[Intro: Rapsody]
Hey... hey you there, where's your crown?
You didn't leave the house without your crown, did you?
Just as sure as the earth is round
We bounce back up when they throw us down
So... so don't forget your crown
And hold your head high
Like you caught a glimpse of God through the clouds and you stuck in awe
Don't worry we got y'all
Mind and body, body and mind, tell 'em homies
The world is bigger than your street and mine
And that color and this
And every shade of our skin is rich
Knowing your future depends on our involvement
So... block boys, block boys
It's in our hands more than Parliament
The gun can kill or the gun can save
Rather congratulate a stage than carry him to a grave
That's responsibility
My brother's keeper, my sister's big sister
Life full of lemons we just gotta add a little sugar to
To those sweet dreams, you can be anything
Go farther than me, be better than him, climb higher than her
And never ever let 'em knock your crown, that's my word
All hands on deck
Making kings and queens of all cards we dealt
Jamla, Roc Nation
Let's go

[Rapsody]
Uh, I lied to momma one time when I was eleven
Ridin in the car she told me something I won't forget it
"Truth gon' chase the light, no matter what night that you said it"
It make me feel so low, she peeled my feelings back like lettuce
With no salad, told me save all of the carriage for the ballads
Now I'm droppin jewels as if we gave up on the marriage
I know it's hard to handle, we ain't came here in no carriage
The hood is for the rain and where they throw us is the barracks
Where we learn to +Master+ +Beast+ without a panther or a ferret
It came out in the '80s', same as me, I was a baby
And what I learned 'bout life is Lord is sure is not the fairest
If your skin ain't as fair as all the Beckys, Tiffanys, and Sarahs
Black don't crack, Obama ain't flinch
I sat inside that White House havin conversations
How boys turn to men if we show 'em more than the rims
If they jumpin high for the rims, ain't a goal that we cannot win
I'm settin picks for you and them, I hope you roll off
Million black graduates, woo! Just go and show off
Reachin out to everyone from the top to block y'all
+Lemonade+ pitchers we grew up with, what's a curve ball?
Made something out of nothing, better out of worse
Take care of your own, I know I gotta do that first
I know there's power in my time, I know there's power in a verse
Tell a kid good job and tell him go hard on the work
You know the world you grew up in is very small compared to earth
It's the worst they lied and told you your limits on the future
Y'all can brush it off though, came back around and groom ya
Me, Alicia, Talib, Busta, everyone and you ya - AHH~!!!

[Chorus]
In life there ain't no rullles, rule
Whatever you dream you can doooo, do
They tell me I'm a KING! Woo!
They tell me I'm a QUEEN! Woo!
In life there ain't no rullllles, rule
Whatever you dream you can doooo, do
They tell me I'm a KING! Woo!
They tell me I'm a QUEEN! Woo!
