Throne in the Concrete

Lyrics

[Intro] Heavy crown Heavy day Concrete cracks Clearing way (yeah) [Verse 1] Marching through the grey brick Scuffed shoes, same route, same district Heartbeat syncing with the kick drum Whole life packed in a chipped cup, sip some Old heads yelling from the bench, "Boy, listen" You a king in a system that missed him Steam from the sewer like a battle cry Breath in the cold, see the doubt float by [Chorus] Throne in the concrete I rise when the block sleeps Head high in the hard rain I was built for the dark days Throne in the concrete Dust off what tried to stop me Every crack underneath my feet Spells my name when the drums hit (hey!) [Verse 2] Momma said pray with your fists down But the world only hear you when you spit now Notebook tucked in a worn-out coat Whole hood humming in the bars I wrote Sirens sing sharp in the nighttime Streetlight halo on the wrong crime Still I step like a brass line marching Dreams so loud got the sky all startled [Chorus] Throne in the concrete I rise when the block sleeps Head high in the hard rain I was built for the dark days Throne in the concrete Dust off what tried to stop me Every crack underneath my feet Spells my name when the drums hit (oh yeah)
