[Intro: Choir]
Hallelu, hallelujah (whoa)
Crown on Ty — crown on Ty (yeah)
(Hit — 808) (choir stab)
[Verse 1: Tyler]
Three AM, cold floor, bills in a stack, mama worried knockin' at the door
Debt, doubt — they shouted, said "kid stop," I heard it, but I kept my core
Late nights, fake lights, label names in a list that said he'd fold
Giants on my back, step, step, they crumble — faith loud, drums cold
Smoked-out room, one bright seam — I walked out of the smoke, left the debt on the floor
Foot on the brick, heartbeat trip — triplet steps, watch me make the chorus roar
[Pre-Chorus: Choir / Tyler (call and response)]
Choir: Lift — lift your voice (lift)
Tyler: I lift, I lift (I lift)
Choir: Hold — hold the line (hold)
Tyler: I hold, I hold (I hold)
Choir: Crown on Ty — crown on Ty (echo)
Tyler: Crown on Ty — watch me fly
[Chorus: Choir + Tyler — Hook (short, repeatable)]
Choir & Tyler: Crown on Ty (Crown on Ty)
Choir ad-lib: Crown — crown — crown
(Pre-drop: 808 knock, hi-hat triplet, choir stab)
[Verse 2: Tyler]
They boxed me in with "no," clip-board, red pen, rejections like rain
Ghost of a job, cold couch, empty fridge, pride bruised, knees in pain
Naysayers sold stories, they wrote my limits, tried to script my life in chalk
I rewrote the margins, pen bleed faith, I walked when the market mocked
Watch me turn the ledgers, ledger to ledger, ledger to legacy
I left the anger in the alley, picked up the keys — pressed for victory
Trip-tap, snap-slap, haters clap, but my God clap back, earth splits, gap
[Pre-Chorus: Choir / Tyler (call and response)]
Choir: Stand — stand in truth (stand)
Tyler: I stand, I stand (I stand)
Choir: Burn — burn the doubt (burn)
Tyler: I burn, I burn (I burn)
Choir: Crown on Ty — crown on Ty (lower harmony under)
Tyler: Crown on Ty — crown on Ty (raise)
[Chorus: Choir + Tyler — Hook (developed second time)]
Choir & Tyler: Crown on Ty (Crown on Ty)
Tyler (double-time): Crown on Ty, city look up, angels reply
Choir: Crown on Ty, chains fall, watch the sky split wide
Ad-lib (Tyler): Yeah — Ty won't fall, Ty won't fall (staccato)
[Pre-Drop Ad-Libs: Tyler & Choir]
Tyler: Knock — drop — rise
Choir: Rise — rise
Tyler: Step — step — step (808 hit)
Choir: Crown — crown — crown
[Bridge: Lower Choir (deep), Tyler (soft) — build to drop]
Lower Choir: (deep) Rise, rise, rise — low hum
Tyler (soft): Cold nights made the steel in my spine
Lower Choir (answer): Rise — rise — rise
Tyler (rising): Hospital hall, tear on the tile, prayer in my pocket, scripture in my line
Lower Choir (thick): Heaven bend, ground mend — crown align
[Build / Drop: Choir stabs + 808 roll]
(Choir stabs) Crown on Ty — crown on Ty (echo, triplet hi-hats)
Tyler: I crushed the doubt, flipped the script, walked out the smoke, left the debt on the floor
Choir reply (call-and-response fast): Left the debt — left the debt — left the debt on the floor
[Final Chorus: Choir + Tyler — Big, cinematic]
Choir & Tyler: Crown on Ty (Crown on Ty)
Tyler: Crown on Ty, sky
