Concrete Crown

[Intro]
[Hook]
Watch the throne, SE15
Lyrical queen, know what I mean
Concrete crown, silver and gold
Story that needs to be told
Yeah, I’m taking the lead
Sowing the seed, watch me succeed
[Verse]
Cramped in the kitchen, scribbling lines
Sirens are humming like wind in the pines
No heating in winter, just heat in my breath
Chasing a vision, ignoring the death
Of the dreams that they told me were never for me
Now I’m the one that they’re dying to see
From the council block to the top of the chart
Keeping it real, yeah I’m playing my part
[Pre-Chorus]
Glitch in the system, I’m breaking the code
Heavy the bass, yeah I’m taking the road
Mic in my hand and the fire in my chest
Testing the best, put the rest to the rest
[Chorus]
Sub-bass shaking the floorboards
Winning the war with the four chords
They said I wouldn’t, I said I would
Straight out the hood, doing it good
Yeah, I’m the one with the metallic flow
Watch how I glow, watch how I go
[Post-Chorus]
Watch how I go
Watch how I glow
SE15, yeah you already know
[Verse]
They’re talking that talk but they’re walking in circles
Dodging the snakes and I’m dodging the turtles
Slow and steady? Nah, fast and deadly
Mixing the grime with a pop-star medley
Open mic nights in the back of a pub
Now I’m the headline, I’m running the club
You pree the fit and you pree the flow
But you ain't got the heart for the show
[Build-up]
Metallic clink on the beat
Feel the heat on the street
Rising up from the concrete
Never accept a defeat
[Drop]
(Glitchy synth solo with heavy sub-bass wobble)
[Bridge]
D minor dark, but the future is bright
Owning the city, I’m owning the night
From the 36 bus to a private jet
Giving them something they’ll never forget
No more Oyster cards in the rain
Switching the lane, numbing the pain
[Chorus]
Sub-bass shaking the floorboards
Winning the war with the four chords
They said I wouldn’t, I said I would
Straight out the hood, doing it good
Yeah, I’m the one with the metallic flow
Watch how I glow, watch how I go
[Hook]
Watch the throne, SE15
Lyrical queen, know what I mean
Concrete crown, silver and gold
Story that needs to be told
Yeah, I’m taking the lead
Sowing the seed, watch me succeed
[Outro]
