Crown Removal

Chorus

Lock the door and hide the crown

I'm about to tear this structure down

Yeah I'm about to tear it down

Burn the castle and the gown

Yeah the circus left this town

And I am about to tear it down

Verse 1

Empty clip in the clip-board

Signing away your whole life while I keep score

Talking heavy with a thin frame

Mentioning my name for a little bit of quick fame

Industry puppet with a string loose

Tied a knot and let you slip in the noose

I see the fake behind the mascara

The fall is coming for this new era

You move like a ghost in a hallway

Wishing you could do what I do the small way

Big checks but your soul is feeling bankrupt

Running the numbers until the system gets corrupt

Sipping water like it’s aged wine

Trying to bridge the gap and crossing the main line

Keep my business out of your mouth

Before I have to head strictly down south

Chorus

Lock the door and hide the crown

I'm about to tear this structure down

Yeah I'm about to tear it down

Burn the castle and the gown

Yeah the circus left this town

And I am about to tear it down

Verse 2

Stutter stepping on a weak base

Looking like a mistake with a bleached face

You talk tough behind the screen protector

Waiting for a check from your debt collector

Cloned soul in a chrome shell

Everything you touch is a story that you don't tell

Keep walking on the thin wire

While I fan the flames of the big fire

Alphabet soup in your rap sheet

Begging for a seat on the back street

Pockets hollow like a tree trunk

Washing out the stains of a sea junk

High horse with a broken leg

Trying to squeeze juice from a golden egg

Stop trying to reach the top shelf

Better take a look at your own self

Bridge

They keep talking but they never listen

Gold plating while the iron starts to glisten

Break the silence with a loud crack

Know there ain't no turning back

No there ain't no turning back

Verse 3

Paper tigers in a cardboard tank

Trying to withdraw from a dried up bank

I am the wolf in the wool vest

Putting all your rumors to a cruel test

Mirror image with a cracked lens

Counting up your sins with your fake friends

Glass ceiling when you try to fly

Better start waving that flag high

You got a title with no substance

Living off the leftovers of your cousins

Little words for a small mind

Leaving all your relevance so far behind

Take a picture while it still lasts

Watching how the future meets the past

Final warning at the front gate

Telling you to go and check the weight

Chorus

Lock the door and hide the crown

I'm about to tear this structure down

Yeah I'm about to tear it down

Burn the castle and the gown

Yeah the circus left this town

And I am about to tear it down

Verse 4

Dust settles on your best days

Lost in the middle of a dense haze

I got a motor with no break pad

Driving through the limits that you never had

Short fuses in a long race

Telling every lie with a long face

Plastic medals on a weak chest

Put the whole legacy to deep rest

Quiet rooms for a loud pride

There is nowhere left for you to hide

Digging holes for a lost cause

Reading all the fine print and the flaws

Turn the volume up a bit more

Hearing my footsteps on the pit floor

Done talking to a shadow

Winning every battle in the shallow

The king stays while you fade out

Chorus

Lock the door and hide the crown

I'm about to tear this structure down

Yeah I'm about to tear it down

Burn the castle and the gown

Yeah the circus left this town

And I am about to tear it down
