Crown on the Floor
Lyrics
[Verse 1 - deep breathy male vocals over slow trap 808 bass and subtle soulful piano, intimate whisper building tension]
She came in with your ring,
Face I knew too fuckin' well,
My so-called brother sold her ass out,
For a seat inside my hell.
She stood there like a broken vow,
Thought I owned the whole damn room,
But when she locked them eyes on me,
Felt my empire start to boom.
I growled, "Girl, what the fuck they do?"
She whispered, "You already know,"
Hands shakin', pride on lock,
But that fire in her soul gon' show.
[Pre-Chorus - edgy vocal runs, layered harmonies swelling with sensual reverb, aggressive snare rolls creeping in]
Built on cold-ass decisions,
Throne that never fuckin' slept,
Then she breathed my name so soft,
Hit me where my secrets kept.
All the pain I locked away,
Scars I never named, bitch please,
Meant to snatch her heart and break it,
Now she got me on my knees.
[Chorus - passionate full band explosion, hard rock guitar riffs over thumping hip-hop beat, aggressive ad-libs and breathy soulful hooks]
You were never mine to buy, never mine to fuckin' break!
Sent to ruin me, baby, now I can't escape!
Never mine to buy, but I gave you all my pride,
When you looked at me, I let the king die inside!
[Verse 2 - sensual rap flow with edgy double-time hi-hats, deep 808s pulsing, rock edge on distorted bass guitar, male POV raw and explicit]
Watched her learn my silence, trace the scars beneath my skin,
Every dinner straight chess moves, but she pull me deeper in.
Not with fake-ass flattery or fear in her eyes,
Just that wounded truth, "Want this body? Speak to the soul inside."
I'd watch her laugh at shit I never say,
Guards think I won the war, but she breakin' me raw,
Friend who traded her got swallowed in his greed,
She turned my stone heart to water, made a man from fuckin' seed.
[Pre-Chorus - building aggressive tension, breathy emotional cracks in vocals, soulful organ swells and trap snares intensifying]
Built on cold-ass decisions,
Throne that never fuckin' slept,
Then she breathed my name so soft,
Hit me where my secrets kept.
All the pain I locked away,
Scars I never named, bitch please,
Meant to snatch her heart and break it,
Now she got me on my knees.
[Chorus - explosive fire, massive sidechained 808s, rock distortion guitars shredding, passionate layered male vocals with hip-hop ad-libs]
You were never mine to buy, never mine to fuckin' break!
Sent to ruin me, baby, now I can't escape!
Never mine to buy, but I gave you all my pride,
When you looked at me, I let the king die inside!
[Bridge - stripped-back vulnerable piano and breathy whispers turning aggressive rap breakdown, sensual slow jam vibe with edgy rock edge building]
If I let you walk tonight, would you hate me for the truth?
Don't want no stolen pussy love, I want mornings built with you.
Let this empire burn down slow, fuck my name up on the wall,
Rather lose the crown, baby, than be the king who took it all.
[Final Chorus - anthemic peak, full R&B soul harmonies over hard hip-hop rock fusion, explicit aggressive shouts fading to emotional breathy outro]
You were never mine to buy, never mine to fuckin' break!
Sent to ruin me, now I can't escape!
Never mine to buy, so I set your ass free,
When you looked at me, you made a man out of me!
Never mine to own, if you choose to ride with me,
I'll bring you back home, baby, finally free!
[Outro - fading ethereal reverb on breathy male vocals, slow 808 pulses dissolving into soulful piano echoes, passionate whispers repeating]
Back home... back home...
I'll bring you back home...
(Fuck, baby... home...)
