never ever let em knock your crown, that's my word
Don't let anyone make you feel like you're not valuable or worthy

I lied to momma one time when I was eleven
The artist is admitting to a moment of dishonesty in their past

Riding in the car she told me "Summer won't forget it
The singer recalled a moment with their mother and a lesson she taught them

Truth 'gon chase the light no matter what night that you set it"

I'm setting peaks for you and them I hope you roll off

Million black graduates, woo! Just go and show off

Reaching out to everyone from the top of the block y'all

I know there's power in my time I know there's power in a verse

Tell a kid good job and tell him go hard on the work

You know the world you grew up in is very small compared to Earth

It's the worst they lied and told you your limits on the future
The singer acknowledges that people have been misled into thinking they have limited potential

Y'all can brush it off though, came back around and groom ya
The singer encourages listeners to reject limiting beliefs and to grow and develop

If life ain't a ruse, rule whatever you dream you can do, do

They tell me I'm a queen!
