Iron Crown 33

Verse

I was working nine-to-five at the bank's stone wall

Counting pennies that made my blood stall

Then I saw your picture on a flyer in the club

Fame came knocking, but it wasn't that much

Just rent and groceries stacked up like a throne

Every day the same face, no sun, no home

So I took the mic like it was a second job

Turned my name into a name you'd know for more than just a debt, for more than just a door

Pre-Chorus

I don't chase diamonds, I don't chase gold

Just the feeling when the whole room knows your name, that's worth more than all of it combined

Chorus

Now I'm wearing iron on my sleeve tonight

Every single face in here is mine to lose or win tonight

Verse 2

I went from living off a hundred dollars per week

To selling out the arena for the same amount each time that week

Now the money's pouring but it don't feel like home

I'm still sleeping on my couch, that's all I know

The critics say I'm fake, I'm scripted, I'm a lie

But every single word I spit comes from trying to survive

Pre-Chorus

I don't chase diamonds, I don't chase gold

Just the feeling when the whole room knows your name, that's worth more than all of it combined

Chorus

Now I'm wearing iron on my sleeve tonight

Every single face in here is mine to lose or win tonight

Bridge

Maybe fame's not forever

Maybe it's just a paycheck

But right now the whole world's watching

So how do you turn that down?

I ain't chasing crowns, I was just chasing peace of mind

Standing on this stage with nothing left behind

Chorus

Now I'm wearing iron on my sleeve tonight

Every single face in here is mine to lose or win tonight
