10 Points Lyrics

[00:14.02] America the beautiful, gangsta's paradise
[00:16.60] For a black man to be rich
[00:18.19] You say we sacrifice our own family members
[00:20.66] Like we're not savvy enough to make outstanding figures
[00:23.46] And ain't nobody in no cult
[00:25.24] I give so much, financially give away
[00:27.71] But there's an aspect of that that's crippling to us today
[00:30.67] Still coping and dealing with my environment as a kid
[00:33.52] I trust no one today because what someone in my past did
[00:36.53] King, gotta learn to let it go and move forward
[00:39.35] King, you should learn to say no, keep all your dough in
[00:42.34] King, Michael Jordan gives back and you didn't know it
[00:45.01] Like LeBron does, but it's just seldom they show it
[00:47.85] King, get ten points from one bird doin' your thing
[00:50.78] King, 'til one of your homies decide to sing
[00:53.43] King, I started sayin' "Peace King" on my song "The Flyest"
[00:56.96] And after that, it took off like fire, peace, King
[00:59.15] Took it from a street dude, you don't need to be a street dude
[01:01.99] Get a lawyer, read your contract, and eat food
[01:04.53] Become Roberta Flack or Lionel
[01:06.16] When you catch flack, that mean they got they eye on you
[01:08.57] Produce great results, they start to lie on you
[01:11.15] Is it love for a Queens dude in Supreme shoes
[01:13.97] Or did the street code expire with these dudes?
[01:16.00] Especially now, I don't expect you to bow, but stand
[01:19.37] Creating jobs, named my venture from after the land
[01:21.83] I came from, that's unheard of
[01:23.70] A hood that's known for murder now doing mergers
[01:26.77] The streets is a lie
[01:27.75] Don't believe these dudes, jail or death is all you get
[01:30.32] They tell you never move, but when they get money, they split
[01:33.30] King, gotta learn to let it go and move forward
[01:35.75] King, you should learn to say no, keep all your dough in
[01:38.71] King, Michael Jordan gives back and you didn't know it
[01:41.47] Like LeBron does, but it's just seldom they show it
[01:44.41] King, get ten points from one bird doin' your thing
[01:47.16] King, 'til one of your homies decide to sing
[01:50.08] King, I started saying "Peace King"
[01:51.99] On my song "The Flyest" (Peace King)
[01:53.57] And after that, it took off like fire
[01:55.20] They hardly happy for you, keep doing what you do
[01:58.03] You can't please everybody, and not everybody is you
[02:00.81] Don't try to force a square peg in a round circle
[02:03.51] That shit'll hurt you
[02:04.38] Don't try to fit in either, you're better off with neither
[02:07.20] Few veteran speakers get medicine when you need it
[02:09.46] Especially when we all need knowledge instead of sneakers
[02:12.65] Stop hangin' on to childhood trauma, it defeats us
[02:15.45] Our challenge is holding ourselves back, I hope you felt that
[02:18.15] Queen, gotta learn to let it go and move forward
[02:21.08] King, you should learn to say no, keep all your dough in
[02:24.02] King, Michael Jordan gives back and you didn't know it
[02:26.93] Like LeBron does, but it's just seldom they show it
[02:29.53] King, get ten points from one bird doin' your thing
[02:32.38] King, 'til one of your homies decide to sing
[02:35.03] King, I started saying "Peace King" on my song "The Flyest"
[02:38.50] And after that, it took off like fire, peace, King
[02:39.86]
