Nigga why you actin' like a ho
Know that I'ma ride for ya
either way it go
Tell me girl why you be stressin
me for time
When you tell me you love me
can't you see I'm tryna climb
Damn my nigga why you actin'
like a bitch
If you scared to take a chance
how the fuck we gon' get rich
Come here baby
why you always insecure
Hold on tight to a nigga
and be sure
Ain't a way around it no more
I am the greatest
A lotta niggas
sat on the throne
I am the latest
I am the bravest
go toe to toe with the giants
I ain't afraid of you niggas
I'll end up fading you niggas
'Fore it's all said and done
this nigga need medicine
My uzi it weighed a ton
I need me a better gun
In fact I just might need two
cuz niggas say they the one
And I got something to prove
Forgive me lord here they come
BLAOOW
Nigga why you actin' like a ho
Know that I'ma ride for ya
either way it go
Tell me girl why you be stressin
me for time
When you tell me you love me
can't you see I'm tryna climb
Damn my nigga why you actin'
like a bitch
If you scared to take a chance
how the fuck we gon' get rich
Come here baby
why you always insecure
Hold on tight to a nigga
and be sure
My inhibitions
fighting my intuition
Premature premonition
Showin me the demoliton
of these phony niggas
So ahead of my time
Even when I rhyme about the
future I be reminiscing
You want the truth well
come and listen
I'm like that time
you bagged a dime
And checked ya phone and saw it
was a number missing
As fate passes you by
half of you try
The other half of you fry
too high to actually fly
One day y'all have to decide
who you gon' be
A scary nigga or a nigga
that's gon' rule like me
Keep it true like me
Cole you might be
Like the new Ice Cube
meets the new Ice T
Meets 2 Live Crew
meets the new
Spike Lee
Meets Bruce like Wayne
meets Bruce like Lee
Meets '02 Lil Wayne
in a new white tee
Meets KD ain't no nigga
that can shoot like me
BLAOOOW
Nigga why you actin' like a ho
Know that I'ma ride for ya
either way it go
Tell me girl why you be stressin
me for time
When you tell me you love me
can't you see I'm tryna climb
Damn my nigga why you actin'
like a bitch
If you scared to take a chance
how the fuck we gon' get rich
Come here baby
why you always insecure
Hold on tight to a nigga
and be sure
Who's the king
Came from the bottom nigga
with stains on my shirt
What you expected from me
I came from the dirt
Who's the king
Money my motivator
the songs that I sing
Picture a peasant passin'
from pawn to a King
You tell me ya still love me
if so then let me go
Will I return or will I burn
never know
Look in my eyes and see the future
But don't sugar coat it
Listen
History repeats itself
and that's just how it goes
Same way that these rappers
always bite each others flows
Same thing that my nigga
Elvis did with Rock n Roll
Justin Timberlake Eminem
and then Macklemore
While silly niggas argue over
who gone snatch the crown
Look around my nigga
white people have
snatched the sound
This year I'll prolly
go to the awards dappered down
Watch Iggy win a Grammy
as I try to crack a smile
I'm just playin'
but all good jokes
contain true shit
Same rope you climb up on
they'll hang you with
But not Jermaine
my aim too sick
I bang nigga
I came to bring the pain
my brain too quick
You see how I maneuver
this game I ain't stupid
I recognize that life is a dream
and I dream lucid
And break the chains
and change minds
one verse at a time
And claim too sick
And fuck it if the shoe fits
Who's the king
We all kings
We all kings nigga
Kings of ourselves
first and foremost
True
While the people debate
who's the king of this rap game
Here comes lil' ol' Jermaine
With every ounce of strength
in his veins
To snatch the crown from
whoever y'all think has it
But rather than place it on his
head as soon as he grabs it
Poof boom paow it's like magic
With a flash and a BANG
the crown disintegrates
And falls to the Earth from
which it came
It's done
ain't gonna be no more kings
Be wary of any man that claims
Because deep down he clings
onto the need for power
But in reality he's a coward
Ultimately he's scared to die
And sometimes so am I
But when I'm in tune
with the most high
I realize
The fear lies in my lack
of awareness of the other side
Today I know that we are the same
Are the same you and I
Different kind of skin
different set of eyes
Two different minds
but only one God
It's only one God nigga
It's for all the kings
Cause deep down
I know every poet
just wanna be loved
