[Intro – Talking]
Crown heavy…
But it don’t carry itself…
Streets’ll make you…
Devil tryina break you…
But I move how I move…
[Hook 2x]
Devil can’t catch me, can’t pull me down,
Heavy is the head, but I wear the crown,
Streetlights flickering, there’s wolves outside,
Circling the block, watching on borrowed time…
[Verse 1]
The blocks whisper names like a funeral hymn,
Smiles turn sharp when the daylight dims,
I lost count of the times they counted me out,
But I learned to grow quiet when the streets get loud…
[Verse 2]
See the devil dress well, got on a suit and tie,
But his grip ain’t slick enough to catch my stride,
It’s chess on these corners, patience is the play,
Stay two steps before he know where I lay…
[Hook 1x]
Devil can’t catch me, can’t pull me down,
Heavy is the head, but I wear the crown,
Streetlights flickering, there’s wolves outside,
Circling the block, watching on borrowed time…
[Verse 3]
Politicians talk pretty, devil in their eyes,
Feeding you distractions while all your hope dies,
Playin’ on your heartstrings, fill your head with lies,
Stealing all your money while their bank accounts rise…
[Bridge ]
The devil’s biggest weapon be whisperin’ doubts,
End up with a hard life takin’ the easy way out…
Tellin’ me to quit — that slick talk don’t hit,
Soft tongue, hard lies — don’t fall for it…
[Final Hook 1x]
Devil can’t catch me, can’t pull me down,
Heavy is the head, but I wear the crown,
Streetlights flickering, there’s wolves outside,
Circling the block, watching on borrowed time…
[Outro – Talking]
Greatest lie the devil ever told…
Was that I couldn’t make it on my own…
But look at me now…
Crown on…
Heat rising off the street…
And I’m still here…
