[00:46.511]A lotta n!ggas sat on the throne, I am the latest

[00:48.993]I am the bravest, go toe to toe with the giants

[00:51.657]I ain't afraid of you n!ggas, I'll end up fading you n!ggas

[00:54.295]'Fore it's all said and done, this n!gga need medicine

[00:56.908]My uzi, it weighed a ton, I need me a better gun

[00:59.677]In fact I just might need two, cause n!ggas say they the one

[01:02.393]And I got something to prove

[01:21.515]Come here baby why you always insecure?

[01:24.571]Hold on tight to a n!gga and be sure

[01:27.654]My inhibition's fighting my intuition

[01:30.057]Premature premonition, showing me the demolition

[01:33.375]Of these phony n!ggas, so ahead of my time

[01:35.830]Even when I rhyme about the future I be reminiscing

[01:38.495]You want the truth well come and listen

[01:40.323]I'm like that time you bagged a dime and checked ya phone and saw it was a number missing

[01:44.111]As fate passes you by, half of you try

[01:46.175]The other half of you fry, too high to actually fly

[01:48.944]One day y'all have to decide, who you gon' be

[01:51.608]A scary n!gga or a n!gga that's gon' rule like me

[01:54.325]Keep it true like me, Cole you might be

[01:57.094]Like the new Ice Cube, meets the new Ice-T

[02:00.150]Meets 2 Live Crew, meets the new Spike Lee

[02:02.762]Meets Bruce like Wayne, meets Bruce like Lee

[02:05.401]Meets '02 Lil Wayne, in a new white tee

[02:08.013]Meets KD, ain't no n!gga that can shoot like me!

[02:10.677]BLAOOOW!

[02:11.148]N!gga why you actin' like a ho?

[02:13.786]Know that I'ma ride for ya, either way it go

[02:16.215]Tell me, girl why you be stressin' me for time?

[02:19.167]When you tell me you love me, can't you see I'm tryna climb?

[02:21.832]Damn my n!gga why you actin' like a b!tch?

[02:24.366]If you scared to take a chance, how the fvck we gon' get rich?

[02:27.135]Come here baby why you always insecure?

[02:30.139]Hold on tight to a n!gga and be sure

[02:32.568](Who's the king?)

[02:33.900]Came from the bottom n!gga, with stains on my shirt

[02:36.591]What you expected from me, I came from the dirt

[02:38.393](Who's the king?)

[02:39.073]Money my motivator, the songs that I sing

[02:41.606]Picture a peasant passin' from pawn to a king

[02:44.480]You tell me ya still love me, if so then let me go

[02:47.066]Will I return or will I burn, never know

[02:50.096]Look in my eyes and see the future

[02:51.873]But don't sugar coat it

[02:53.597]Listen...

[02:55.164]History repeats itself and that's just how it goes

[02:57.698]Same way that these rappers always bite each others flows

[03:00.415]Same thing that my n!gga Elvis did with Rock n Roll

[03:03.184]Justin Timberlake, Eminem and then Macklemore

[03:05.796]While silly n!ggas argue over who gon' snatch the crown

[03:08.565]Look around, my n!gga, white people have snatched the sound

[03:11.386]This year I'll prolly go to the awards dappered down

[03:13.894]Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile

[03:16.637]I'm just playin', but all good jokes contain true sh!t

[03:19.458]Same rope you climb up on, they'll hang you with

[03:22.044]But not Jermaine, my aim too sick

[03:24.212]I bang n!gga, I came to bring the pain my brain too quick

[03:27.608]You see how I maneuver this game, I ain't stupid

[03:30.351]I recognize that life is a dream, and I dream lucid

[03:33.068]And break the chains and change minds

[03:34.687]One verse at a time, and claim 2-6

[03:36.829]And fvck it, if the shoe fits, who's the king?

[03:38.945]We all kings

[03:40.277](We all kings n!gga)

[03:40.878]Kings of ourselves first and foremost

[03:42.811](True)

[03:43.464]While the people debate who's the king of this rap game

[03:46.808]Here comes lil' ol' Jermaine

[03:47.905]With every ounce of strength in his veins

[03:50.256]To snatch the crown from whoever y'all think has it

[03:53.234]But rather than place it on his head as soon as he grabs it

[03:56.264]Poof, boom, paow, it's like magic

[03:59.660]With a flash and a BANG the crown disintegrates

[04:02.142]And falls to the Earth from which it came

[04:04.885]It's done

[04:06.322]Ain't gonna be no more kings

[04:08.437]Be wary of any man that claims

[04:10.266]Because deep down he clings onto the need for power

[04:13.688]The reality, he's a coward

[04:16.091]Ultimately he's scared to die

[04:18.886]And sometimes so am I

[04:21.525]But when I'm in tune with the most high

[04:23.641]I realize, the fear lies in my lack of awareness of the other side

[04:28.291]Today I know that we are the same, are the same, you and I

[04:32.366]Different kind of skin, different set of eyes

[04:35.004]Two different minds, but only one God

[04:37.564](It's only one God n!gga)

[04:39.262]It's for all the kings

[04:41.273]'Cause I know deep down every poet just wanna be loved

[04:45.218]
