To the hood ladies, 

The ones who carry pain with grace
and shine like diamonds in silence. 

The women who learned survival before softness. 
Who keep going even when life gets heavy. 
 

Too often, nobody asks 
how you keep holding it together.

 
And still, you show up.
Still, you protect.
Still, you love. 
 
This drop is for women 
who wear invisible crowns every day. 
 
HEAVY IS THE CROWN. 
Yet you wear it like queens. 
We see you. 
and we honor you.
