Island Sound-Crown of Bad News

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Verse 1

Crown sittin crooked on a carved out throne

Southside gospel through a borrowed bone

I collect the silence that they never spoke

Turn my scars to scripture every time I spoke

Pre-Chorus

Watch me walk through the fire barefoot

Watch me build a kingdom out of bad news

Every wound I carried turned to rev-en-ew

Now they pray to what I grew into

Chorus

I'm the ghost in the sample

The breath in the beat

I bend the whole sky till it bends to me

Made a fortune from the floor where they counted me out

Now the whole block know my name when I shout

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

(Yeah yeah yeah)

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Verse 2

Mama's prayers bouncing off a bulletproof roof

Daddy's flaws tatted on my proof

I grew a garden from a graveyard plot

Every dollar I made cost a memory I forgot

Pre-Chorus

Watch me walk through the fire barefoot

Watch me build a kingdom out of bad news

Every wound I carried turned to rev-en-ew

Now they pray to what I grew into

Chorus

I'm the ghost in the sample

The breath in the beat

I bend the whole sky till it bends to me

Made a fortune from the floor where they counted me out

Now the whole block know my name when I shout

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

(Yeah yeah yeah)

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Bridge

Float above the sewage like a halo in the rain

Turn the curses into currency and never feel the pain

They can clone the cadence but they can't repeat the claim

I am not a product

I am not a name

I am the reason

I am the flame

Chorus

I'm the ghost in the sample

The breath in the beat

I bend the whole sky till it bends to me

Made a fortune from the floor where they counted me out

Now the whole block know my name when I shout

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

(Yeah yeah yeah)

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh
