[Verse 1] I came up on a block with the rent due Mama kept a jar where the light came through Two jobs, one key, one plate on the stove I learned quick what a promise was worth in gold They said, "Stay small," I said, "Watch me move" Fresh creases in my jeans, no shoes to prove I was late to the feast, but I came with taste Now the same cold room got a gold frame face [Pre-Chorus] Hold up, hold up See me now Too many nights I was low down Hold up, hold up Count this now Every scar on me got a name now [Chorus] Corner store crown Corner store crown I wear it loud I wear it proud Corner store crown Corner store crown Been through the fire Still stand my ground [Verse 2] Back seat dreams with a cracked phone screen I was stacking little wins in between the screams No map, just a gut and a busted plan Still I made a lane out of empty cans Old friends switched when the checks got blue I kept one eye on mine and one on you 'Cause I know what hunger do to a heart It can split a man clean if you fall apart [Pre-Chorus] Hold up, hold up See me now Too many nights I was low down Hold up, hold up Count this now Every scar on me got a name now [Chorus] Corner store crown Corner store crown I wear it loud I wear it proud Corner store crown Corner store crown Been through the fire Still stand my ground [Bridge] No velvet seat No borrowed name Just calloused hands And a new kind of flame I kept that grit I kept that grace Now every little doubt got kicked out the place [Chorus] Corner store crown Corner store crown I wear it loud I wear it proud Corner store crown Corner store crown Been through the fire Still stand my ground [Outro] Yeah, I came from the shelf and the paper bag Now my whole life feel like a victory lap Corner store crown (corner store crown) Corner store crown (corner store crown)
