PLASTIC CROWN

[Verse 1]
She got the 4 AM bus ticket back to Ikorodu tucked inside her bra.
The bouncer almost turned her back for the scuff on her fake leather.
Sipping one lukewarm Smirnoff Ice for two whole hours straight.
But when that log drum dropped, she move like she own the whole estate.

[Chorus]
Tonight she wear the plastic crown, o yeah.
Before the generator sound, e go fade.
Tonight she wear the plastic crown, o yeah.
Before the morning light come down, e go break.

[Verse 2]
Her friend dey whisper for her ear, "Omo, just dance till morning break, forget."
She know the owner's son is watching from the VIP glass cage.
He sees a girl, I see a blueprint for a life he'll never draw.
A skyscraper of resilience built on a cracked foundation floor.

[Chorus]
Tonight she wear the plastic crown, o yeah.
Before the generator sound, e go fade.
Tonight she wear the plastic crown, o yeah.
Before the morning light come down, e go break.

[Bridge]
And I go miss this picture, I swear down I go miss am.
Watching somebody live a thing they know they cannot keep.
This whole room is a photograph before the flash even finish.

[Outro]
The plastic crown...
Till the morning come.
