The Life of Kings |
Back with that new new to tell you where I come from |
Sing a song so I could never be unsung |
They think I’m on some, being fair weather |
Its just my ensemble don’t care whether |
You shake your tail feathers, or your pom poms |
Razor sharp nigga bong bong |
Its a bad time to be a mc if you ain’t rhyming right |
I spit that China white nigga call it Hong Kong |
Hit the city to see one of my school mates |
Making six figures but she still got a roommate |
Just to have a downtown apartment and some outfits |
And you asking why I never leave the south, shit… |
Take some time to dream |
Peace of mind is a delightful thing |
This is the life of kings |
And we got it (Yessir) |
I’m the King! |
People be confused how I move with the utmost |
Respect and yet I get my due |
And true, I got nothing to prove |
Could be my new objective but let’s not object to truth |
(cough cough) on days like these |
I count my blessings and say my dreams |
Out loud when I wake up |
The voice up inside of my head |
Telling EV lets get on the day and out of this bed |
Kiss my mother gave my daughter a pound |
Then she hugged me (what) then she turned around |
In my time the life of a king is undefinable |
The closest we might get is pressed up to the vinyl though |
Shit… |
(Yea) |
Tigallo, (Big K.R.I.T), E V |
I’m the King! |
Now some consider me a tyrant |
Cause I would rather push chariots, dodging them sirens |
Trunk beating like violence, searching for me a vibrant thing |
More concerned with what books I read than what side I claim |
Got a vision to be veteran |
With a future brighter than a writer deciphering light by Thomas Edison |
Cause you remind me of a derelict relishing on relishments |
Too busy throwing rocks at my throne to find a chair to sit |
I’m the type of king you’ll probably see Coretta with |
Country bred, country raised, and intelligent |
Rosebud lifestyle and yours is petal-less |
The hand of God and mine you shouldn’t meddle with |
My reign is benevolent |
Ever since I fell out the womb I was destined to conquer melodies |
