Corner Store Prophecy 4

Verse

Corner store fluorescent hum, 5 a.m.

Same block, different kind of fame

Popsicle stick crown on the shelf

Ice in a bottle cap, no cup to hold it

Watched you circle twice before you dropped your gold

Two-step rhythm got the whole street turning

Crown don't sparkle till the crownholder's coming

Pre-Chorus

You could've just walked by and kept the secret

Why you calling my name when the room was setting

Chorus

Turn the corner, the spotlight finds us

We ain't chasing a crown, we got it in the muscle

Step to the left, they see the swagger

The whole block moving like nobody asked for it yet, just grabber

Verse

You were holding your breath before you called my name

I was just walking through, no intention, no claim to fame

Ice on the windowsill catching amber and fire

Your hand up first, I'm just the one who got higher

You say I don't know what this means yet

Means we moving like we own it, that's how we get set free from regret

No crown, no diamond, just shoulders and swagger

This the kind of power they can't measure or rattle

Pre-Chorus

You could've just walked by and kept the secret

Why you calling my name when the room was setting

Chorus

Turn the corner, the spotlight finds us

We ain't chasing a crown, we got it in the muscle

Step to the left, they see the swagger

The whole block moving like nobody asked for it yet, just grabber

Bridge

Ice melts before you get the ring on my finger

I don't need the gold when I already glitter

You chose me in the silence when the room was sleeping

That's a crown that never rusts or is breathing

Chorus

Turn the corner, the spotlight finds us

We ain't chasing a crown, we got it in the muscle

Step to the left, they see the swagger

The whole block moving like nobody asked for it yet, just grabber
