Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came in with a paper plate dream
Cold fries, warm pride, and a ripped seam
Mama said, "Keep your head, keep your name clean"
So I moved like a shadow in the doorframe beam
Corner store run, four nickels in my hand
Learned real quick how the rent don't care man
Every hard day tried to put me in the sand
I was digging with a spoon, still building my plan
Old jeans, fresh scars, heavy on my chest
Used to chase approval, now I let it rest
If they want the whole truth, I was at my best
When the world said "sit down," I said "watch this"
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up
I been through the wind and rain
Still I rise when they call my name
Hold up
Let them see it in my face
I don't fold, I just change pace
[Chorus]
Back pocket crown
Back pocket crown
I wear it low, but I wear it proud
Back pocket crown
Back pocket crown
They heard the doubt, now they hear the sound (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Train-schedule life, same block, different grind
Clock punched holes in the luck I was assigned
Had to learn the hard way, time ain't kind
So I turned every loss to a line
One burner phone, three missed calls
One big bill, two cracked walls
Still I stood in the doorway tall
'Cause a man ain't made when the good times call
I seen fake love with a polished grin
Seen friends switch lanes when the pressure kicked in
Now I keep my circle like a sharp pin
Close enough to help, not close enough to sin
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up
I been through the wind and rain
Still I rise when they call my name
Hold up
Let them see it in my face
I don't fold, I just change pace
[Chorus]
Back pocket crown
Back pocket crown
I wear it low, but I wear it proud
Back pocket crown
Back pocket crown
They heard the doubt, now they hear the sound (yeah)
[Bridge]
Turn the page, let the bruises show
Every crack got a place I grew
No gold chain, just a steady glow
And a heart that the hard times knew
[Chorus]
Back pocket crown
Back pocket crown
I wear it low, but I wear it proud
Back pocket crown
Back pocket crown
They heard the doubt, now they hear the sound (yeah)
