| [01:24.940] | Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure |
| [01:26.710][Verse 2] | |
| [01:27.320] | My inhibitions, fighting my intuition |
| [01:30.320] | Premature premonition |
| [01:31.850] | Showin me the demoliton of these phony niggas |
| [01:34.640] | So ahead of my time |
| [01:36.160] | Even when I rhyme about the future I be reminiscing |
| [01:38.960] | You want the truth well come and listen |
| [01:40.630] | I'm like that time you bagged a dime |
| [01:42.250] | And checked ya phone and saw it was a number missing |
| [01:44.390] | As fate passes you by, half of you try |
| [01:46.630] | The other half of you fry, too high to actually fly |
| [01:49.380] | One day y'all have to decide, who you gon' be |
| [01:52.120] | A scary nigga or a nigga that's gon' rule like me |
| [01:54.810] | Keep it true like me, Cole you might be |
| [01:57.290] | Like the new Ice Cube, meets the new Ice-T |
| [02:00.190] | Meets 2 Live Crew, meets the new Spike Lee |
| [02:03.140] | Meets Bruce like Wayne, meets Bruce like Lee |
| [02:05.670] | Meets '02 Lil Wayne, in a new white tee |
| [02:08.420] | Meets KD, ain't no nigga that can shoot like me! BLAOOOW |
| [02:11.750] | Nigga why you actin' like a ho? |
| [02:14.090] | Know that I'ma ride for ya, either way it go |
| [02:16.590] | Tell me girl why you be stressin me for time |
| [02:19.530] | When you tell me you love me, can't you see im tryna climb |
| [02:22.070] | Damn my nigga why you actin' like a bitch |
| [02:25.020] | If you scared to take a chance, how the fuck we gon' get rich? |
| [02:27.620] | Come here baby why you always insecure? |
| [02:30.370] | Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure |
| [02:32.600][Bridge] | |
| [02:33.160] | (Who's the king?) |
| [02:34.280] | Came from the bottom nigga, with stains on my shirt |
| [02:36.610] | What you expected from me, I came from the dirt |
| [02:38.640] | (Who's the king?) |
| [02:38.840] | Money my motivator, the songs that I sing |
| [02:42.100] | Picture a peasant passin' from pawn to a King |
| [02:44.330] | You tell me ya still love me, if so then let me go |
| [02:47.580] | Will I return or will I burn, never know |
| [02:49.810] | Look in my eyes and see the future |
| [02:52.410] | But don't sugar coat it |
| [02:53.830][Verse 3] | |
| [02:54.540] | Listen |
| [02:55.200] | History repeats itself and that's just how it goes |
| [02:57.940] | Same way that these rappers always bite each others flows |
| [03:01.040] | Same thing that my nigga Elvis did with Rock n Roll |
| [03:03.430] | Justin Timberlake, Eminem, and then Macklemore |
| [03:06.120] | While silly niggas argue over who gone snatch the crown |
| [03:08.960] | Look around my nigga white people have snatched the sound |
| [03:11.770] | This year I＊ll prolly go to the awards dappered down |
| [03:14.300] | Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile |
| [03:17.090] | I'm just playin', but all good jokes contain true shit |
| [03:19.850] | Same rope you climb up on, they'll hang you with |
| [03:22.430] | But not Jermaine, my aim too sick |
| [03:25.120] | I bang nigga, I came to bring the pain my brain too quick |
| [03:27.970] | You see how I maneuver this game, I ain't stupid |
| [03:30.660] | I recognize that life is a dream, and I dream lucid |
| [03:33.350] | And break the chains and change minds, one verse at a time |
| [03:36.190] | And claim too sick. And fuck it, if the shoe fits |
| [03:38.780] | Who's the king? |
| [03:39.850][Outro] | |
| [03:40.210] | We all kings |
| [03:41.530] | (We all kings nigga) |
| [03:42.800] | Kings of ourselves first and foremost |
| [03:44.070] | (True) |
| [03:44.270] | While the people debate who's the king of this rap game |
| [03:46.970] | Here comes lil' ol' Jermaine |
| [03:49.200] | With every ounce of strength in his veins |
| [03:50.830] | To snatch the crown from whoever y'all think has it |
| [03:54.080] | But rather than place it on his head as soon as he grabs it |
| [03:56.570] | Poof, boom, paow, it's like magic |
| [03:59.370] | With a flash and a BANG the crown disintegrates |
| [04:02.820] | And falls to the Earth from which it came |
| [04:05.210] | It's done |
| [04:06.270] | Ain't gonna be no more kings |
| [04:08.760] | Be wary of any man that claims |
| [04:10.590] | Because deep down he clings onto the need for power |
| [04:13.590] | But in reality he's a coward |
| [04:16.330] | Ultimately he's scared to die |
| [04:19.430] | And sometimes so am I |
| [04:21.410] | But when I'm in tune with the most high |
| [04:24.050] | I realize |
| [04:25.110] | The fear lies in my lack of awareness of the other side |
| [04:29.020] | Today I know that we are the same |
| [04:30.750] | Are the same, you and I |
| [04:32.780] | Different kind of skin, different set of eyes |
| [04:35.320] | Two different minds, but only one God |
| [04:37.810] | (It's only one God nigga) |
| [04:39.990] | It's for all the kings |
| [04:41.670] | Cause deep down I know every poet just wanna be loved |
