Crown Lyrics - Run The Jewels, Vol. 2 - Run The Jewels

Down with the shame 

Down with the shame 

Used to walk traps in the rain with cocaine 

Used to write raps in the traps as I sat in the rain and I prayed that God give me a lane 

Give me a lane 

Give me the fame 

Give me the fame and I promise to change 

Won't be the same 

Won't be the same type of man that puts cocaine in this lady's hand 

Heard she was pregnant, I'm guilty I reckon cause I hear that good shit can hurt baby's brain 

Heard he was normal 'til three and then he stopped talkin' 

Since then, ain't nothin been the same 

Seen her some years later out in decatur told her that I'm sorry for causin' her pain 

Causin' me pain? 

Causin' me pain? 

She asked again and she grabbed my right hand 

Asked am I crazy, said look here, baby, I release you from all of your sins and your shame 

Cause I've been redeemed 

I found in Christ 

Whatever it take I hope you find it, Mike 

The look on her face shown that glory replaced all the shame and the hate and that she wears a crown 

My late grandma Bettie had prayed with her heavy and told her to tell me lay my burdens down 

Can't pick up no crown, holding 

What's holding you down 

Can't pick up no crown, holding 

What's holding you down 

Can't pick up no crown, can't pick up no crown 

(Down with the shame 

Down with the shame) 

Carried the flag in some other men's name 

Loaded my weapon and swore to them vengeance and stepped with aggression right into the fray 

Into the haze 

Into the murk 

Told me to prove to them what I was worth 

We'll teach you to move without mercy and give you the tools to go after the causers of hurt 

You'll become death 

You will take breath 

This is for everything you've ever loved 

Use all the pain that you've felt in your life as the currency go out and trade it for blood 

You are not you 

You are now us 

We are the only ones that you can trust 

You'll become fear 

They'll become dust 

Before this moment you didn't mean much 

You are the smoldering vessel of punishment born to do nothing but justify us 

Give us your empathy we'll give you lust 

Let yourself go my son time to grow up 

Give up your childish obsession with questioning 

Anything we don't tell you is irrelevant 

Everything you've ever been is replaced by the metal and fire of the weapon you clutch
