BlaoowNigga why you actin' like a ho?Know that I'ma ride for ya, either way it goTell me girl why you be stressin me for timeWhen you tell me you love me, can't you see im tryna climbDamn my nigga why you actin' like a bitchIf you scared to take a chance, how the fuck we gon' get rich?Come here baby why you always insecure?Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure(Who's the king?)Came from the bottom nigga, with stains on my shirtWhat you expected from me, I came from the dirt(Who's the king?)Money my motivator, the songs that I singPicture a peasant passin' from pawn to a KingYou tell me ya still love me, if so then let me goWill I return or will I burn, never knowLook in my eyes and see the futureBut dont sugar coat itHistory repeats itself and thats just how it goesSame way that these rappers always bite each others flowsSame thing that my nigga Elvis did with Rock n RollJustin Timberlake, Eminem, and then MacklemoreWhile silly niggas argue over who gone snatch the crownLook around my nigga white people have snatched the soundThis year I? ll prolly go to the awards dappered downWatch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smileI'm just playin', but all good jokes contain true shitSame rope you climb up on, they'll hang you withBut not Jermaine, my aim too sickI bang nigga, I came to bring the pain my brain too quickYou see how I maneuver this game, I ain't stupidI recognize that life is a dream, and I dream lucidAnd break the chains and change minds, one verse at a timeAnd claim that you sick, and fuck it if the truth isWho's the king?We all kingsKings of ourselves first and foremostWhile the people debate who's the king of this rap gameHere comes lil' ol' JermaineWith every ounce of strength in his veinsTo snatch the crown from whoever y'all think has itBut rather than place it on his head as soon as he grabs itPoof, boom, paow, it's like magicWith a flash and a Bang the crown disintegratesAnd falls from the Earth from which it cameIt's doneAin't gonna be no more kingsBe wary of any man that claimsBecause deep down he claims onto the need for powerBut reality he's a cowardUltimately he's scared to dieAnd sometimes so am IBut when I'm in tune with the most highI realiseThe fear lies in my lack of awareness of the other sideToday I know that we are the sameAre the same, you and IDifferent kind of skin, different set of eyesTwo different minds, but only one GodIt's for all the kingsCause deep down I know every pore just wanna be loved
