Our take-off of a gansta-style rap laced with rock influences and a call-and-response vibe from our hip-hop vocalist 'Tone D'
A unique blend of hard rock, pop, hip hop and rap.
International Recording Artist The Almighty Grind (a.k.a. T.A.G.)
Story behind the song
This is a call and response type song motivated by the urban angst permeating our generation z. It's the 'good vs. evil' scenario... Barrio/Ghetto life vs. hard work and achievement. Stealing the Crown is about having what you've earned stripped away from you and the decisions you make, good or evil, to reclaim that which you've earned.
Lyrics
My crew’s tappin’ sidewalks when the drama starts…
…outlinin’ the opponent in chalk.
Lyrical tomahawk cut their nine in half before they graph to blast.
My sixth sense sensitive to the perspective.
Being a hardcore native makes me precognitive.
See the future through the universal eye before it’s active.
Givin’ them the six feet deep alternative.
Now, they’re on a journey through the tunnel towards the light
My eyes been round been round blocks. Seen…
… flocks of folks searching for American dreams.
Seems things not fit for…
…the heart of a compassionate felt more sophomore than fresh.Yet,…
…a senior at this and still…
…going through days with more thunder and rain don’t catch me upset.
But, these clouds look down and frown.
Man, they don’t understand me.
Why don’t they get it yet?
Bridge:
Ahhhhhh (Why don’t they get it yet?)
Ahhhhhh (Why don’t they understand?)
Ahhhhhh (Why don’t they get it yet?)
Ahhhhhh (Why don’t they get it yet?)
Chorus:
Stealing my crown.
Stealing my crown.
Holding me down.
Hoping I drown.
Building the wall.
Building the wall…
…against what’s been made for me.
Stealing my crown.
Stealing my crown.
Holding me down.
Hoping I drown.
Building the wall.
Building the wall…
…against what’s been made for me.
Verse 2:
So, let me skip the scene slick like a laxative.
Back at the lab we’re on the low incognito.
In other words, Shadow’s low pro with this life gamble.
Blow. Shake. Let em’ go…
…triple-six roll.
Should I trust the next man or could he be a foe?
Me and my crews in this together like Al Jarreau.
Shadow flips that verbal herbal slow flow for yours…
…mind’s wise like many lives resurrected like the crow. Ohhh.
We specialize in the rise of our…
…traveling through tunnel visions so far.
We came here with the realization so that…
…we came here to correct and to gain respect.
In this section of the main stream…
…the connection to the outer of our supreme being.
Now, for real, this is something y’all can feel from some original rappers out to reveal.
Ahhhhhh (The truth… Honesty.)
Ahhhhhh (Honesty… The truth.)
Ahhhhhh (Honesty… Honesty.)
Ahhhhhh
Chorus:
Stealing my crown.
Stealing my crown.
Holding me down.
Hoping I drown.
Building the wall.
Building the wall…
…against what’s been made for me.
Stealing my crown.
Stealing my crown.
Holding me down.
Hoping I drown.
Building the wall.
Building the wall…
…against what’s been made for me.
(made for me…)
(Guitar solo)
Chorus:
Stealing my crown.
Stealing my crown.
Holding me down.
Hoping I drown.
Building the wall.
Building the wall…
…against what’s been made for me.
Stealing my crown.
Stealing my crown.
Holding me down.
Hoping I drown.
Building the wall.
Building the wall…
…against what’s been made for me
