Crowns ft. Hood-Soul Lyrics

I put my keys in the ignition

As I speed off in the distance

In my bag I'm reminiscing

I just pray somebody listen

It's not set up for us

It's a set up for us

That's not a metaphor

Shackled to the ground they won't let us soar

I done seen the best niggas lose to the worst situation

I've been harassed by cops my whole life cause of discrimination

Judge did our people filthy you still want some litigation

Twenty two years I never thought I'd see it's a celebration

Walked in the building giving hugs and kisses to everyone who made it

You know the love is sacred

I hit this blunt get faded

If you want it come take it

That's til the death of me

Nothing left of me

What they expect from me

I came from the bottom where you can die in the cruelest way

Killers on the block upping shots turn to ricochet

Innocent bodies drop then rot somebody gets away

Not every hero wears a cape somebody come and save the day

I just pray somebody listen

It's not set up for us

It's a set up for us

Not every hero wears a cape somebody come and save the day

You know the love is sacred I hit this blunt get faded

I just pray somebody listen

It's not set up for us

It's a set up for us

Not every hero wears a cape somebody come and save the day

You know the love is sacred I hit this blunt get faded

Lifestyles of the young and the reckless left a stain on the dash

Robbing for cash

Tryna throw the drugs in the trash

As I made my great escape from the cops

Disappear off the grid while we shake up the block

The power moves often used by the smoothest operators in the game

But the price that's often paid come from pain

Stemming off all the systematic holes that we face

In the land of the free but that ain't include me

So now I'm on my bully hustling every day

Got a family to feed and my people I gotta save

So in truth I was born into this world full of burdens I was inherited

Fighting off the heritics cause lord knows I'm heaven sent

And demons on the prowl trying to take away the time I spent

On getting blueprints so the future can thrive

Get a feel for real freedom where their families won't cry

And the kids won't have to be traumatized

In the system that we facing man them people always hating on the skin that made us proud

In the system that we facing man they hating on our crowns that will never fall down

In the system that we facing man them people always hating on the skin that made us proud

In the system that we facing man they hating on our crowns that will never fall down
