I am a light that came out of the darkness
From sleeping on couches in tiny apartments
I made the best product
I flooded the market
I killed off the ops and I fed on the carcass
(Arghh)
Ya say you gon' do somethin', do it now
You shoot for the stars
They gon' shoot it down
The weight of the hate and the doubt
Laid heavy on my head
So I turned that shit into a crown
Yeah I paid my dues til my tank was on E
And my bank was on freeze
All the snakes and the thieves
Tried to take it from me
They were just jesters and this ain't a joke
Look at the chain and the drip on my coat
My life wavy like I live on a boat
I need a crown and a crib with a moat
Yeah I need my crib to look like a palace
First class in that plane
While I'm sipping champagne out a chalice
I'm riding the wave
They tried to knock me off balance
I told 'em I'm next to the throne and they doubted
Now sorry there's nothing you can do about it
I'm a king
I'm a king
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I'm a king
I'm a king
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I could give a f*ck if you hate or love me
I just need the f*ckin' power and money
You could lose a hand tryna take it from me
Every time you see me you should get on one knee
I got gold on me like I'm royalty
My soldiers round me like I'm royalty
I share all the riches and keys to castle
All I ask from them is loyalty
My queen held me down before I got the crown
Now she sayin' daddy spoil me
And I'm a treat her like she royalty
Yeah
Had to recognize the blessings that he sent through
The passion and potential
I could've been resentful
You don't know what I've been through
Yeah they treat me like a prince
But I started as a peasant
Took every L just to turn them into lessons
Went through hell just party in the heavens
You're first or you're last
Nigga what the f*ck is second
All I know is if you feel it in your chest don't second guess it
No second chance to a bitch who disrespected
Notice I ain't stressin'
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
There's no weapon
That could ever prosper
I've been livin' proper
Eating like mobsta
Pinot and pasta
Now the bank check got the teller all wide-eye'd
And I break necks every time I drive by
Skrtttt
I pull up (I pull up) (I pull up)
In some shit that you only seen in the movies (Ay)
A baddie beside me
Ooh she give me top while I feel on her booty (Ay)
While they talk about it
I do it, I do it
I do it, I do it, I do it (Ay)
When they talk that shit I can't hear 'em
Maybe 'cause that weed is too loud and I'm zooted
I need my crib to look like a palace
First class in that plane
While I'm sipping champagne out a chalice
I'm riding the wave
They tried to knock me off balance
I told 'em I'm next to the throne and they doubted
Now sorry there's nothing you can do about it
I'm a king
I'm a king
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I'm a king
I'm a king
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I could give a f*ck if you hate or love me
I just need the f*ckin' power and money
You could lose a hand tryna take it from me
Every time you see me you should get on one knee
I'm a king
I'm a king
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I'm a king
I'm a king
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
