Lyrics
Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Oh
Verse 1
South side of the river where the concrete hums
Cold wind whips through the tower flats
Four in the morning and the kettle's on
I'm writing my name in the wet glass
I didn't come here to borrow the light
I brought my own flame in a copper cup
Every doubt they fed me I swallowed fine
Now I'm spitting them back as the engine revs up
Pre-Chorus
Round here we don't ask how
We just step up, we just show out
Tell them slow talkers shut it down
One breath and the whole block knows now
Chorus
Can't touch this crown, crown
Every step I take the whole ground shakes
Can't touch this crown, crown
I was born to make the quiet ones proud
Drop
Chorus
Can't touch this crown, crown
Every step I take the whole ground shakes
Can't touch this crown, crown
I was born to make the quiet ones proud
Verse 2
They wrote my ending before the first page
Crossed me off the list like I owed them change
Same old faces and the same old rage
But I keep my focus while the whole frame shakes
Mum said keep your head up through the weather
Dad said let the loud ones talk until you're sure
Now I've got the truth in my knuckles, sorted
And the sax crying sweet in the pouring rain
Pre-Chorus
Round here we don't ask why
We just rise up, we don't stand by
Tell the doubters close their eyes
One verse and the whole road's mine
Chorus
Can't touch this crown, crown
Every step I take the whole ground shakes
Can't touch this crown, crown
I was born to make the quiet ones proud
So watch me now
Bridge
(Watch me now)
(Watch me now)
No hand dealt could ever hold me down
I carved a river through the hard ground
They said it's heavy, said it's too tall
I said I'm already over the wall
(Crown, crown)
(Crown, crown)
Drop
Chorus
Can't touch this crown, crown
Every step I take the whole ground shakes
Can't touch this crown, crown
I was born to make the quiet ones proud
Outro
Mm-hmm
The whole ground shakes
Mm-hmm
(Crown, crown)
