BLACK CROWN

​

"Because it's the rules"

Teacher said to boy

 

"Not my rules"

He said

"No"

 

Talking in Ebonics

Talking in italics

Talking talking talking talking

Just remember

 

That you wear a crown

Oh-oh oh-oh

 

"Because it's the rules"

Policeman said to boy

"Not my rules"

He said

"No"

 

Who will love the prophet?

Who will love the madman?

Who will-

Who will-

Who will love the genius child?

Just remember

 

That you wear a crown

Oh-oh oh-oh

"Not my rules"

They said

"No"
