[02:27.63]Come here baby
[02:28.19]Why you always insecure?
[02:30.46]Hold on tight to a ni**a and be sure
[02:32.70](Who's the king?)
[02:34.11]Came from the bottom ni**a,
[02:35.37]With stains on my shirt
[02:36.72]What you expected from me,
[02:38.20]I came from the dirt
[02:38.98](Who's the king?)
[02:39.69]Money my motivator,
[02:40.69]The songs that I sing
[02:42.24]Picture a peasant passin'
[02:43.57]From pawn to a king
[02:44.97]You tell me ya still love me,
[02:46.43]If so then let me go
[02:47.63]Will I return or will I burn,
[02:49.58]Never know
[02:50.50]Look in my eyes
[02:51.48]And see the future
[02:52.22]But don't sugar coat it
[02:54.30]Listen
[02:55.21]History repeats itself
[02:56.59]And that's just how it goes
[02:58.28]Same way that these rappers
[02:59.19]Always bite each others flows
[03:00.91]Same thing that my ni**a Elvis
[03:02.21]Did with Rock n Roll
[03:03.64]Justin Timberlake, Eminem,
[03:04.89]And then Macklemore
[03:06.12]While silly niggas argue over
[03:07.46]Who gon' snatch the crown
[03:09.04]Look around, my ni**a,
[03:10.02]White people have snatched the sound
[03:11.81]This year I'll prolly go
[03:12.78]To the awards dappered down
[03:14.36]Watch Iggy win a Grammy
[03:15.53]As I try to crack a smile
[03:16.96]I'm just playin',
[03:17.77]But all good jokes contain true sh*t
[03:19.76]Same rope you climb up on,
[03:21.32]They'll hang you with
[03:22.41]But not Jermaine, my aim too sick
[03:24.56]I bang ni**a, I came to bring
[03:26.48]The pain my brain too quick
[03:28.04]You see
[03:28.48]How I maneuver this game,
[03:29.82]I ain't stupid
[03:30.60]I recognize that life is a dream,
[03:32.32]And I dream lucid
[03:33.42]And break the chains and change minds,
[03:35.15]One verse at a time
[03:36.24]And claim 2-6,
[03:37.14]And f**k it, if the shoe fits
[03:38.46]Who's the king?
[03:39.44]We all kings
[03:40.39](We all kings ni**a)
[03:41.50]Kings of ourselves first and foremost
[03:42.88](True)
[03:43.76]While the people debate
[03:44.82]Who's the king of this rap game
[03:47.14]Here comes lil' ol' Jermaine
[03:48.29]With every ounce of strength in his veins
[03:50.79]To snatch the crown
[03:51.80]From whoever y'all think has it
[03:53.86]But rather than place it
[03:54.77]On his head as soon as he grabs it
[03:56.60]Poof, boom, paow,
[03:58.24]It's like magic
[04:00.01]With a flash and a BANG
[04:01.29]The crown disintegrates
[04:02.51]And falls to the Earth
[04:03.79]From which it came
[04:05.47]It's done
[04:06.67]Ain't gonna be no more kings
[04:08.69]Be wary of any man that claims
[04:10.53]Because deep down he clings
[04:11.65]Onto the need for power
[04:13.96]But in reality he's a coward
[04:16.77]Ultimately he's scared to die
[04:19.46]And sometimes so am I
[04:21.93]But when I'm in tune with the most high
[04:24.05]I realize
[04:25.04]The fear lies in my lack of awareness
[04:27.15]Of the other side
[04:28.93]Today I know that we are the same
[04:30.56]Are the same, you and I
[04:32.65]Different kind of skin,
[04:33.90]Different set of eyes
[04:35.18]Two different minds,
[04:36.27]But only one God
[04:37.44](It's only one God ni**a)
[04:39.28]It's for all the kings
[04:41.54]Cause I know deep down every poet
[04:43.14]Just wanna be loved
