THE CROWN

The crown is not for the weak
For you to get to the peak
You must be resilient and determined 
Big dreams, bigger mountains to climb 
A thing for the great
Can't be reached by the ordinary 
Because they move in different spirits.

Ordinary people move with the crowd 
They settle for the less 
Greatness comes with loneliness 
They settle for nothing, if not the best
Going through many tests 
So many will misunderstand you 
Because you're out of their perspective 
In another dimension unknown to them
They'll always blame or laugh at you if you fail
But praise and applause you if you succeed.


To be great, you gotta be ready for hate
Because people don't like you
When you don't go their way
Or move like they move
 You are what you are and where you are 
Because you do what you think 
Thoughts and acts of greatness 
Will end in a life of greatness.
