Prince

(Intro)
Yuh, yuh
Uh

(Verse 1)
She said she want kids with me
But I been, busy following my dreams
Spent too long running, it’s a long time coming
But now I finna gun it for the throne
Coming for the throne, now
Since track one I been wearing the crown
Yeah it’s been fun, but shit weighin’ me down
See I love my mama but when I come around
It’s real weird between us and I hate the sound of our silence
And it hurts my heart that we both used to, resort to violence
I hated the authority, was never a priority, to look at the majority
Of those that really cared for me

(Verse 2)
Though lookin’ at it morally, uh
I was the one that fucked up real bad
Never really learnt to appreciate the things that I had
I’m sorry mama, I swear, and I promise
That I changed, uh
Swear I’m going crazy, mentally deranged, yeah
Feeling these feelings, on the daily
Been being talked to like this shit is a crime
To spill out my feelings, telling what’s on my mind
If it is then hang me, uh
Used to lack motivation till I hooked up the gas
And that helped light a fire, up under my ass
I hooked up the feelings that I felt in the past
All my times of pain over fifteen years and a half
Fifteen years, shit
Sick of wearing a mask
Looking at those around like it’s time to recast

(Spoken Interlude)
It took me a long time to realise
That there are those certain people that will simply
Refuse to lose you
Because, they know subconsciously that
You would both fall apart, if they did

(Verse 3)
Can’t do what you love when people holding you back
Hard to actually love when you can’t get attached
But when it’s people you love, you gotta face the facts
I took a look at myself, put them above my raps
Realised it was me that was holding me back
My fam just wanted what they thought was the best
But I’m stuck tryna fill up the hole in my chest
With, girls and drugs and dreams and, fake friends
Who I later found out were just playing pretend
See when you locked in depression, feels like it won’t end
Cause you stressing ‘bout rumours, if they true and school and family too
My parents held back by their rent, rent, rent
While I sit in my room all alone and I vent
Hoping maybe someday I can preach to a kid
Making sure they never have to feel like I did
Like I did, uh
Whole life made to feel like I was the burden
I’ma take that hurt, turn it into a verse
Cause I’m so determined, and have been since
I wrote my very first line, now I’m next in line, I’m the
Prince

(Outro)
Aight, now slow it down for me
