[00:11.05] Yah, Yah, Yah, Yeah (Yah, Yah, Yah, Yah)
[00:13.94] Yah, Yah, Yah, Yeah (Yah, Yah, Yah, Yah)
[00:16.69] Yah, Yah, Yeah, Yah, Yah (Yah, Yah, Yah, Yah)
[00:19.04] Yah, Yah, Yah, Yah (Yah, Yah, Yah, Yah)
[00:21.72] Nigga, why you actin' like a ho?
[00:24.09] Know that I'ma ride for you, either way it go
[00:26.75] Tell me, girl, why you be stressin' me for time?
[00:29.03] (Time, time, time, time, time, time)
[00:29.82] When you tell me you love me
[00:31.04] Can't you see I'm tryna climb?
[00:32.39] Damn, my nigga, why you actin' like a bitch?
[00:34.55] (Bitch, bitch, bitch)
[00:35.39] If you scared to take a chance
[00:36.34] How the fuck we gon' get rich?
[00:37.84] Come here, baby, why you always insecure?
[00:39.50] ('Cure, cure, cure, cure, cure, cure)
[00:40.79] Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure
[00:43.15] Yeah, ain't a way around it no more, I am the greatest
[00:46.05] A lot of niggas sat on the throne, I am the latest
[00:48.72] I am the bravest, go toe to toe with the giants
[00:51.44] I ain't afraid of you niggas, I'll end up fadin' you niggas
[00:54.16] 'Fore it's all said and done, this nigga need medicine
[00:56.96] My Uzi, it weighed a ton, I need me a better gun
[00:59.65] In fact I just might need two, 'cause niggas say they're the one
[01:02.30] And I got somethin' to prove
[01:03.86] Forgive me, Lord, here they come, blow
[01:05.61] Nigga, why you actin' like a ho?
[01:08.29] Know that I'ma ride for you, either way it go
[01:10.46] Tell me, girl, why you be stressin' me for time?
[01:12.49] (Time, time, time, time, time, time)
[01:13.68] When you tell me you love me
[01:14.73] Can't you see I'm tryna climb?
[01:15.92] Damn, my nigga, why you actin' like a bitch?
[01:18.07] (Bitch, bitch, bitch)
[01:18.67] If you scared to take a chance
[01:20.15] How the fuck we gon' get rich?
[01:21.66] Come here, baby, why you always insecure?
[01:23.32] ('Cure, cure, cure, cure, cure, cure)
[01:24.16] Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure
[01:26.89] My inhibition's fightin' my intuition
[01:29.97] Premature premonition, showin' me the demolition
[01:33.25] Of these phony niggas, so ahead of my time
[01:35.54] Even when I rhyme about the future I be reminiscin'
[01:38.35] You want the truth? Well, come and listen
[01:40.11] I'm like that time you bagged a dime
[01:41.69] And checked your phone and saw it was a number missin'
[01:43.84] As fate passes you by, half of you try
[01:46.19] The other half of you fried, too high to actually fly
[01:48.94] One day y'all have to decide, who you gon' be
[01:51.69] A scary nigga or a nigga that's gon' rule like me
[01:54.11] Keep it true like me, Cole, you might be
[01:56.97] Like the new Ice Cube, meets the new Ice-T
[01:59.75] Meets 2 Live Crew, meets the new Spike Lee
[02:02.66] Meets Bruce like Wayne, meets Bruce like Lee
[02:05.22] Meets '02 Lil Wayne, in a new white tee
[02:08.05] Meets KD, ain't no nigga that can shoot like me, blow
[02:11.43] Nigga, why you actin' like a ho?
[02:13.62] Know that I'ma ride for you, either way it go
[02:16.25] Tell me, girl, why you be stressin' me for time?
[02:18.21] (Time, time, time, time, time, time)
[02:18.60] When you tell me you love me
[02:20.42] Can't you see I'm tryna climb?
[02:21.62] Damn, my nigga, why you actin' like a bitch?
[02:23.73] (Bitch, bitch, bitch)
[02:24.50] If you scared to take a chance
[02:25.79] How the fuck we gon' get rich?
[02:27.27] Come here, baby, why you always insecure?
[02:29.26] ('Cure, cure, cure, cure, cure, cure)
[02:29.80] Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure
[02:32.54] Who's the king?
[02:33.75] Came from the bottom, nigga, with stains on my shirt
[02:35.96] What you expected from me, I came from the dirt
[02:37.99] (Who's the king?)
[02:38.78] Money my motivator, the songs that I sing
[02:41.20] Picture a peasant passin' from pawn to a king
[02:43.40] (Who's the king?)
[02:44.27] You tell me you still love me, if so then let me go
[02:46.85] Will I return or will I burn, never know
[02:49.09] (Who's the king?)
[02:50.10] Look in my eyes and see the future
[02:51.93] But don't sugar coat it (Yeah)
[02:54.01] Listen, history repeats itself and that's just how it goes
[02:57.26] Same way that these rappers always bite each other's flows
[03:00.19] Same thing that my nigga Elvis did with rock 'n' roll
[03:02.87] Justin Timberlake, Eminem and then Macklemore
[03:05.49] While silly niggas argue over who gon' snatch the crown
[03:08.15] Look around, my nigga, white people have snatched the sound
[03:11.21] This year I'll pro'ly go to the awards dappered down
[03:13.72] Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile
[03:16.60] I'm just playin', but all good jokes contain true shit
[03:19.32] Same rope you climb up on, they hang you with
[03:22.02] But not Jermaine, my aim too sick
[03:24.11] I bang, nigga, I came to bring the pain my brain too quick
[03:27.93] You see how I maneuver this game, I ain't stupid
[03:30.46] I recognize that life is a dream, and I dream lucid
[03:33.10] And break the chains and change minds
[03:34.73] One verse at a time, and claim 2-6, 2-6
[03:37.13] If the shoe fits, who's the king?
[03:39.16] We all kings (We all kings, nigga)
[03:40.72] Kings of ourselves first and foremost
[03:43.06] (True)
[03:43.81] While the people debate who's the king of this rap game (he-he, ha-ha)
[03:46.09] Here comes little ol' Jermaine
[03:48.16] With every ounce of strength in his veins
[03:50.29] To snatch the crown from whoever y'all think has it (True)
[03:53.09] But rather than place it on his head as soon as he grabs it
[03:55.95] Poof, boom, paow, it's like magic
[03:58.85] With a flash and a bang, the crown disintegrates
[04:01.55] And falls to the Earth from which it came
[04:04.54] It's done
[04:06.24] Ain't gon' be no more kings (Ain't gon' be no more kings)
[04:08.39] Be wary of any man that claims
[04:10.25] Because deep down he clings onto the need for power (Mm)
[04:13.31] In reality he's a coward (Mm)
[04:15.98] Ultimately he's scared to die
[04:18.83] And sometimes so am I
[04:21.13] But when I'm in tune with the most high
[04:23.84] I realize, the fear lies
[04:25.37] In my lack of awareness of the other side (The other side, ay)
[04:27.88] Today I know that we are the same, are the same, you and I (Yes, sir)
[04:32.29] Different kind of skin, different set of eyes
[04:35.29] Two different minds, but only one God (It's only one God, nigga)
[04:38.92] It's for all the kings (Uh)
[04:41.32] 'Cause I know deep down every poet just wanna be loved
[04:44.58]
