[Chorus]
Yeah, uh, they thought we was playin’?
This for the queens holdin’ it down, crown on tilt!
From the block to the booth, we run this!
Let’s go!
[Verse 1: ]
I’m from the mud, where the concrete crack,
Diamonds dancin’ on my wrist, got ‘em mad, no cap.
E.V.E, yeah, I’m poppin’ like that,
Hustle in my veins, got the game in a wrap.
They tried to box me, but I’m breakin’ the cage,
Pen sharper than a blade, cut ‘em all off the stage.
Memphis queen, yeah, I’m reppin’ my roots,
Tennessee grit, got the crown in my boots.
I’m dodgin’ the fakes, movin’ swift through the snakes,
Every bar that I spit make the industry shake.
They want the sauce, but can’t handle the spice,
I’m servin’ these plates, yeah, I’m changin’ they life!
[Pre-Chorus: ]
I seen the struggle, seen the pain in the mirror,
Mama prayed the vision get clearer.
They want the glory, but don’t know what it cost,
I paid in blood just to carry the cross.
[Chorus: ]
[Verse 2:]
Uh, look at the roots, where the dirt get deep,
Ancestors whisper when I’m writin’ in my sleep.
I’m paintin’ pictures with the pain of my kin,
Every bar’s a brick, build a world where we win.
They gentrify the block, but can’t gentrify me,
Soul too raw, got the spirit of the free.
I’m dodgin’ algorithms tryna cage my truth,
While these labels sell dreams to the youth.
I’m the poet of the pavement, the voice of the meek,
Turn the struggle to a sermon every time I speak.
They want the chains, but I’m breakin’ the lock,
This for my sisters gettin’ money ‘round the clock!
[Bridge: ]
I’m too real, no filter, no facade,
Built this empire, brick by brick, oh my God.
They tried to dim my light, but I’m burnin’ too bright,
From the trap to the pulpit, I’m preachin’ the code,
Every scar on my heart paved the way for the road.
This for the girls with the dreams in they chest,
Turn the pain to a crown, now we shinin’ the best!
[Chorus:]
Crown on tilt, yeah, I wear it like that!
Queen of the game, ain’t no takin’ it back!
From the block to the top, where my sisters at?
We runnin’ this shit, put the world on our back!
Crown on tilt, yeah, I’m holdin’ it down,
Voice for the voiceless, hear the roar in the sound.
Ain’t no stoppin’ this reign, we forever intact,
Queens run the globe, that’s a motherfuckin’ fact!
[Verse 3:]
I’m the phoenix, watch me rise from the ash,
Turn the trauma to a check, turn the pain into cash.
They wanna see me fold, but I’m built like stone,
Carved my name in the game, now the throne my home.
I’m the daughter of the struggle, heir to the grit,
Every bar’s a revolution, every rhyme’s a hit.
From the corners of the South to the global stage,
I’mthe spark for lost , lightin' up they rage.
This ain’t just rap , it’s a war cry fam
For tha queens holden court middle finger to da scam
they da blue print yea architects of fate
crown on tilt let em know we don’t wait
