Take the Crown - Intellectual

[Hook]

Take the crown, keep these clown ass niggas outside

You ain’t steppin in wit mines, yeah nigga I’m up

Countin money like it’s everything

For the family I’ll do anything

I’ll take the crown, tell the former king this ain’t about pride

I’m just takin what is mines yeah nigga I’m up

Yeeah, yeeah

I chose this path so I can prove I knew bout what I was saying

Fuck what haters thought, the vision I was portrayin

Would show me that i could never be degraded to them pump-fake gimicks

I ain’t sayin that I’m innocent, OG Simpson

But when they clippin ya wings you gon have to sore even higher

To levels they’ll never reach in a fleet to fill your desires

More than often they won’t listen, never compromise your style

I ain’t never been submissive, I’m as cocky as am proud

No matter how they portray me I’ll never let them words phase me

Only I know my story, the whole completion that made me

From livin out in the Beano, to movin outta the ghetto

To chillin in Puerto Rico and talkin to my abuelo - he told me-

I know ya young but still I ask you to listen

Young man you’re destined for greatness so don’t be actin pathetic, you gotta leave on a mission

Don’t that path that you headin, see the whole worlds for the take so don’t come back till you get it

Remember wakin up on cold floors, some shit I never predicted

Moved in a suburban house only shortly to get evicted but my Ma kept a smile

No matter what the occurence

Me and my siblings confused but she’d always cause reassurance like “we gon figure this out”

“We gon figure this out”, our situation seemed hopeless but she would never show doubt

Don’t leave no option to fail, that’s how you make it through hell

If you can’t find a solution you’ll have to make one yourself

I’m fuckin bangin on them doors when they be leaving them shut

I’m way too hungry, where’s your dinner plate? I’m cleanin it up

Shit all I needs a couple beats and some dope reefa to puff to get creatin on a level that ain’t east to tough

So-so just, engrave my name amongst the greatest in advance

All this knowledge i’ve been cookin up is lately in demand

Shit if nobody ever play me they gone hate me where I stand

They done knocked me on my ass but imma take another chance
