Still Kings |
Long time since red hens, a trail of dead pens |
Release meant rest in peace for some best friends |
Met Mojo and the Duj through T1 |
Laced a track in Queens Modells had begun |
Last day for London my bag was packed |
But I swore, we’ll record many more when I’m back |
Met Mark B droppin' frees at Vadim’s Shack |
For Thing and Kela’s mixtape, had bangers and mash |
And discussed wax we dug for, culture we loved more |
Than life itself, before it became a drug war |
Foundations for my records in '04 |
At the corner formed that Nuffsaid onslaught |
Met Prowla, made a connect |
Backstage at LC’s launch for stage is set |
Staen 1 made the plan be paid respect |
We rep Adelaide to death from a to z |
Menace worked like a madman not takin' a breath |
Tore truth from the books 'til no pages were left |
Let no man kill a legacy remaining a threat |
Chess game, check mate in this playground of death |
We still kings, every piece had to play a role |
Refused to play pawn, we saw the majors fold |
Kids in the street don’t care what your label sold |
They want it real from the heart and displaying soul |
Culture of Kings got album of the week |
We Built This and my track were both four spins deep |
Everyday when it played, I saw my friend Josh weep |
Tears of joy for the boy he’d seen fiend for these beats |
Since second grade Kool Herc, Melle Mel, Busy Bee |
Rock Steady Frees by Rammellzee |
Cold Crush, Bambaataa and the Treacherous Three |
Vaughn Bode, Skeme, See, Frank Frazetta and Lee |
These kings reigned from LA to NYC |
But back home mad pioneers taking the lead |
Hype Magazine readers, RIP chrome pieces |
73A, RCE, TDC Heaters |
AKA Brothers, Rise and Tarkee |
The Almighty Def Wish, Die C and Unique |
Puzle Burners had a kid too impressed to speak |
Voices from the underground when our culture was free |
Many see it now as rotten beef vultures will eat |
And hyenas guard the carcass of an MPC |
If you need good times, I’ve got double of chic |
Need hood rhymes? |
Parkside by Schoolly D |
Respect my history livin' in the here and now |
I pray the youth are gonna take the time to hear me out |
Infinite people out there owed props and clout |
So if I missed you out, next time I’ll give you a shout |
We still kings, every piece had to play a role |
Refused to play pawn, we saw the majors fold |
Kids in the street don’t care what your label sold |
They want it real from the heart and displaying soul |
I know a king without a fam will die a lonely man |
I owe my clan a flamboyant holler wavin' my hands |
Four in a Home, thousand round the globe |
7 warriors in Harlem, DTA, Ayo, Milano |
Wax Po, Mas D on Lennox and Two Fifth |
My home away from home, Buddy, Rheturik and Jig |
BX connects Ready Cee and DJ Mixx |
The Beatnuts, The Dapkings, peace Akir we rebellious |
Big Jeff, DP One, Murs and Seam |
Will tell on the boards recorded verses for Mean |
Strong Hold, Atoms Fam, The Plague and FT |
Z Trip, Marvellous Flowz RIP |
USN, Planetrock, Tomkat, The A Team |
Motion, D&D, Terra Firma, BG |
My Oz Japanese Leo bro Matty Biz |
Quilly, P-Torx and Bhaev what it is |
Cake, Carlisle Clique, Ahska, The Mud Fam |
Without all you kings I was just one man |
In an hourglass clutchin' at the sand |
You expanded my mind and you made me what I am |
Now I do it for the kings |
We still kings, every piece had to play a role |
Refused to play pawn, we saw the majors fold |
Kids in the street don’t care what your label sold |
They want it real from the heart and displaying soul |
