Crown - Lloyd Banks

Uh, too much trauma to count the scars

I laid down the bricks in this house of ours

Bitches mount the stars, every October, there’s monster bars

Fuck an entourage, take your ass back to your mom’s garage

I’m here to stomp the frauds

Blood on my shoes and my outfit’s hard

I need a council card, I’m losin' myself

Two arms to guard, flew through miles of fog

Land where it’s hard to pronounce the broads

All for steady work for hatin'-ass niggas, few thousand jobs

Keep your foul facade, a hundred

A hundred percent to the finish, I hope the entire panel’s critics

Nothin' in common with quitters, check out my analytics

There ain’t no such thing as 'can't', that’s how we handle limits

And wrappin' the work, I cross over to the piano business

Won’t get the steal on me, my handle different

I’ve seen this shit before, the channel’s glitchin'

Follow my manuscriptin'

And money ain’t everything, but need a damn prescription

You niggas can’t be around here without permission

Make it without leavin' your soul

Awareness is the key to control

You fall, get back up, breathe and reload

Tellin' is tellin', fuck the reason he told

Word to the young, wild and reckless, hope you live to be old

Ain’t nothin' like reachin' a goal

They turn on you, they eatin' too slow

Some friends, you gotta leave on the road

The streets’ll hurt you, better leave 'em alone

Unless you ready, he who wears the crown knows it’s heavy (Uh)

All of the losers miss me, therefore my mood is shifty

Talkin' your worth don’t mean a thing, you gotta prove it to me

I need the newest sticky, foreign car that’s doin' sixty

Bought up in this land, the bloodsuckers never get blue when hickeyed

The newest Louis in maroon, I’m picky

The respectable dawgs’ll quit me, the reason none of your rumors fit me

Figured the independent route’ll push the check through

Niggas was quiet, but when your mics weren’t on, they disrespect you

The neighborhood made me special, most comfortable when the temp is risin'

Make classic shit out of nothin', that’s what I specialize in

I pull up, it’s lyrical exercisin'

You’re evil on the inside, it won’t matter, your physical’s mesmerizin'

Nothin' came to me easily, do you believe in me?

Weavin' out of reality, always there when I need to be

Move, don’t let the demons see, I got it on lock

Go key-for-key, ain’t no teachin' me, I been through it all repeatedly

Make it without leavin' your soul

Awareness is the key to control

You fall, get back up, breathe and reload

Tellin' is tellin', fuck the reason he told

Word to the young, wild and reckless, hope you live to be old

Ain’t nothin' like reachin' a goal

They turn on you, they eatin' too slow

Some friends, you gotta leave on the road

The streets’ll hurt you, better leave 'em alone

Unless you ready, he who wears the crown knows it’s heavy
