The Life of Kings

{I'M THE KIIIIIIIING~!" <- D.M.C.}

[Phonte]

Yo, back with that new-new to tell you where I come from

Sing a song so I could never be unsung

They think I'm on some, bein fair weather

It's just my ensem-ble, don't care whether

You shake your tail feathers, or your pom-poms

Razor sharp nigga, bong bong (HO!)

It's a bad time to be a emcee if you ain't rhymin right

I spit that China white, nigga call it Hong Kong

Hit the city to see one of my school mates

Makin six figures but she still got a roommate

Just to have a downtown apartment and some outfits

and you askin why I never leave the South, sheeeit

Eh, take some time to dream

Piece of mind's a delightful thing, this is the life of kings...

Yessir

[Evidence]

And we got it, uh..

{"I'M THE KIIIIIIIING~!" <- D.M.C.}

Yo, people be confused how I move

with the utmost, respect and yet I get my due

And true, I got nothing to prove

Could be my new objective, but let's not object the truth

{*cough cough*} ...on days like these

I count my blessings and say my dreams

out loud when I wake up, the voice up inside of my head

Tellin Ev', "Let's get on the day and out of this bed"

Kiss my mother, gave my daughter a pound

Then she hugged me ("what?"), then she turned around

In my time the life of a king is undefinable

The closest we might get is pressed up to the vinyl though

Shit, take some time to dream

Piece of mind's a delightful thing, this is the life of kings...

Tigallo, E-V

[Big K.R.I.T]

Chea, yeah..

Big K.R.I.T. shawty, ah-hah

{"I'M THE KIIIIIIIING~!" <- D.M.C.}

Now some consider me a tyrant, 'cause I'd rather push chariots

Dodgin them sirens, trunk, beatin like violins

Searchin for me a vibrant thang, more concerned

with what books I read than what side I claim

Got a vision to be veteran

with a future brighter than a writer decifering light, by Thomas Edison

Plus you remind me of a derelict, relishin on relishments

Too busy throwin rocks at my thrown to find a chair to sit

I'm the type of +King+ you'll probably see Coretta with

Country-bred, country-raised, and intelligent

Rose bud lifestyle and yours is petalless

The hand of God and mine you shouldn't mettle with

My reign's benevolent

Ever since I fell out the womb I was destined to conquer melodies

So take some time to dream

Piece of mind's a delightful thing, this is the life of kings...

[Outro: Phonte]

Big K.R.I.T.

E-V (This is the life of kings...)

And New Tigallo New Tigallo New Tigallo New Tigallo New Tigallo

{"I'M THE KIIIIIIIING~!" <- D.M.C.}

This is the life of kings, feel good

Good like oxtails from&nbsp;?Eve's? Kitchen, nigga

Yeah! Haha
