The Crown by Kyle Alston Lyrics
You say you're a king, but you act like a pauper
You're far from close to being proper
And you say you've done no wrong?
Well somebody must've framed you Rabbit, Mr. Roger
What have you done to help your "loyal subjects?"
When young ladies interact with you
Are you showing them the kind of man they should want to be with?
When young dudes come to you for help
Are you helping them to become better men?
Are you talking good sense, or nonsense
Late night, David Letterman
Before you crowned yourself, have you even served your community?
Have you done anything to promote justice and unity?
Or have you just rambled on and on about nothing
While you persuade those blank minds to simply "tune-in to me"
You think you're the best thing smokin'
But in reality, in your air, people are chokin'
But they don't say a single word
Because for some strange reason it's in you they are hopin'
It makes me wanna puke
When your true colors are revealed
Despite you suggesting that what you've done is real
I won't even have to say "You're a fluke"
Then from your high place I'll see you fall without a parachute
Now I'll tell you who the crown belongs to
He's the One who
Made sure the people He touched were not destitute
He turned water into wine and fed thousands at one time
Believe me it's the truth
He healed the sick, made a blind man see
Spoke to the seas, and told them to be still
When it seemed like doom and oncoming calamity
He raised the dead, and later He died
And once again God raised the dead
And He gives true peace to those dealing with insanity
Can you please understand me?
Man you're a rookie not a veteran
You're doing the things that'll make you lose
But you make it known to all you were bred to win
You say you're goin' out well then I guess Ima have to go in
Gotta look at my future, and yea it's bright
So yea I'm sneak peakin'
I just thank God for the vision
Man you need a plan without holes I see yours is leakin'
See the problem is you're chasin' benjamins
When it is the Word you should be takin' in
Too bad you're so stuck on television
You can't even focus enough
To see what you've been missin', please listen
So unless you're in Christ take off your crown
Because the one you've got on is counterfeit
And now I see your haughty smile turn into a frown a bit
You're just mad because the truth hurts
And now you wanna go ham and then go berserk
But do you even know its worth?
While you sittin' there sippin' on your purp
Don't even speak to me
Ima teach you to talk right, then charge you a learner's fee
Show you how it's supposed to be
Man you must know it costs to live godly
Persecuted and misunderstood for living for Christ can't you see?
Song of my life while they play the keys
But it's alright though
I live for Christ, not the pesos
I'm not livin' for this world, yea I say so
But go ahead and get at me though
Please receive Christ today because it's not about the YOLO
Right from the start
Jesus' been the true King
So man take the crown off your flesh
Lest you continue in your foolish ways
And get stung by life, bee sting
And sure for a time you may be beasting
But the real glory and crown will forever be on Christ
The Real Thing
You're far from close to being proper
