Crown lyrics

[Chorus: Stormzy]

Searchin' every corner of my mind

Lookin' for the answers I can't find

I have my reasons and life has its lessons

I try to be grateful and count all my blessings

But heavy is the head that wears the crown

[Verse 1: Stormzy]

Amen, in Jesus' name, yes, I declare it

Any little seed I receive, I have to share it

Bruddas wanna break me down, I can't bear it

But heavy is the head with the crown, I still wear it

You can't hold me down, I still cope

Rain falling down at the BRITs, I'm still soaked

Try to put a hole in our ship, we'll build boats

Two birds with one stone, I'll kill both (One)

Pray I never lose and pray I never hit the shelf (Two)

Promise if I do that you'll be checkin' on my health (Cool)

If it's for my people, I'll do anything to help

If I do it out of love, it's not to benefit myself, ooh

Gotta stay around, but make a comeback too

I know my only mother wants her son back too

They sayin' I'm the voice of the young black youth

And then I say, "Yeah, cool," and then I bun my zoot

And now I'm

[Chorus: Stormzy & LJ Singers]

Searchin' every corner of my mind

(Search every corner, look for the answers)

Lookin' for the answers I can't find

(No, I can't find 'em, no silver lining)

I have my reasons and life has its lessons

I try to be grateful and count all my blessings

But heavy is the head that wears the crown

[Verse 2: Stormzy]

Amen, in Jesus' name, oh yes, I claim it

Any little bread that I make, I have to break it

Bruddas wanna break me down, I can't take it

I done a scholarship for the kids, they said it's racist

That's not anti-white, it's pro-black

Hang me out to dry, I won't crack

All these fancy ties and gold plaques

Never had no silver spoons in our mouths, we sold, like

Don't comment on my culture, you ain't qualified

Stab us in the back and then apologise

If you knew my story, you'd be horrified

The irony of trappin' on a Boris bike

Gotta stay alive and save my brother as well

Look at all these legends on the cover of Elle

Long time comin' but we come to prevail

I guess a little bit of heaven has to come with the hell, you know?

[Chorus: Stormzy & LJ Singers]

Searchin' every corner of my mind

(Search every corner, look for the answers)

Lookin' for the answers I can't find

(No, I can't find 'em, no silver lining)

I have my reasons and life has its lessons

I try to be grateful and count all my blessings

But heavy is the head that wears the crown

[Outro: LJ Singers]

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
