Lyrics

King

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Uh, uh

Pharaohs summon the slaves

Kings were peasants kneelin' down to 'em

All on my name, S-A

Emperors on the rooftop

With the same amount of seats that a coupe got

Ex-rulers turned ex-convicts

Time to count down like the bomb lit

So how we come to power

When the talk of selling our souls or worshipin' owls?

And this is not that, it's that assassin

Like I aim at top hats and cock back

No combat to get maul like where you shop at

Nigga it's [?] like a comrade

While they pray, I sing (sing)

And one day, I'll be king (king)

Yeah

Uh, one day (one day)

King (king)

Uh

Kings only kneel to gods

How your ark be reached and when we die become deities?

No trinity, just eyein' me

The irony, we still spreadin' war in spite of peace

Like deuces, how I'm wild in the booth is

Spit from the guns that kids pick up to school wit'

And the same tongue Adam bit the fruit wit'

Rulers say what the number one rule is

Autobiography, I am an author

I'm at these nigga's heads like barbers

Pardon my aggressiveness, but to them, I am God and they best repent

And I get my point across where your message is

And they don't ever get the throne like they next like ken

Uh, while they pray, I preach

'Cause some day, I'll be king

Uh, one day (one day)

King (king)

One day, I'll be king

Uh, see, even as a fetus, a thumb and two fingers was all that I needed

Needless to say, when my grip came, I became a monster

A pen and a piss stain, I was marchin' like the leaders

Yeah, you know the two got popped like leaders

So when you lead us, and what you drink 'em

Now Martin and Malcolm's, Tyrone and Jamal

One of 'em move weight and the other plays ball

And they was down one day at this park

Till they walked on the cypher and they caught one ball

Uh, king (king)
