Crown Heavy

Lyrics

The crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crow-n The crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crow-n But I never let it weigh me down — I been chosen (beat drop — harder this time) Y'all still sleepin' — I been wide awake This ain't a preview, this is my coronation day The crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crow-n The crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crow-n The crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crow-n Yeah I'm the princess of the queen — and the throne's my own --- [Verse 3 — Nicki Minaj] (starts with the British accent, then switches) Ayo — they said "Nicki, you lettin' the baby shine?" I said "babies grow to queens, now watch her realign" I'm the blueprint, the barcode, the Barbie, the boss She the extension of the throne that I built — no loss I been doin' this since they was burnin' CDs Now my seed spittin' fire — yeah, she got the disease The ambition, the vision, the hunger, the knack She got the same venom I keep in the back Of my Louis, my Birkins, my empire state She ain't just my daughter — she my legacy, mate (American voice) So don't get it twisted, don't play with the name Onika's the queen, but the princess is game She ain't borrowin' my crown, she just studied the fit Now she buildin' her own and she killin' the kit Tell 'em stand up when she walk in the room 'Cause the heir to the throne? Yeah, she goin' boom (singsong) And if you thought I was nice, wait 'til you see her Two generations of queens — yeah, we the premiere Barbie, out. --- [Bridge — Daughter] (beat strips down, vulnerable) I used to wonder if I'd ever be enough If the world would see me past her name and all the love But I realized something sitting in the dark You don't run from the fire — you learn to own the spark I'm her daughter, and I'm proud to wear the name But I'm writing my own chapter in this hall of fame --- [Final Chorus — Daughter, then Both] The crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crow-n The crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crow-n The crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crow-n But I never let it weigh me down — I been chosen (beat drop — biggest one yet) I ain't next in line — I'm a whole new lane Princess of the queen, but I'm breaking the chain Y'all still sleepin' — I been wide awake This ain't a preview, this is my coronation day The crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crow-n The crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crow-n The crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crown heavy, the crow-n
