Kings Never Die |
Here to stay |
Even when I’m gone |
When I close my eyes |
Through the passage of time |
Kings never die |
I can hear the drummer drummin' |
And the trumpets, someone’s tryna summon someone |
I know something’s comin' |
But I’m runnin' from it, to be standing at the summit |
And plummet, how come it wasn’t what I thought it was? |
Was it too good to be true? |
Have nothin', get it all but too much of it |
Then lose it again, did I swallow hallucinogens? |
‘Cause if not, where the hell did it go? |
‘Cause here I sit in Lucifer’s den by the dutch oven |
Just choosing to sin, even if it means I’m sellin' my soul |
Just to be the undisputed again |
Do whatever I gotta do just to win |
‘Cause I got this motherfuckin' cloud over my head |
Crown around it, thorns on it |
Cracks in it, bet you morons didn’t think I’d be back, did ya? |
How 'bout that? |
I’m somehow now back to the underdog |
But no matter how loud that I bark |
This sport is somethin' I never bow-out at |
I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it’s a love-hate |
But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt |
Even when you bitches are countin' me out |
And I appear to be down for the count |
Only time I ever been out and about |
Is drivin' around town with my fuckin' whereabouts in a doubt |
‘Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here |
But I’m not a quitter; |
gotta get up, give it all I got or give up |
Spit on, shit on, stepped on, but kept goin' |
I’m tryna be headstrong |
But it feels like I slept on my neck wrong |
‘Cause you’re moving onto the next, but is your respect gone? |
‘Cause someone told me that… |
Kings never die |
Don’t give me that sob story, liar, don’t preach to the choir |
You ain’t never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep |
Nobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer |
Wouldn’t even take shit into consideration |
Obliterate anyone in the way |
I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features |
And try to show out on a track with me |
But it’d actually have to be |
A fuckin' blow-out to get me to retire |
Tell these new artists that kings never die |
I know shit has changed in this age, fuck a Twitter page |
Did it just say I’ve been upstaged? |
Why am I online? |
It’s driving me crazy |
I’m ridin' shotgun tryna get a gauge |
On what’s hot, but I’m not one to conform |
But as days pass in this shit |
And opinions sway, I can hear 'em say |
If I stay passionate maybe I can stage a miraculous |
Comeback, as if I went away |
But detractors just say so much for the renegade |
Someone’s gonna make me blow my composure |
Here I go again, center stage, and I feel like I’m in a cage |
They so want a champion to fall |
It’s no wonder why I laugh at 'em |
‘Cause why can’t we win 'em all? |
So fuck what these cynics say! |
It just goes to show that when my back’s against the wall |
And I’m under attack again, that I’ll act as if I’m 'posed ta |
With this pent-up rage, ‘cause all these plaques in my office |
On the floor stacked against the door |
Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin' back again? |
‘Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards |
And trophies just don’t mean jack anymore |
If I’m here today and gone tomorrow, and I’m not gonna be… |
Here to stay |
Even when I’m gone |
When I close my eyes |
Through the passage of time |
Kings never die |
I want it, I’m comin' to get it |
So you son of a bitches don’t duck |
You’re gonna get Riddick Bowe’d |
Critics’ll end up in critical |
Think your shit is dope, all you’re gonna get is smoked |
And I ain’t stopping 'til I’m on top again |
All alone and on a throne, like a token of respect |
Or a homage poem, or an ode I’ve been owed |
Tossed in the air by my own arm |
And launched so hard it broke my collarbone |
And when it’s my time to go |
I’m still not leaving, stop for no one, I don’t know |
But I’ve been told, an obstacle that blocks your road, ya |
Knock it over, time to go for the pot of gold, ‘cause… |
They say kings never die |
Just ask Jam Master Jay |
They just grow wings and they fly |
So, hands up, reach for the sky! |
Try to hold on and prolong these moments |
‘Cause in a blink of an eye |
They’ll be over |
So you’re tryna secure your legacy like Shakur |
And ensure nobody’s ever gonna be what you were |
So before you’re leavin' this Earth |
You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral, berserk |
Deacon of words, syllable genius at work |
Plus, I’m thinkin' that they’re mistakin' my kindness for weakness; |
kill 'em with meanness |
I went from powdered milk and Farina |
To flippin' burgers on the grill for some peanuts |
At Gilbert’s to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas |
Still appeal to the dreamers |
I made it to the silverscreen |
But Rocky’s still what the theme is |
Khalil on the beat, ‘cause makin' the beat |
Ain’t the same feelin' to me as killin' the beat is |
Or fulfillin' to me is what fillin' a seat is |
It’s that sound-bombing, Thirstin Howl |
Common, underground, Diamond D, Outsidaz |
Stomach growl, throbbin' hunger, out-rhymin' everyone |
God, just give me one shot, I swear that I won’t let you down |
I’ma be around forever-and-a-day, even in the ground |
You ain’t never ever gonna hear 'em say I ain’t… |
Here to stay |
Even when I’m gone |
When I close my eyes |
Through the passage of time |
Kings never die |
Kings never die |
