Lyrics for King Back

And the prophecy read That one day like the Phoenix aroused from the ashes That a boy would be born unto a family in the slums This boy would go on to use the knowledge he gained While fighting for survival in the streets To become a great leader And in time that boy would grow to become king Time to ride nigga Just blaze I welcome you to get acquainted with the youngest in charge Respected from East to West like he was running the mob Dictating ain't taking orders from no one but God I know you niggas is broke 'cause I know what you charge You niggas wishing for a Phantom, it's one in my garage It's black as Bulgari, right next to the platinum Ferrari You niggas ain't getting money off of rapping I'm sorry Fucked the rent up, went and spent sixty large on a Harley It's where you stay ten, 012 feet, not hardly Now you see that we ain't able to compete, now are we? Hey pardon me, I'm giving you the West Side Story Of the A, where I stay, niggas stay down for me Wanna play? have you gay niggas lay down for me And get an order for killers to spray rounds for me Competition, you ain't considered your rapping you bore me You repping the a horribly, must I say more importantly The King back, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Nigga, the King back, yeah yeah a-yeah yeah You better lean back, hey, hey, hey, wise up Nigga, the King back alright, hey tell these niggas what? The King back, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey Nigga, the King back, hey hey hey oh Shawty, you seen that? what happened, my nigga? Nigga, the King back, alright, let's tell these niggas, hey Hey man, y'all niggas got me way too fucked-up You understand that? What you need to do is, homeboy, you need to go back and grab, I'm serious you know You need to get familiar with Dope Boys and see where all these niggas got their styles right now See where that trap shit came from Then you need to graduate to mutherfucking In Da Streets Volume one through three Then you need to go to Trap Muzik I got locked up for a second Then grab Urban Legend and now to bring you up to speed Who knew you could fit on your wrist a whole pound of diamonds? I'm number one on the list while you clowns are climbing Wishing to be in positions that you found that I'm in Since you niggas do what I say, I'm world-renowned than Simon If Jay handle a clay and around the time I deliver a bad day when 45's is firing I care the least 'bout polices and the firemen's sirens Ambulances ain't gon stand a chance in reviving DOA, the man you beat deceased upon them arriving Paramedics yell clear, and your flatline's silent You ain't ready for out here 'cause the lifestyle violent You think you is, you must be living on fantasy Island You make us mad, get your ass wiped out like Thailand Hit up my phone, I got one up and drank the the while you following To say you want it with me is to go to war with the finest Need you be reminded, want it with Your Highness? The King back, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Nigga, the King Back, yeah, yeah, ah, yeah, yeah You better lean back, hey, hey, hey, wise up Nigga, the King Back, alright, hey tell these niggas what? The King back, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey Nigga, the King back, hey, hey, hey, oh Shawty, you seen that? what happened, my nigga? Nigga, the King back alright, let's tell these niggas, hey Hey man, look, I know y'all niggas in the trap everyday still, man I know y'all niggas don't see nothing but the projects, nothing but bricks But listen, make no motherfucking mistake, man, I still will suit up my muthafucking self AK and 45, nigga, on side, nigga And come see about niggas, you understand? But I don't wanna do that 'cause I respect that shit y'all doing I started that shit, I made that shit cool, I made these niggas want to be you, nigga Nigga, respect this shit
