Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can try and take away my crown
But I will never let my kingdom down
When I put it on, it's on for real
Damn, I wear it so well
[Verse 2]
I know that they're comin' for my throne
But I'm the one who got here on my own
When I put it on, it's on for real
Damn, I wear it so well
[Verse 3]
I can still feel your eyes on me like a spotlight
You held me up, up so high
So tell me, was it all lies?
Everything that I've done
Has got me where I wanna be
So, baby, why'd you have to leave?
Whoa, oh
[Verse 4]
When you got the world in your hands
Seems like everyone wants you to fail
It's like I've got a target on my back
Take a shot at me, take a shot for me
[Verse 5]
You can try and take away my crown
But I will never let my kingdom down
When I put it on, it's on for real
Damn, I wear it so well
[Verse 6]
I know that they're comin' for my throne
But I'm the one who got here on my own
When I put it on, it's on for real
Damn, I wear it so well
[Verse 7]
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Damn, I wear it so well
[Verse 8]
I can see all the hands reaching out to touch me
Everyone wants a piece just so they can judge me
I thought I had your heart but you let me down
And left me standing all alone
But I'ma still put on a show
Oh
[Verse 9]
When you got the world in your hands
Seems like everyone wants you to fail
It's like I've got a target on my back
Take a shot at me, take a shot for me
[Verse 10]
You can try and take away my crown
But I will never let my kingdom down
When I put it on, it's on for real
Damn, I wear it so well
[Verse 11]
I know that they're comin' for my throne
But I'm the one who got here on my own
When I put it on, it's on for real
Damn, I wear it so well
[Verse 12]
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Damn, I wear it so well
[Verse 13]
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Damn, I wear it so well
