Crown

(album: Empire: Original Soundtrack Season 2 Volume 2 - 2016)

You can try and take away my crown
But I will never let my kingdom down
When I put it on, it's on for real
Damn I wear it so well

I know that they're coming for my throne,
but I'm the one who got here on my own
When I put it on it's on for real
Damn I wear it so well

I can still feel your eyes
On me like a spotlight
You held me up, up so high
So tell me, was it all lies?
All the things that I've done has got me where I want to be
So baby why'd you have to leave?

When you've got the world in your hands,
It seems like everyone wants you to fail
It's like I've got a target on my back,
Take a shot at me, take a shot for me

You can try and take away my crown
But I will never let my kingdom down
When I put it on, it's on for real
Damn I wear it so well

I know that they're coming for my throne,
but I'm the one who got here on my own
When I put it on it's on for real
Damn I wear it so well

Damn I wear it so well

I can see all the hands
Reaching up to touch me
Everyone wants a piece
Just so they can judge me
I thought I had your heart, but you let me down
and left me standing all alone
But Imma still put on a show

When you've got the world in your hands,
It seems like everyone wants you to fail
It's like I've got a target on my back,
Take a shot at me, take a shot for me

You can try and take away my crown
But I will never let my kingdom down
When I put it on, it's on for real
Damn I wear it so well

I know that they're coming for my throne,
but I'm the one who got here on my own
When I put it on it's on for real
Damn I wear it so well

Damn I wear it so well

Damn I wear it so well
