heavy is the crown - king skrilla lyrics

[intro]

(c-ssette tape sound effect)

(talking)

yeah, heavy is the crown
multi ’til the sun die. shoutout to mississippi
jackson, specifically. yeah
uh, yo

[verse]

heavy is the crown of a king
tryna do it the right way
they awaiting your every move
tryna see what you might say
he lyrical like k.r.i.t.,
business-savvy just like jay
ion care nothing ‘bout that sh-t
when emotions are night and day
tryna balance it out
cuz though they herald me as simba
i’m shedding tears in this castle
they k!lled my cousin in november
over som’ that could’ve been prevented
got me tripping
preacher man say we should all forgive him
but i don’t feel it
i’m focused on overcoming every struggle
i’ve been faced with
so i write it all down
and they steady want me to make hits, yeah
new rappers cool homie
get it how you live
plus we got something in common
we both do it for the kids
see, you do it for the kids
to get streams and go viral
i do it for the kids
as motivation for survival
i’m sorry i ain’t been rapping
i’ve been really in my bible
cuz these are the last days
and i wanna go meet my idol. lord!
i know i ain’t perfect
but i’ve been trying lately
inside i’ve been hurting
man it’s been kinda crazy
that’s the price you pay when you’re born great
my brother p-ssed in a car crash
but god don’t make mistakes
and i can’t wait to see his face
and tell him look at what you’ve done
who knew a tragic accident
would inspire me to become
a man that’s as p-ssionate
about making change in my city
there’s so many parallels
from east saint to mississippi
we both were the underdogs
they look at us like we’re lesser
but f-ck them haters
this miles davis meets medgar evers, uh
i wish they would shoot me in the driveway
f-ck around and be a riot by friday
heavy is the crown
made in the image of jesus
so not concerned with these leaches
just trying to bring me down
so even if they decide to crucify me
i’ll be alive in spirit
you can keep the body
cuz i’m more than just a physical presence
i’m an empirical treasure
that’s laced with lyrical blessings
queens attracted to my spiritual essence
but i gotta protect it cuz we at war
and it’s way too much at store
and i let us down before
falling victim to temptation
can’t pull a david ruffin when you gotta lead a nation
i was tryna rush my greatness
then i learned to be patient
cuz i realized that gradual
would lead to graduation
so, mr. scott, i must show my appreciation
what was supposed to be a meet and greet
would soon be confirmation
i was struggling to finish my album
and make it great
started thinking ‘bout the times
when i used to make tapes
as a youngen like it’s nothing
so when you told me i should rap
over this beat that you had put on a tape
i had to snap
and i love you my brother
for helping me put it down
and taking weight off my shoulders with these sounds
heavy is the crown

[c-ssette tape pop]
