Cates - Queens and Kings (feat. Oze) Lyrics

Queens and Kings that fought and died
So I can live free
I was born into royalty
I was born into royalty
Oh queens and kings that fought and died
So I can live free
I was born into royalty
I was born into royalty
313 I rep my city all damn day
Dinner plate was 12 so still got 248
I come from real good food and views
Of the bigger picture
I remember rappin all the psalms and all the scriptures
Jelly bean or jolly green she call me
It goes unsaid but favorite is how she saw me
I'll forever be ya gas station first baby
Asking top 3 while every family member know you crazy
Take a lil time nah
All eyes on me now
I came up knowing who I am an look at me now
O wow
O wow
Hey now
Parents were the model
Raised me right meanwhile you drinkin kool aid from the bottle
That's not yo fault but who got for teeth
Malcolm Martin Ida B Wells
Yahweh bless you rest and be well
Marcus Marley Maya Tavel
Names of greatness from honor we hail
We need to admit that we fallen from grace
That red black and green be the paint on my face
This war that we fighting done picked up the pace
I loaded my rifle and fell in my place
I am up
I'm wide awake
Cold water all over my face
This shits a façade dawg
Aint none of it real they pull that wool over your face
I come from a dying city
My parents work hard I ain't miss no food on my plate
Don't f*ck with no Jakes man
Get pulled over speeding and might just get shot in my face but
Queens and Kings that fought and died
So I can live free
I was born into royalty
I was born into royalty
My city's hustle don't quit
While Dan Gilbert gettin rich
Up off our backs and then they split
Kick us out and raise the rent
See y'all jus think I'm gon forget
All the cotton granny picked
The school she couldn't finish
Generational damage
I think my goddad voted trump
How I'm sposed to feel about that shit
Whiteness make me wanna get a gun
Let em get a little glimpse of murder mitt-ten
Ten damn days and all I gotta show
Is a little bit more for ya
I learn then teach
So don't be surprised if you hear me preach
I'm called so be real careful what you say before I ball
I know pride go first then we see the fall
I can tell who's really here before it all
Imma tell you check the writings on the wall nigga
Royalty Royalty Royal Royal Royalty
Royalty
Royalty Royalty
Royalty
Royalty
Royalty
