Keenan Layne - Life of a King (Feat. Seth Bowman) Lyrics

Hottest price round this side of town
How the f*ck we put it down y'all
Yeah yeah

Wine stains my teeth
Blood stains my clothes
And these hoes in a race for the throne
Step back if you wanna keep your dome
You know I'm on my when in Rome shit
Homicide cases connecting names to faces
When I was hooked on Faces and Homicide no cases
Livin the life in Vegas no evidence or traces
Of how death seems to surround me
All the fake ass bitches down me
Rap ain't the same without a dose a fame
Nothings left but the Novocain stimulating my brain
When I'm in pain sweat gleams on the chain
Bet they won't forget the name cause things ain't the same
Without a doubt, keep my dick in your mouth
Now quit using my name for clout
You'd better turn things around fore they go south
Watch me grow as a person as I spread my roots and sprout
With no doubt creep up and take you cousin out
Cause you know we're livin' the

Life of a king
So easy and pristine for a motherf*cker like me
Life of a king
They'll always wanna be me and never step up to beat me
Life of a king
Come into the ring if you think you'll earn the damned thing
Life of a king
Yeah I'm over here living like a f*cking king

I whip in my Chevy Malibu Classi like a Porsche
Who coulda ever thought I would end up on the porch
Of this rap game bitch I shoulda been tamed
I should of had a bullet shot into my head until the blood stained
But I had too much to gain
So I obtained many injuries along the way
And just as soon as I thought
That I would never see the light of day
I talked myself into it now I'm on the way
And I know that some people will never understand my ways
If you said it in my words you'd have to call it paraphrased
I have nothing on my mind when I roll it and blaze
Every day my head is always surrounded by a haze
Grind it up break it down pack a bowl pass around
Mind the cup on the ground light it up blaze a pound
If you come around prepare to go round for round
I'll beat you to the ground drown you then snatch your crown

Life of a king
So easy and pristine for a motherf*cker like me
Life of a king
They'll always wanna be me and never step up to beat me
Life of a king
Come into the ring if you think you'll earn the damned thing
Life of a king
Yeah I'm over here living like a f*cking king

Turning projects into prospects
I project my thoughts into fat profits
Sonnets written about how to finesse impress and inform the press
Yet I express distress when so close to success
I may collapse in on myself like a dying star
But just know I'll go gold by tomorrow
My heart so very hollow
Plagued upon by my bitter family
Thankfully I got a good chick who always holds me down
But sometimes I gotta take a ride through the town
Just to clear my mind while I'm playing music very loud
And I know it's not a stage but I swear I see a crowd
Or maybe it's a cloud in the sky raining down
Snap back to reality and look around you
Take in every sight you see everything in your view
Then take a deep breath and exhale it like phew
This is your time to shine don't let it fall through

Life of a king
So easy and pristine for a motherf*cker like me
Life of a king
They'll always wanna be me and never step up to beat me
Life of a king
Come into the ring if you think you'll earn the damned thing
Life of a king
Yeah I'm over here living like a f*cking king

My goddamn
