about

One thing I find missing in today's Hip-Hop is authenticity. I've been there, done that. It's been over a decade since I ran the streets; Five years since I graduated at the top of my class with my second degree; Seven years since my last endorsement deal; Eight years since my last major tour. I disappeared before streaming took over, so with "Crown Me," I set out to reintroduce myself. A lot may have forgotten about me. Most never heard of me. That doesn't mean I don't deserve to be crowned.

lyrics

Intro

Stupid mother fucker Crown me!

Stupid mother fucker Crown me!


Verse 1 (Papi Shank)

I'm back now.
So don't puff up your chest,
Nigga back down,
Run home, or with this bat I'll,
Hit a home run, so don't front,
You betta fade into the background.

Out of focus!
Know this, "Moises,"
That's the name that my Mommy gave me,
"Papi," that's the name that the mami's gave me,
And Shank, I earned that while,
Well, you don't want to learn how!

All you needa know is my turn now!
I was tired of roaming.
Born a General, the system tried to slave me,
But I'm Gladiator so they'd call me "Maximus" if I was Roman.

But I'm a Latin King, with tales from the crypt, cuz the hounds got a scent of my blood.
Had a price on my head, long nights no bed, I guess I was blessed from above!

No thug, but I sold drugs,
Banana clip filled with hollow tip slugs,
Ready to spit at the counterfeit thugs,
Who couldn't put their money where their mouth was. Huh.

Mad men.
After a couple of stitches and staples I cashed in.
I start laughing, whenever people start asking, about back then!

They don't believe it's true!
Don't believe it's me.
Can't believe I'm the same guy.
But I don't need 'em to!
All they needa see,
Is where I'm from since I can't hide, cuz I,

GPS my success, so backtrack to the point of origin,
Before the college degrees the touring and sponsorships,
You'll see I'm legit.
Crown me!


Hook

It's in my blood, check my DNA
(check my fucking DNA, just check my fucking DNA)
My life was predestined to be this way
(my life, my life, my life, my life, my life)
Product of my environment, nahhh I'm self-made
(yeaaah, yeah)
It's in my blood, check my DNA
(it's in my blood, check my DNA and Crown me!)


Verse 2 (Loaded Dice)

This is my life,
I've done seen things, I've done been there, and came back.
I've done seen death, and laughed at it, so fuck you, now gimmie that.
That crown back, that's my shit, I paid dues, I've done earn that.
I've done broke bones, and bled for this, you fuck boys, ain't about that.

You new niggas, is lame niggas.
Four-five in your frame nigga.
Best advice for you birds, fly back from whence you came nigga.
I've done lost it all, and had nothing, broke bread with real niggas,
Man'd up, and made something, dug down, to the bone gristle.

Dice life we've been official.
Ran the streets with no issues.
They know me from back then,
Wild boy but I still am.
Doc said I wouldn't walk again.
Fuck him, and his whole staff.
In six months I've done ran laps,
Feel stronger now than back then.

Slight change, long hair, more money, and thick scars.
Chicks dig it so suck balls, I'm still claiming that Outlaw!
Ain't much change still a real nigga,
Just smarter now with all business.
Y'all washed up and all finished.
Just Crown Me I'm done with it. L.E.S.G.O!


Hook/Outro

It's in my blood, check my DNA
(check my fucking DNA, just check my fucking DNA)

My life was predestined to be this way
(my life, my life, my life, my life, my life)

Product of my environment, nahhh I'm self-made
I’m chest pounding in the streets
This crown here is concrete
(yeaaah, yeah)

It's in my blood, check my DNA
(it's in my blood, check my DNA and Crown me!)

It's in my blood, check my DNA (Stupid mother fucker Crown me!)
(check my fucking DNA, just check my fucking DNA)

My life was predestined to be this way (Stupid mother fucker Crown me!)
(my life, my life, my life, my life, my life)

Product of my environment, nahhh I'm self-made
I’m chest pounding in the streets
This crown here is concrete
(yeaaah, yeah)

It's in my blood, check my DNA (Stupid mother fucker Crown me!)
(it's in my blood, check my DNA and Crown me!)
