[Intro – soft warm piano, subtle ambient pad] Yeah This one's for the ones who stayed true [Verse 1 – smooth bass line, gentle rim clicks] They said bend a little just to get ahead Told me dim my light so the room won't dread Offered all the glitter that don't shine right Said I'd go far if I lost my fight [Pre-Chorus – building drums, rising vocal harmonies] I stood there quiet while they talked real loud Counted every line that I would not cross out [Chorus – full modern R&B beat, stacked vocals] This is my crown I don't bend it down Every scar I own is my solid ground I won't trade my soul for the crowd's applause What's built on lies always falls apart [Verse 2 – deeper bass, light hi hats] Seen the ones who sold it all to reach the top Watched them fade away when the cameras stop They got all the names they got all the fame But they wake up alone and don't know their name [Pre-Chorus – intensified rhythm, background adlibs] You can keep the throne that was never yours I'll keep the truth that they can't take from us [Chorus – thicker beat, powerful lead vocal runs] This is my crown I don't bend it down Every scar I own is my solid ground I won't trade my soul for the crowd's applause What's built on lies always falls apart [Bridge – stripped back piano, raw vulnerable vocals] Strength ain't never been about the loudest roar It's the quiet choice you make when they close the door You don't have to break you don't have to fall You can stand right here and be unbreakable [Interlude – smooth electric piano solo, soft drum groove] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full climax, gospel style background harmonies] This is my crown I don't bend it down Every scar I own is my solid ground I won't trade my soul for the crowd's applause What's built on truth will outlast it all [Outro – fading beat, soft vocal adlibs] You don't ever have to break Your strength is yours to keep
