"Ambition Of The Crown" lyrics
Slaine & Statik Selektah Lyrics
(feat. Millyz)
[Slaine:]
I know I made some bad choices in that haze I was in
Lookin' up from the bottom where my days would begin
I like to play with fire but it's a dangerous thing
When the ambition is the crown and you aim for the king
Wear my heart on my sleeve
Lookin' back on those days now, perhaps I was still too naive
Maybe I was just on one
Could be I'm on the wrong road, maybe it's just a long one
I feel like my karma's catchin' up to me
I'm involved in this drama and extra fuckery
I been evolving the longest but just enough to be
Back as a target, but I know where my heart is
It's always been a cut above it
I made my first joints with a gutter budget
Product of my era, you gotta love it
White sold by the onion for the funding
Bold and stunning, it all begun then as a youngin
It's something to climb the ranks with cunning
Diamond in the rough
I been in it for a while, hope my timing isn't up
Salt and pepper in my hair, voice is prominent and gruff
Y'all been livin' on consignment in the cut
I done tasted yayo and fame, faced betrayal and pain
Thanks for playin' the game, gangster, stay in your lane
If I could add up everything they told me
And put it all to use, I woulda always stayed the old me
I know I made some bad choices in that haze I was in
Lookin' up from the bottom where my days would begin
I like to play with fire but it's a dangerous thing
When the ambition is the crown and you aim for the king
[Millyz:]
Federalis on my heels, I pray we duck indictments
Used to do it for the thrill, now I'm like "fuck excitement"
They taste forbidden fruit then find out that shit doesn't ripen
Killed him over Twitter beef, watch what the fuck you typin'
This 40 on me like the middle age, rappin' but I'm on a bigger stage
Women wanna get engaged, goin' through a different phase
Sometime I look at life and feel a bit dismayed
Surrounded by these jealous hearts, they envious with bitter ways
Closer to the finish line than where I started
Heavy hearted, ain't scared of COVID, I already caught it
Struggling for air, it had me breathin' in the pot
Organizing music files so they can know what to drop
If I die along this ride, at least I got my amusement
Sped kid at sixth grade, the teachers said I'm a nuisance
I knew since the day I picked up this music I'd be the truest to do this
Just play the beat, I make a movie, Stanley Kubrick
My brother Slaine got sober, I'm thinkin' maybe it's time I do it as well
Can't see it but I feel it like braille
Lotta people scared to try 'cause there's a chance they could fail
System gave my brody life, I pray they grant an appeal, and that's real
And that's real
And that's real
And that's real
[Slaine:]
I know I made some bad choices in that haze I was in
Lookin' up from the bottom where my days would begin
I like to play with fire but it's a dangerous thing
When the ambition is the crown and you aim for the king
I know I made some bad choices in that haze I was in
Lookin' up from the bottom where my days would begin
I like to play with fire but it's a dangerous thing
When the ambition is the crown and you aim for the king
Wear my heart on my sleeve
Lookin' back on those days now, perhaps I was still too naive
Maybe I was just on one
Could be I'm on the wrong road, maybe it's just a long one
I feel like my karma's catchin' up to me
