Return of Simba

One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise upon you as the new king

And this will all be mine?

EVERYTHING

Everything the light touches

In my freshest J's, I ain’t slept in days

Girl, you gonna make me late undressing me

Know you ain’t seen me since yesterday

But, see, I got a date with destiny

Cause this the summer that our life change

Hov asked me, “Is you ready for it?”

I looked around at all his nice things

Told him, “*****, you already know it”

*****, I’m the man of the year

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Straight through this *****

*****, I’m the man of the year

What you ‘sposed to do when the OG ****** don’t get it?

Lost what was once theirs but they won’t quit it

Homie, it’s a new era, middle finger to the suit-wearers

Lemme show you how to move in a room

Full of dudes that don’t got a ******’ clue how to do this

Prolly worked with Cube, so to them, this a Rubik

My President is black, but my jeweler’s still Jewish

So you know it cost, he makin’ a killing off me

Red diamonds he designing got me shining

Spotlight cover my body, my chain blinding

A cop light runner, they wanna but can’t find him

Me and Hovi Hov, out on the same island

Took the whip to the other side of Jamaica

Seen how he was living, said “I gotta get my weight up”

Formulated my plan, motivated by dreams

Parlayed with my mans, motivated my team

Ced said, “Look, my ******, we got a foot in”

Being good is good, that’ll get you Drew Gooden

But me, I want Jordan numbers, LeBron footin’

Can’t guard me, Vince Lombardi, John Wooden

Garbage? Hardly, you ****** silly like Chris Farley

So like him, you’ll be gone too early

Mama hands together like 6:30

And Cole keep a thick ***** I like to call Big Shirley

All my ’90s ****** is gon’ get it

18 and under, that’s prolly gonna take a minute

I’mma be here for a while, none of these clowns can hurt me

I’mma be here for a while, none of these clowns can hurt me

At the time of this rhyme, 5 years ’til I know 30

Cole World in the summer brings snow flurries

This next **** is in no way to boast

But my city love breakfast, ’cause ****** had toast early

Coach had us doin’ jumpin’ jacks

Then sent us to the water fountain after runnin’ laps

My ***** went and grabbed his bookbag, threw it on his back

And brought it to me just to show me he was ******’ strapped

We was twelve years old, how was we to know better?

I analyzed his life and see that he was so set up

Live by the trigger, ’cause no father figure

Means you don’t got a ***** comin’ ’round to guide a *****

All you got is mama bringin’ home these rotten ******

Blowin’ reefers, all the teachers do is ride a *****

So this is who I speak fo’

To give the young ****** somethin’ they could reach fo’

You better dream, boy

Yeah, I stunt, but I’m a li’l more realer

When it come from the heart, don’t it feel mo’ iller?

Watch my flow go bananas, I’m a li’l gorilla

So pardon me, man, y’all gon’ have to pardon me

They say I rep that ‘Ville too much, but that **** just a part of me

It’s flowin’ out through my arteries, who hard as me? You JV, I’m varsity

No field trip, ain’t hard to see, this real ****, you R&B

Seen a movie wit’ yo’ ***** in it, and listen it, was starin’ me

(Woo!) That boy Simba crazy

Hotter than Ike Turner temper, you December, maybe

And though you wish me well, I know deep down you wish I’d fail

It’s Judgment Day, I’m here to give you ***** ****** hell

And some food for thought, I can serve a plate

With dessert to take, with dessert to take

Yeah, I heard the hate, but the wait is ******’ over

It’s like I’m ******’ Oprah, well worth the wait

Maybe over your head, I’m ahead of my time

****** scared of my future, I know they dreadin’ my prime

Cause I only made classics, now what that take? Timing

Cole under pressure, what that make? Diamonds
