BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Crown of Dust
- [Intro –Spoken, minimal beat]
- They all chase thrones made of gold.
- But gold rusts.
- Power fades.
- So I built my kingdom from the ruins they left…
- And I wear a crown of dust.
- [Verse 1]
- This ain’t a fairytale, this is blood in the dirt,
- Where the crown costs more than the diamonds are worth.
- They want fame, I want freedom —it’s not the same,
- They want noise, I want legacy carved in pain.
- See, I built this with cuts, with doubt, with decline,
- Stacked my setbacks like steps I could climb.
- They sit on thrones that’ll crumble with time,
- But I rise from the rubble —still perfectly aligned.
- [Chorus]
- Crown of dust, and a heart full of flame,
- Made my palace from the places they called me insane.
- I don’t rule from above, I walk with the fire,
- Led by the storm, but I climb even higher.
- No diamonds needed —my shine’s in my scars,
- No throne could define me —I reach for the stars.
- Let 'em worship the gold, let 'em rust if they must —
- I was made for the crown… made of dust.
- [Verse 2]
- They built kingdoms on lies —mine's built on truth,
- Built from the bones of the nights I knew.
- See, I don’t need applause, don’t chase the cheers,
- I built an empire from my worst years.
- Grief was the architect, loss laid the stone,
- I sat on the ruins till I claimed my own.
- Now every line I spit is a legacy key,
- Unlockin’ the kingship they never could see.
- [Bridge –melodic/echoed, airy yet grounded]
- What they saw as broken, I wore like a sign,
- Every crack was a map to the purpose I find.
- I don’t rise for the crown —I rise for the dust,
- For the boy who believed when the world said, “You must…”
- [Chorus –repeat with more energy, full instrumental]
- Crown of dust, and a heart full of flame,
- Made my palace from the places they called me insane.
- I don’t rule from above, I walk with the fire,
- Led by the storm, but I climb even higher.
- No diamonds needed —my shine’s in my scars,
- No throne could define me —I reach for the stars.
- Let 'em worship the gold, let 'em rust if they must —
- I was made for the crown… made of dust.
- [Outro –Spoken, fading into ambient sound]
- You don’t need a throne to rule your path.
- Just the will to rise…
- From everything they thought would bury you.
- Part Six complete.
- Dust. Fire. Legacy.
