SnowFlake Black – Heavy Lies The Crown lyrics

When all is gone, what's left is a new beginning

Verse 1
Kicked in like I'm schooled in Shaolin
My Tao is verbal, quick in life to wipe my spit with style towels
Stack up pages so high, they rival towers
Til they stand so tall they cut the clouds
And sway above the rain showers
I have no formation settled, no conquered foundation I stand at,
I be the rap nomad - rap my feet
In touch with my inner-feminine side
No period where cycle of flow ain't fluid - bleed on every pad I grab
Get the point til it stabs you like a jabber dabbed from Brutus
Seize the opportunity to kill the Caesar in me
The tired Tyrant in me, looks to hire help,
But then he fires em, because they can't realize
How deep his demons get
Heavy lies the crown, deception all around the head
Makes him test the waters of his destiny - bless em
Absolution for his enemies - best em
Catch em off guard and then "en guard"
I'm in mode to make the world my humble abode

Chorus
Lights
Lights go down
Through the streets they roam
Lost where they belong
Come and rise to lead them home

Verse 2
A crown worth is weighed in burdens.
So much power you lone - some ‘til you’re by yourself
And you can buy yourself
Skipped around like bitches on you, watch power switch on you
Like battery, happy to beat your britches ‘til its loses
Energy, switch to Single A
Cause you alone in your grade
Happy to denigrate the hierarchy you made
Hired out the best liars aspiring for your name
They disintegrate your loyalty in royalty,
A kingdom is weighed not on land but in people
They seek establishment, habitants who Want their habitat established
Like a schism seeks a baptism, delivers faith on a plate
To get ate up like number 9

Verse 3
Its now more than ever
With how they pour the feathers of a chicken down the throats of men
And dare to say they came from angels.
Stuff us until we're strangled
We learn the pertinence in earning permanent praise won’t save a man
Facing himself
We see the kings of lands lost, hands tossed
Sprawled across people's hopes to see where they belong
So you people seeing the brightest of stars fade in the sky and wonder
Why, know they died well before you could see their shine of lights

So the people keeping their reasons for meeting in secret
To discuss the bust of what's discussing
Oh kings hold out your palms to the pawns, so we can move as one
Lead you home
