This is a tattoo inspired by Lupe Fiasco's "Gold Watch" - the letters read "The wings don't make you fly & the crown don't make you king" - via Jeremy T.
just because you have the tangible things that are often associated with a certain person or being, does not mean that you are truly that inside and out. (just cause u have a gun and a chain doesnt make you a gangsta, just cause you have an expensive watch doesnt make you a status symbol, just cause you have a crown doesnt make you a king!)
^True, just why I got it.All of the material things like jewelry, cash, cars and clothes(wings and crowns) dont define who you are, its your true character n who you are as a person.
what does this line actually mean? anyone care the break it down? it's always bugged me everytime i hear it!

ReplyDeletethe chinese characters are terribly wrong
ReplyDeleteit says (in poorly written characters that barely makes sense):
first row: wings won't let you fly
second row: don't want crowne
Theres 3 rows to it, and its simplified chinese
