CHIKA – Crown lyrics

[Intro]
Can't let (Can't let)
Nobody take (Take)
Take (Take), take (Take)
Take my crown (Take)
Can't let (Can't let)
Nobody take (Take)
Take (Take), take (Take)
Take my crown (Take)

[Verse 1]
Cold hand, sharp pencil
I scribbled a stanza
As my hands are trembling
Grade seven, made Heaven, out of words
I began to build a world that only I inhabit
I got a habit of rapping 'bout tragic sh-
I think I'm just passionate
Tryna steer the way while in the dark
Hope I ain't crashin' it (Woah)
Now my little hobby turned to cashin' out
Thinking 'bout who I'd be if I listened to doubt
Said I'd never do it, well look at me now
Young girl, old dream
Old soul, oh dear
Plan B, plan well
Good luck, no fear
Just wait and God will tell you when the time's near
But if I never jump then I die here
They don't ride 'til you pick up speed
They think college is all you need (Woah)
And I don't blame your brainwashin' on you, G
It took me nineteen years to finally start to believe
And that's me, listen

[Chorus]
I'ma make it in the rain or shine
All about my money, don't waste my time
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
I'm on an elevator
I'm on to something greater
Ain't nobody gonna take my crown

[Verse 2]
Okay
This is for the kids with depression
The one's whose parental expectations got them stressin' (Woah)
The one's who would rather persevere, bust they ass, tryna make it 'cause-
They ain't really livin' in the present
They out here grindin', seekin' perfect timin'
Tunin' out the useless voices that discourage rhymin'
"Get a real job!"
I don't argue with my destiny
And if my choices don't affect you, why you testin' me?
And as of late, I been askin' God, why He blessin' me
I could cry enough tears to fill the chesapeake
Hold it together, girl
You deserve the world and if no one else will say it
Then I'll spit it to the mic in the studio when I lay it
Now play it when you discouraged
I know chasin' the impossible take some courage
And I can promise at the end of your journey
When it's all said and done
Won't nothin' feel much better then hearin', "My nigga, you won"
Aye!

[Chorus]
I'ma make it in the rain or shine
All about my money, don't waste my time (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down (Bring me down, no)
I'm on an elevator
I'm on to something greater
Ain't nobody gonna take my crown (Ain't nobody gonna take my crown)

[Outro]
Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Listen
God is always blessin' me
Tears could fill the chesapeake
Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Listen
God is always blessin' me
Tears could fill the chesapeake
Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
Oh (Oh-oh, oh)
