Crownless Boss

Verse

You wear the crown like it's rented, stitched with other people's shine

Big talk, bigger showroom, but the heart ain't in the design

They play your anthem on repeat, while the truth sits in the wings

All that weight you brag about? It's hollow, just a set of strings

You preach the boss life, diamond-studded in the light

But when the curtains close you're searching for a script to write

Voice like thunder, but the thunder sure sounds borrowed

You built a mansion out of mirrors, now the mirrors show tomorrow

Chorus

Crownless boss, gilded lies, watch your paper fortress fold

Crownless boss, hollow throne, all your stories getting old

Crownless boss, silver tongue, but the rust is showing gold

Crownless boss, king in name, I expose the man you sold

Verse

Maybach dreams and staged parades, cameras love the stage you set

But royalty on display don't mean your soul's been met

You sold a myth, sealed it in a vault of smoke and glass

When the lights stop flashing, who’s left to answer for the past?

Your empire's made of postcards, every king a photograph

Cashmere and fairy tales, but real kings never laugh

You claim the streets, you claim the crown, but it's a role you play

I came to write the footnotes, ink your legend in decay

Chorus

Crownless boss, gilded lies, watch your paper fortress fold

Crownless boss, hollow throne, all your stories getting old

Crownless boss, silver tongue, but the rust is showing gold

Crownless boss, king in name, I expose the man you sold

Bridge

All the trophies on your shelf mean nothing when the mirror speaks

A king without an army, just a shadow that retreats

I carve the truth in asphalt, let the echoes prove my claim

You sold a throne to silence critics, I came to light the flame

Chorus

Crownless boss, gilded lies, watch your paper fortress fold

Crownless boss, hollow throne, all your stories getting old

Crownless boss, silver tongue, but the rust is showing gold

Crownless boss, king in name, I expose the man you sold

Outro

So keep your banners bright and your chrome that blinds the sun

When the crowd forgets the party, who's the boss when it's undone?
