CROWN - CHIKA

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

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

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!

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)

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)
