Kingdom Under Glass (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Concrete held my palm like it owed me something

Cracked where the frost got deep, still kept on giving

Six years of a thousand nights and none went quiet

Counted every promise that the daylight forgot

Glass cracked on the corner store window

Barefoot on the counter where the cold floor hums

Every dollar I saved was a debt repaid somehow

To the block that raised me under all this gray

Chorus

I got a kingdom under glass, six floors tall and quiet

Fortune built on nothing but the sound of it

Glass don't break like skin, cracks just keep it clear

This the way I learned to hold my crown right here

Verse

Uncle had a bench, winter kept him up all night

Wrote his name in letters only frost can read tonight

I sat beside him with a lighter and a pen

Said one day this whole street's going be our mansion again

Tayvion was the king of knocking on the door

Never took a thing that wasn't offered, never wanted more

I watched how mercy moves like water through the cracks

Built my throne off kindness when the world kept asking back

Chorus

I got a kingdom under glass, six floors tall and quiet

Fortune built on nothing but the sound of it

Glass don't break like skin, cracks just keep it clear

This the way I learned to hold my crown right here

Bridge

They say you only carry what you can defend

I say that's a kingdom made of something far more tender

Every window that survived this winter, that's my throne

Ain't built on gold, I built it out of every home

Chorus

I got a kingdom under glass, six floors tall and quiet

Fortune built on nothing but the sound of it

Glass don't break like skin, cracks just keep it clear

This the way I learned to hold my crown right here
