[Verse 1]
Hello, hello, step down off your pedestal
The world's not big enough for your ego
Freak of nature, always need control
Thought you had me on a leash, but I'm cutting the cord
[Pre-Chorus]
Ring, ring, ring, reality check
Ship is sink-sinking, and I'm not on deck
Raise your white flag, 'cause you breakin' the code
I got the coast guard, watchdogs on patrol
[Chorus]
Raise your flag, give it up
Had a good run, jig is up
It's time to lay down your crown
'Bout time to lay down your crown
Give it up, give it up
Getting nowhere, keep it up
It's time to lay down your crown
'Bout time to lay down your crown
[Verse 2]
Uh-oh, uh-oh, ooh, you're so delusional
Don't reach for your pistol, 'cause I'm quicker on the draw
Lone ranger, don't need you at all
Riding that high horse, but you 'bout to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Ring, ring, ring, reality check
Ship is sink-sinking, and I'm not on deck, deck
Haddy ha, superstar, you should know
You were only shining 'cause I gave you the glow
[Chorus]
Raise your flag, give it up
Had a good run, jig is up
It's time to lay down your crown
'Bout time to lay down your crown
Give it up, give it up
Getting nowhere, keep it up
It's time to lay down your crown
'Bout time to lay down your crown
[Bridge]
Flirted with danger, but I'm no stranger
You could try to flex, but don't forget who made ya
I let you run the place, you're down on the board
Turnin' the tables, now I'm making the call
Raise your flag, give it up
Had a good run, jig is up
It's time to lay down your crown
'Bout time to lay down your crown
[Chorus]
Raise your flag, give it up
Had a good run, jig is up
It's time to lay down your crown
'Bout time to lay down your crown
Give it up, give it up
Getting nowhere, keep it up
It's time to lay down your crown
'Bout time to lay down your crown
