Emilio Rojas
Crown of Thorns
[Intro]
I used to believe if I played by your rules
I'd win, I’d win, I'd win
All these thorns in me proves our gods are feared
By men and I ain't gonna save you now
[Verse One]
I’m from a small town, small minds, trouble fittin' in
When I skated through my city, it was different then
And I ran with gangstas that was on parole
Or students on that honor roll
Left catholic school in seventh grade
I can't believe in god no more (Amen)
'Cause they told me Emilio, follow your dreams
And you could be gettin' whatever you want
And you could be anything that you believe
I got on my knees and prayed to beat it, it was futile
We never had males around us growin' up
I learned to tie a tie on Youtube
Tryna find out how to sue them, only smoke until they stupid
Doin' harder drugs, if it was put it front of them, they'd use it
There was aliens in my family but me, I’m only human
I’m what happens after Jesus learned his only friend was Judas
Everybody who's around me, they really wanna con me
They really wanna drown me
Wanna get slick with a little bit of bread
But they gonna get it right when I hit ’em with accountin'
Everyone that I trust dead or they locked up in that county
So it's time to take these fuckin' thorns and crown me, amen
