Kings Video (MV)

Been a good kid but it's only relative
Ahead of the others I hold my truth
And it's self evident
That everything just ain't equal
Feeling pressed like a shirt that's wrinkled
Check the lingo
Noventa cinco I was swimming
Parents said they was done having children
But you know my pops a G
Plus that Marvin Gaye
By noventa seis I was living
In a city adjacent to a couple of places
Leave you black and blue if you be wearing red
Have you spilling red if you be wearing blue
And all the above if you black and you encounter police
It's one of those things you learn on the screen
Niggas think they the don, the king
Until they end up getting Rodney'd, Martin'd
Immunity, impunity, paid vacations, extended leave
Extend the olive branch
Mothaf*cka Ima need the tree
From the powers that be
Cowards that sleep
Peacefull lke this shit's a normal thing

And for that reason there can be no kings

I was like 11, Breezy put hands on Rihanna
At the age of 7, tried to put Mike in the slammer
It was chilling, we were just children chilling with lil Bill
Now that nigga stanky like the kitchen after momma made chitlens
The quaalude masseuse, it's a different world
Used to believe I could fly until he pissed on a girl
Guess Ima caged bird
Icarus in the river styx
The sun is undefeated so we put Him on crucifix
Go head, belittle my nature
The worst part about a halo is you can't see it
Affected the way that I'd be treated since a fetus
This is the treatise & latrine so obscene
The only highest up witness the scene
Trickle down economics
If you shooting a star you make profit
The media shower ain't stoppin
Got the horoscopes, the horror show
The more you know, the worse it gets
The message is subminial
The condor flying so high, it's pigeon holed
If you wondering why, it's simple hoe
Become to affluential they gon get you
We see what they do with our black symbols

And for that reason, there can be no kings
I feel ashamed that I played their game

Tell every f*cking body when I walk up in the building
They can suck my dick
Richard the third, he probably stole my stick
Shake the spear, vapor clear, that's vicks
Maybe Michael, check the title, nigga I'm not your rival
Not your equal, put me on a track tha's lethal
Let my kind ways decieve you
Cause when we in the booth, my intention's to kill niggas
Friend or Foe, pick em off, eenie meenie minee moee
Catch a nigga lacking on his flow then its time to go
Steel sharpens steel so my nigga you already know
I'm on it like an Onyx on an awning
In a metropolitan area on the barrier of falling
In my genetics is ever-phonetic
Effortless, don't you forget it
I've been grinding so hard I can't sleep sleep
While they copying tunes, I act me
Like beep beep, morse corde, you'll never figure it out
A gay crip that's a bear in a big blue house
The same goes for a sigma
If you don't like my bars you can ligma
Nigga I can fight the gods with no regard of all the odds
Gimme everything you own like a bank withdrawl
With masks on, they masquerade with fake facades
I take my aim and break em off
Your king is gone

If I die would my verses fade away
If I'm alive would they ever say I'm great
Accolades & all the praise I want it
Happiness & brighter days, I wonder
They say the crown corrupts absolute
But I'd rather it be me and not you cause it's true
That niggas get clipped catching fades my nigga
My momma killed her dreams cause she hit a glass ceiling
She got another job out of sorrow with the small hope
Of preserving the dream I was pursuing
So really I gotta do it
F*ck what you think it's really deeper than music
I carry more than just lbs, this LPs like an elephant sent directly from Vishnu
That mean I open chakras whenever my wrist move
And only Jesus Christ can determine how 12 move
Cause they OD
Half past 12 had 12 rolling 60 deep
Tryna keep the EUG look like LBC
And I ain't talking bout dice
Momma said I'm gonna kill myself by the way that I drive
So until my doors like the 15 me
Ima whip it until I can't use my legs
Mothaf*cka I'm nice
Been treat the game like an encore
I came, I saw, I conquered
And right there was a double entendre
For the mundanes while I eat my lasagna
I hate y'all
Yes indeed
You mothafukas wouldn't last in Thebes
Lacerate the lamb of Nazareth
And bring him back like Lazarus
Use his blood to wash a glock
To kill a planter off just to make a masterpiece
Kick an orange, Donald T
Just for the tangent, tangent, tangerine property
Yeah Nagato
I've been drowning in pain since like 9 years old
But I kept all that shit inside an envelope
Just like report cards when you didn't make honor roll
Gold plated, big checks gon spend it on your habits
All press is good press except when you depressed
Indulging all your habits to de-stress
This is the life of a king
Not what it seems but it's ripe on the screen
Everbody gunning for the head spot
If you make it to the top
Watch out for the head shot

If I die would my verses fade away
If I'm alive would they ever say I'm great
Accolades & all the praise I want it
Happiness & brighter days, I wonder
Crown corrupts absolute
But I'd rather it be me and not you
