Crown and the Street

Yo, we livin' in the shadows, caught between the darkness and the light

She said she tired, wanna leave, but I tell her, baby, the street's my life

This is our story, the struggle, the game, the pain, the crown

Listen up...

She sits across the bed, tears in her eyes, sayin' she need more than this

Streetlights and handshakes, love lost in the mist

Told her I can’t just walk away, I’m king in this game, it’s a part of me

Crown heavy, but I wear it proud, I got streets in my blood, can’t set it free

She sayin' she tired of the hustle, the grind, the pain, she wanna escape

But I got it all, the struggle, the fame, can't just walk away from my fate

I'm stuck in the trenches, can't lay down my crown

King of these streets, never bow, never drown

She sees the war in my eyes, the toll it’s takin' on her mind

Tells me she wanna leave, but I tell her, baby, this life’s my grind

Memories of the block, nights so cold, life ain't been kind

Her tears fall like rain, sayin' she tired of this grind

I tell her, stay strong, we built from the ground, this is all I know

My throne’s in these streets, my roots run deep, can't just let it go

She cryin', say she’s exhausted, tired of the pain and the cost

But I’m draped in power, got a empire, love and loss embossed

I'm stuck in the trenches, can't lay down my crown

King of these streets, never bow, never drown

She sees the war in my eyes, the toll it’s takin' on her mind

Tells me she wanna leave, but I tell her, baby, this life’s my grind

Maybe one day, we’ll find a way, out these streets to a better place

But for now, I gotta stay, my throne demands I embrace

Her love’s the armor that I'll need, to keep her close despite the storm

In these streets I planted my seed, my empire’s the reason I stay warm

Yo, she might leave, she might stay, but I’ll always be the king in her eyes

Street life, it’s a toll we pay, but I ain’t about to cut my ties

Love and loyalty, intertwined, in this game, we fight, we survive

Keepin' my crown, stayin' my ground, cause I’m the king, that’s alive.
