Crowned

1st verse:

I found myself at the bottom, couldn't get to the top/
so I started writing and rhyming, earned everything I got/
stood just a little bit taller in class, opened up every book/
flipped through the pages of life and took a closer look/
lost in this troubled state of mind I was livin in/
couldn't find a girl to share my heart with, I kept givin in/
to these drugs and these bottles I kept drownin in/
what else could I do but get lifted and sin/
so they labelled me and addict, smoke clouds so thick/
was never a high school jock, kept my balls under my dick/
just stuck to writing and tearing these thoughts outta my head/
lost so many loved ones to the grave, it felt like I was dead/
like there was no way to smile or reason to get out of bed/
then I opened up my eyes and I saw her in front of me, dressed in red/
I could tell she was a devil, she had that fire in her eyes/
So I prayed for an angel to save me, and she fell down from the skies/

Hook:

If you've never been to Hell, let me tell you, it's not a place for the faint of heart/
See, I was named after a saint, and even though I had God with me, I still got torn apart/
bloody pieces scattered all over the ground/
how else could I put myself back together and regain my crown/
so if you've never been to Hell, let me tell you, it's not a place for the faint of heart/
See, I was named after a saint, and even though I had God with me, I still got torn apart/

2nd verse:

I've put myself back together with blood, scared skin and ink/
now as you look me in my eyes, tell me what you think/
about the decisions I've made, all the tears that I've cried/
how many times do I gotta hear her yellin in lies/
the pain's got me stressin, I can't feel my heart beat (pause for breath)/
we killed one another, spilled blood in the street/
what else could I have done, couldn't find a way out/
had to bail and make it on my own, gotta have no doubts/
looked at myself in the reflection of a dirty puddle/
I kept on thinkin that life wasn't worth all the trouble/
should I end it all here, is it too late to turn back?/
so many questions left unanswered, so I rewound the track/
turned back the hand of time and broke the face of my watch/
told myself it wasn't about me, but the dick in my crotch/
now I've told you what demons can do, so believe in me/
this is for the fallen, those who were blind and now can see/

Hook:

If you've never been to Hell, let me tell you, it's not a place for the faint of heart/
See, I was named after a saint, and even though I had God with me, I still got torn apart/
bloody pieces scattered all over the ground/
how else could I put myself back together and regain my crown/
so if you've never been to Hell, let me tell you, it's not a place for the faint of heart/
See, I was named after a saint, and even though I had God with me, I still got torn apart/

3rd verse:

Now can you understand how much I hate/
to be the one responsible for leaving love at the gate/
packed up and gone, vanished like I was missing/
couldn't stop and think about another night spent kissing/
all this time trying to make myself forget about the past/
no more days filled up with pain and broken glass/
every mirror I looked in was torment and a curse/
all I could see was a black casket riding in a hearse/
nightmares and terror, cold sweats and fear of death/
nothing would help to get these poisons out of my chest/
dying on the inside, not enough strength to go on/
so I tried to pick up the mic, and leave you with this song/
close your eyes now and share with me your pain/
cause when a storm is on the rise there will always be rain/
falling down like how we've all felt so close to the end/
so just hold my hand and I'll lead you, amen/
