Corner Store Crown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came in with a ten and a plan Folded in my palm, learned to stand where I stand Mom said, "Move smart, keep your head on high" I said, "Watch me turn these crumbs to a whole new sky" Back of the line, but I never stayed stuck Wore these scuffed-up shoes, still I walked with luck If you know my name, you know the grind don't sleep Every scar on my hands got a story to keep [Pre-Chorus] Now they call when the room gets cold Now they watch when I move that slow I been hungry, I been low Still I shine when the pressure show [Chorus] Corner store crown I wear it proud now Corner store crown I got it from the ground I was broke, now I bounce Same hood, new sound Corner store crown Say it loud now [Verse 2] Counted loose change on a cracked-up seat Mama made magic with the last two beats I learned early: don't talk, just build Put faith in my chest and a cut-up will Old friends say, "Man, you switched up quick" Nah, I just leveled when the ceiling split From the hallway echo to the packed-out room Same hard face, just a bigger bloom [Pre-Chorus] Now they call when the room gets cold Now they watch when I move that slow I been hungry, I been low Still I shine when the pressure show [Chorus] Corner store crown I wear it proud now Corner store crown I got it from the ground I was broke, now I bounce Same hood, new sound Corner store crown Say it loud now [Bridge] No silver plate, no hand-me-down Had to lift my weight off the same dirt ground If you see me smile, know the work was real Every win on my face got a paper-cut feel [Chorus] Corner store crown I wear it proud now Corner store crown I got it from the ground I was broke, now I bounce Same hood, new sound Corner store crown Say it loud now
