Crown (feat. Portugal. The Man)

I've been gloomin' and doomin' so long
 I don't think I can carry on down
 This long and winding road now
 Can't you see that doom's been gloomin' too long
 But I don't doubt we can stick it out
 So when you hold me, hold me closer
 Severed is the head that wears the crown
 Bleedin' through people to see these stars
 I'm needed in cities, large
 Look down, tote out
 Break down these walls
 A stupid man could evolve
 Losers told me I wouldn't be on the Earth for this long
 My resurgence was strong, what do I do this for?
 Gotta relieve, gotta release, everything beautiful
 My fabric needs, kiss my niece, money don't soothe the soul
 Ain't nobody perfect anyway, mama poured a glass of minute-maid
 Rid me from the evils thataway, the ones I gotta say
 We could start a commotion
 We can't help it, it's perpetual motion (motion)
 It's just a drop in the ocean (ocean)
 My crown of thorns in the city of roses, yeah
 But it feels so right
 
 And it feels so right
 Real music's still with it
 Fake niggas don't get on
 Just a message to myself
 Mirror, mirror, on the wall
 This that Arc, Portugal.,
 Meechy Dark, just go off
 This my destiny written on the wall
 Played my part
 Real music's still with it
 Fake niggas don't get on
 Just a message to myself
 Mirror, mirror, on the wall
 This that Arc, Portugal.,
 Meechy Dark, just go off
 This my destiny written on the wall
 Played my part
 I've been gloomin' and doomin' so long
 I don't think I can carry on down,
 This long and winding road now
 Can't you see that doom's been gloomin' too long
 But I don't doubt we can stick it out,
 So when you hold me, hold me closer
 Severed is the head that wears the crown
 No one gets out alive
 So we live like we already died
 No one will ever understand but the sky
 Sometimes it's just hard to focus with these voices inside the mind
 I'm a demon to some
 I'm an angel to others
 Gotta die for what you love or love until it kills you
 Don't be the type to talk about shit and not live it
 I manifested every single one of my visions
 So I only blame myself when I don't make it to the finish
 Please don't let this perception become your reflection
 Uh, but excuse my aggression 'cause my tribe called for questions
 If I'm made in God's image,
 Tell me why am I blemished?
 Simple question, huh, quite perplexin'
 Them snakes will say they love you but hate you,
 That's type deceptive
 My voice a controlled substance, ingest this
 Might fuck around and fail your drug test, reckless
 I've been gloomin' and doomin' so long
 I don't think I can carry on down
 This long and winding road now
 Can't you see that doom's been gloomin' too long
 But I don't doubt we can stick it out,
 So when you hold me, hold me closer
 Severed is the head that wears the crown
 Real music's still with it
 Fake niggas don't get on
