Lyrics The Fallen King - K Rino

The Fallen King

Just when K had paved the way to say that I made it
All the paper that I made, I wasn’t able to save it
Maybe cause when I was paid I never gave him the praises
It’s outrageous tryna reach higher material stages
Try’na view life through my own eyes, the pair I was blessed with
Cause once you touch a lot of cash your character’s tested
Some wreak of a degenerate of arrogant essences
Until he’s humble brought down and his talent’s arrested
Knew that once I hit my peak I be a permanent fixture
The lofty height I reach was nothing like I had pictured
I was paranoid and lonely and my heart was in darkness
Standing on and looking down just made me wanna jump off it
With no sound foundation to base my investment
The power made me crazy and evasion to question
Knew deep down from the start the future greatness was destined
But the quest to chase possession is like chasing depression
You see I dwelled in the palace, bathe in the cash
I stood on the mountain top, I drank from the glass
Thought that I could rule the world, but couldn’t handle the throne
In the end, The Fallen King was left standing alone
You see I dwelled in the palace, bathe in the cash
I stood on the mountain top, I drank from the glass
Thought that I could rule the world, but couldn’t handle the throne
In the end, The Fallen King was left standing alone
It took a small amount of time for my greedy mind to ground me
The wealth destroyed myself and the people around me
And anything of good that men would happen to mention
Saw the people I stepped on during my rapid decision
As I fell from grace.
I witness the faces above
I never once wanted the cash to take the place of the love
But it did, until my heart developed strong resistance
And the lustful things I live for were no longer sufficient
I would bask in the bank accounts of massive amounts
But there’s only so much property and cash you can count
Achieving success, birds of prey bleeding my nest
All the users and the parasites that leech on your flesh
Drop my soul in every low-end, to sober these cold winds
And cover the loneliness with female over indulgence
Had it all and still had nothing, worship the wealth
The misguided king who possessed everything but himself
High on arrogance, drunk on pride
Fueled by greed, failed when I was tried
High on arrogance, drunk on pride
Fueled by greed, failed when I was tried
You see I dwelled in the palace, bathe in the cash
I stood on the mountain top, I drank from the glass
Thought that I could rule the world, but couldn’t handle the throne
In the end, The Fallen King was left standing alone
You see I dwelled in the palace, bathe in the cash
I stood on the mountain top, I drank from the glass
Thought that I could rule the world, but couldn’t handle the throne
In the end, The Fallen King was left standing alone
Mind state worsening, what is this I’m worshipping?
Who would be that person that could bring me down to earth again?
Humility burgeoning, ego short circuiting
Searching for a new chance on a turf like it was 1st & 10
I had a few people who try to make me reapply
And I underappreciated them, no need for me to lie
The King was a conceited guy
Who found out why it’s harder for a rich man to reach heaven then a camel to
pass through a needle’s eye
Tears under every smile, no situation
Meant nothing unless it gave me instant gratification
They say money’s not everything, and that right, it’s really not
But those words are usually said by those who have none or a lot
The dynamics of our lives are greatly diversified
Happy poor folks and rich men who commit suicide
Had to lose it all just to accomplish the real prize
The King who had the fall in order to rise
