Corner Store Crown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came up on the block with a paper cup One eye on the door, two hands up Lunch break hustle, no trust, all grit Got a dented blue car and a full tank fit Mama said, "Son, move clean, move wise" So I stack little wins till the day look wide No velvet rope, just a bent tin key Still I turn that lock like it was made for me I don’t talk big, I just show up loud Hairline sharp, whole room go proud If they want my seat, then they better bring more 'Cause I built this chair from the floor to the core [Pre-Chorus] Count my steps Hear that click Too far now To quit this [Chorus] Corner store crown I wear it down Corner store crown Watch me now I came from less Made it my sound Corner store crown Won't bow down [Verse 2] Late train home with a bag full of change Same old block, but my name got range Used to dodge doubt in the cracked-up hall Now they call my phone when the pressure call I learned quick, every scar got a map Every bad day tried to fold my cap But I stood in the storm with a calm look still Like a little cheap watch with a heavy steel will You can keep the shine and the big pretend I need real ones 'round me, not a hundred friends When the night gets loud and the room gets cold I go back to that corner and I stand ten-toed [Pre-Chorus] Count my steps Hear that click Too far now To quit this [Chorus] Corner store crown I wear it down Corner store crown Watch me now I came from less Made it my sound Corner store crown Won't bow down [Bridge] No silver spoon Just a stubborn heart Made my own lane In a broken cart If they ask how I got this far Say I kept it real From the start [Chorus] Corner store crown I wear it down Corner store crown Watch me now I came from less Made it my sound Corner store crown Won't bow down
