Paper Crown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I woke up early, shoes untied Still got smoke from the last hard night Rent due, phone low, mind still high But I got one thing money can't buy A little fire in my chest right here Keeps me moving when the path looks clear Mama said, "Boy, don't wait on fate" So I write my name on the iron gate Every scar got a story in it Every loss made the line more vivid I don't fold, I don't fake that grin I just build from the place I've been [Pre-Chorus] One step, then two I keep that truth If you want the view Climb through No more "someday" I'm on my way Say what you say I won't stray [Chorus] Chasing my dream Chasing my dream I keep my feet On the break of the scream Chasing my dream Chasing my dream I want more than luck I want what I mean (what I mean) [Verse 2] Late train home and my bag light Still I see that finish line bright I got friends who laugh, then they back that talk And a few fake smiles when the rent come knock I learned fast, keep my circle tight Keep my head down, let the work speak right Little wins stack up like bricks Now the whole damn wall got my fingerprints I been the underdog, I been the doubt I been the one they tried to talk out Now I move like the door done cracked And I won't go back, I won't go back [Pre-Chorus] One step, then two I keep that truth If you want the view Climb through No more "someday" I'm on my way Say what you say I won't stray [Chorus] Chasing my dream Chasing my dream I keep my feet On the break of the scream Chasing my dream Chasing my dream I want more than luck I want what I mean (what I mean) [Bridge] If I fall, I learn If I burn, I turn Every no I heard Just made me earn Hands up, I see it now Head high, I breathe it now One life, I need it now I'm coming down? Never now [Final Chorus] Chasing my dream Chasing my dream I keep my feet On the break of the scream Chasing my dream Chasing my dream I want more than luck I want what I mean (what I mean) Chasing my dream Chasing my dream I hear that call And I answer clean (answer clean)
