Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came up on the corner store clock
Ten cent dreams in a forty ounce spot
Mom said move, so I moved with the block
Now I keep calm while the whole room rock
Old screen door, let it bang in the heat
Cold soda pop and the dust on my sneaks
I learned quick, never speak if you weak
Say less, watch, let the numbers repeat
Had a bad week, still I wore it like gold
Tin roof talk and a heart made bold
Every scar got a story I hold
Every loss made the next step cold
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that, baby, that drumline sound
I been buried, still I came back round
Hands up high when the truth comes down
I don't fold, I just take my crown
[Chorus]
Corner store crown, corner store crown
I don't bow down, I don't bow down
Corner store crown, corner store crown
From the first red light to the last block now
Corner store crown, corner store crown
Who said I was out? Look at me now (look at me now)
[Verse 2]
I seen clean suits talk dirty for rent
Seen good friends split over one missed cent
Seen pride get loud then the whole thing bent
So I kept my name like a stone in my chest
No glass house flex, just a real back bone
Three missed calls and a cracked-up phone
Still I answer the block when it want my tone
Still I bring heat with a beat-up coat
They want fast fame, I want long run wins
Want my face on the wall where the paint chipped in
Want my people say, "Yeah, he did that then"
Want that old-school nod from the women and men
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that, baby, that drumline sound
I been buried, still I came back round
Hands up high when the truth comes down
I don't fold, I just take my crown
[Chorus]
Corner store crown, corner store crown
I don't bow down, I don't bow down
Corner store crown, corner store crown
From the first red light to the last block now
Corner store crown, corner store crown
Who said I was out? Look at me now (look at me now)
[Bridge]
Let the dust settle
I still stand here
Same old face
But the walk got clear
No silver spoon
Just a steel-cut nerve
I took that loss
And I made it work
[Chorus]
Corner store crown, corner store crown
I don't bow down, I don't bow down
Corner store crown, corner store crown
From the first red light to the last block now
Corner store crown, corner store crown
Who said I was out? Look at me now (look at me now)

Style
Boom bap hip hop with dusty swing, chopped drum loops, cracked snare snaps, and a head-nodding pocket at mid tempo; verse rides bare drums and bass with tight internal rhymes, pre-chorus pulls back to filtered vinyl and a rising chant, chorus hits with stacked doubles and gang ad-libs on the anchor. Bridge drops to drums and a lone sample chop, then final chorus comes bigger with subtle scratches, handclaps, and short delay throws on the last words. Grimy close-mic lead, punchy and upfront, with warm analog grit and crisp low-end impact., rap, hip hop
