For The Kings |
| This is for the kings, queens, pawns, rooks and |
| All of the stories being torn from books |
| I realised from the day that we were born |
| We look for the vibrating harmony this form had shook |
| I started out as a toy like just everyone else |
| Ben Delta: my close friends call me Delts |
| I heard Rakim talk about knowledge of self |
| While the rest were just trying to be bad like L. L |
| But moreso, '84, my brother Shaun I saw |
| Perform raw B-boy movement on a concrete floor |
| These memories will endlessly drive my pen |
| Four kids in a circle playing breaker’s revenge |
| Rode with my grandmother on rusty red hens |
| When tags were up rocking and burnt us head spins |
| Heavy was the head forced to wear the crown |
| Yet to lessen the burden, friends share it around |
| With the island for a castle, coast for a moat |
| Say the grace, place a name to the face that gave hope |
| Prince Ken Swift freezes, Lee Munn pieces |
| Criminal mind and 9 millimeter teachers |
| All City Style, wore Ultra Mag easers |
| Saw the streets of New York through a Kool G. Rap thesis |
| Saw the day in Jemiah, I boarded a plane |
| To flow rotten apple cider inside a cold vein amongst |
| Kings, queens, pawns, rooks and |
| All of the stories being torn from books |
| I realised from the day that we were born |
| We look for the vibrating harmony this form had shook |
| (Hook) x2 |
| For the kings, queens, pawns, rooks and |
| All of the stories being torn from books |
| I realised from the day that we were born |
| We look for the vibrating harmony this form had shook |
| You see a king without a queen may die a lonely man |
| Love isn’t a god. |
| It’s a fist enclosed within an open hand |
| We grope the sands of time, in the hope we can refine |
| Emotion to understand divine |
| Expose an expanded mind, for those stranded on winding roads |
| When I’m in rhyming mode. |
| Blue R I flow pen |
| Autographs signed no end |
| Your bar fights saw a show close again |
| Carpark script goes for ten minutes in all |
| To battle hardship we M.C. |
| Not in it to brawl |
| Mortality, Your Majesty, kingdoms fall |
| Saw crims in Jordan Fours, Tims worn in storms |
| Kings born as jesters. |
| There’s been supporters and hecklers |
| Still endured to the break of dawn’s breakfast was fit for a king |
| Spit polish your crown to spawn thorns from within |
| A fortress laid down |
| For the kings, queens, pawns, rooks and |
| All of the stories being torn from books |
| I realised from the day that we were born |
| We had looked for the vibrating harmony this form had shook |
| (Hook) x2 |
| For the kings, queens, pawns, rooks and |
| All of the stories being torn from books |
| Realised from the day that we were born |
| We looked for the vibrating harmony this form had shook |
| For the kings, queens |
| It’s for the kings, rooks |
| It’s for the kings |
| It’s for the kings |
| It’s for the kings, queens, pawns, rooks and |
| All of the knowledge that was torn from books |
