[Verse 1] I don’t clap for the crowd I don’t trade my name for loud I keep my eye on the work On the life I’m building now I move like a sealed vow Steady hands, steady ground You can search for me in noise I’m where the truth is found [Pre-Chorus] I was made for more than scenes More than copies, more than means I don’t bend for easy praise I don’t wear a borrowed face My peace is not for sale My soul don’t follow trails If you need me, come correct Come with substance, come with depth [Chorus] I am my own crown I stand my own ground (own crown, own ground) I am my own crown I don’t need the crowd I don’t need it now (no, not now) I am my own crown [Verse 2] I watch the room with a calm eye Read the tone in a passing line If it matches my spirit Then I let it in my life If it doesn’t, I just pass by No regret, no extra try I protect what made me whole That’s the law I live by I’m a blueprint in motion A quiet force, a clear devotion Every choice I make is mine Every scar is sacred iron [Pre-Chorus] I was built from inner steel Not the way the world feels I don’t shrink to fit the frame I don’t answer to a game My peace is not for sale My soul don’t follow trails If you need me, come correct Come with substance, come with depth [Chorus] I am my own crown I stand my own ground (own crown, own ground) I am my own crown I don’t need the crowd I don’t need it now (no, not now) I am my own crown [Bridge] Let the copies chase the shine I got legacy in mind I’m the author and the keeper Of the woman I define No applause can make me real No pressure breaks my seal I’m a sanctuary with a spine And I’m exactly what is mine [Final Chorus] I am my own crown I stand my own ground (own crown, own ground) I am my own crown I don’t need the crowd I don’t need it now (no, not now) I am my own crown I rise, I rise, I rise With my whole life in my eyes (own crown) I am my own crown
