Pay the paper, not the people
Always honing and learning
In the end, connections are nothing
Never ever for free
The moment greed for essence stops, you fall behind
Circling outside interest, nurturing the futile

๐ต Song Meaning & Interpretation
The lyrics reclaim the crowโoften viewed as a sign of misfortuneโas a symbol of hunger, endurance, and self-made ambition. Born without privilege or a secure nest, the narrator treats hardship as training rather than defeat, refusing to trust luck, connections, or empty applause. Success is pursued through discipline, constant learning, and devotion to oneโs craft, even when the chase becomes painful. Rising beyond the flock, the underdog embraces a relentless hunger, overturns imposed order, and keeps flying toward the crown with unyielding resolve.
