Take Your Throne

[Intro] "Empires won by conquest have always fallen either by revolt within Or by defeat by a rival." John Boyd Orr [Verse 1] To the man of misfortune, they can’t imagine The life of wars, the things you’ve done and seen But despite your offenses, and tough skinned pretenses I see you live, you love, like them, you dream And I know it’s your pride But I see it in your eyes The beauty you hide All your faults aside I see it behind your eyes Your grace and all your strength seem to hide [Chorus Bridge 1] Time, tries, strife You survive Inside Less than paradise [Chorus] School don’t teach, you learn the streets Visions play of your nothing Stranger to your worth How do I appreciate What you've always seemed to hate Reclaim what’s your own Take your throne [Verse 2: Geronimus] See loving you is loving me Be one with me Lean back comfortably Underneath I’m tryna peak at what you keep inside You think I wouldn’t understand Baby you might be surprised Half decent guy tryna make you smile through it Roll away the pain, couple thousand miles cruisin’ We live with what we’re given You and I could not choose this So let’s work with what we got when they say we cannot do it Nothing but love for you Baby I’ll prove it A little brown fluid Some slow down music Dance real close, if you gotta cry through it I don’t mind, take your time, you and I, we’re both human And I promise just to love you more And I’m trying just to love you better Cuz loving you is loving me Don’t forget [Chorus Bridge 2] Oh oh oh (See lovin you is lovin me) (We live with what we're given) Oh oh oh (So let's work with what we got when they say we cannot) Time, tries, strife You survive Inside Less than paradise [Chorus]
