[Intro]
Turn that crown upside down
Through yo' chest on the ground
Turn that crown upside down
Through yo' chest on the ground
Turn that crown upside down
Through yo' chest on the ground
Turn that crown upside down
Through yo' chest on the ground

[Verse 1]
I seen better days and I'm in the haze
Every step I make is through another barricade
And I've beared the fame and I built my lane
And I'm looking for peace through a pair of frames
Got memories chained to my person
Fuck everybody, move clear, I'm searching
Soul feels like it's been refurbished
Thirteen ghosts 'round the corridor lurking
Like a serpent
Found the bourbon
Take another sip into the blackout curtain
Tell me what I gotta do
I gotta make it through another day
Without me hearing all the bluebirds chirping
Where did they go? Where do they fly?
I'm needing the consolation
With nothing to prove but so much to hide
I'm buried in contemplation
[Bridge]
Yeah, I'm here right now but I fear tomorrow
I can hear the sounds of all the sirens near, they follow
I won't let you down and that's a promise I will keep
But when I look into the mirror, there's someone else staring back at me

[Verse 2]
Shawty been there, been there day one
I was so numb, no animation
Couldn't make a getaway
I couldn't say nun'
She brought me to health and I made my money
Now I lost you, cannot go back
Had to let you go, couldn't kodak
Didn't want any collateral damage
Please understand while I wrap this bandage
The man I've become is the man on the run
Abandoned the sun but the burners they won
Like animatronics, they weighing a ton
The serpent unbroken, the hero unsung
When I found you, I knew that
I would have more time to go back
Re-wire, riddin' my Prozac
I'm grateful, I hope you know that
Save myself from myself
Collecting dust up like a shelf
I been filled with rage and made mistakes
On my way to find what could help
When I fell I couldn't tell what made me fall
I been put up in a cell, waiting for the next call
I been lookin so frail but a lil' more tall
If I don't prevail, I know, I gave it my all
[Outro]
Turn that crown upside down
Through yo' chest on the ground
Turn that crown upside down
Through yo' chest on the ground
Turn that crown upside down
Through yo' chest on the ground
Turn that crown upside down
Through yo' chest on the ground
