lyrics

(Sample)
Holy water, cannot help you now, see I’ve come to burn, your kingdom down
And no rivers, and no lakes, can put the fire out
I’m going to raise the stakes, I’m going to set you off

(Hook)
Everybody wants to be a king, son
Too many kings in the kingdom
God, do you wanna meet the king’s son?
What if god is a fraud and your king’s dumb?

(Verse 1)
Blow it up, this time I’m going nuts
Too many wannabes, so I’m showing up
If you old enough, throw away the sippy cup
Put your dick back in, man zip it up
Get strong in this game, then rip it up
Tear a castle straight down to the ground
Glad I didn’t grow up with these clowns
Mad I had to show up, to this gown
But I had to take a chance
I knew a king would be crowned
And they’d kneel to the ground
Just believing all of these sounds
But I got a few words for the queens in the town
Too many fake crowns the deceit that I found
Has me making a change and its starting right now
Kill fakeness today, yeah I’m burning it down
Saint’s in the way of my murderous style
And the whole world’s ghost, see smoke, I’m toasting the mile
Take the crown in my hands, and smash it down in the pile
I stand right here, tell a joke, I’m just cracking a smile
As the pack falls back, I’m laughing awhile,
No kings left, look around only jokers now

(Hook)
Everybody wants to be a king, son
Too many kings in the kingdom
God, do you wanna meet the king’s son?
What if god is a fraud and your king’s dumb?

(Bridge)
Fuck y’all mad at me for? Coming in here to do new things
Pissed off, my new flow is better than all of you lames
Don’t need kings, we need civilians,
Need Wu Tang, and a couple villians
I’m coming in to produce a feeling
You coming in to just hope for millions

(Sample)
Holy water, cannot help you now, see I’ve come to burn, your kingdom down
And no rivers, and no lakes, can put the fire out
I’m going to raise the stakes, I’m going to set you off

(Hook)
Everybody wants to be a king, son
Too many kings in the kingdom
God, do you wanna meet the king’s son?
What if god is a fraud and your king’s dumb?

(Verse 2)
Just call me New Uncle Murda,
Fuck ya frauds and ya Bobby Shmurda’s
I’m Upstate from the NYC
So many kings in that damn city
The first one to claim it was B.I.G.
But when in the ground you’re the king of nothing
No disrespect, see we just discussing
If the king went down and has lost his crown
We don’t need another one of y’all to pick it up now
So Jay, I say, the king didn’t come
Let’s be on our way,
No new kings, and no based gods
No OGs, and no race cards
Do ya thing man, and rap hard
I was gonna crash cars like its NASCAR
And smash bars in the back yards
Of these bastards, whose raps are…not a factor,
K. Dot, I’m talking to you,
Don’t be a king, man, keep it true,
rap your style, so the tracks you lay
are inspiration, put it on display
Beyond that it’s all good
I’m giving back like Robin Hood
Don’t start a fight and get in a car with Suge
Then you’re on the strip and you’re gone for good
That’s the way it goes in the rap game
Today’s days the facts change
So I rap without needing to backspace
I’m on the track, leaving a bad taste
For these rap saints, who smoke out like ashtrays
Trying to just blaze

(Hook)
Everybody wants to be a king, son
Too many kings in the kingdom
God, do you wanna meet the king’s son?
What if god is a fraud and your king’s dumb?

(Bridge)
Fuck y’all mad at me for? Coming in here to do new things
Pissed off, my new flow is better than all of you lames
Don’t need kings, we need civilians,
Need Wu Tang, and a couple villians
I’m coming in to produce a feeling
You coming in to just hope for millions

(Verse 3)
Coming in here to just change the game
But my brains hang and the words spill
You’re like heartburn, I’m the purple pill
And my heart burns with the urge to kill
These fake actors, who ain’t rappers
Got 2 Chainz to hang ya faster
Your only hope is that you break the plaster
You fall down and you’re never captured
Royal treatment meets a new disaster
Revolutions and we’re moving faster
Burn the village as the children scamper
Because they served a king that we’re headed after
And the words I sling are the feted dagger
To stop the tyrant, an indebted master
Don’t want to lead, it isn’t what I asked for
Hand the crown to me and it gets smashed and shattered

(Bridge)
Fuck y’all mad at me for? Coming in here to do new things
Pissed off, my new flow is better than all of you lames
Don’t need kings, we need civilians,
Need Wu Tang, and a couple villians
I’m coming in to produce a feeling
You coming in to just hope for millions

(Verse 4)
Fuck y’all looking at me for? Like my belt got G-O-D on it
And I fly high, like a streaking comet
Then lay it down, producing miracles
Hold up we’re getting way too spiritual
I sold love in the face of the fearful
This song got nearing tears, too
Smash the crowns because I know you feel it, dude

(Hook) (2x)
Everybody wants to be a king, son
Too many kings in the kingdom
God, do you wanna meet the king’s son?
What if god is a fraud and your king’s dumb?

(Bridge)
Fuck y’all mad at me for? Coming in here to do new things
Pissed off, my new flow is better than all of you lames
Don’t need kings, we need civilians,
Need Wu Tang, and a couple villians
I’m coming in to produce a feeling
You coming in to just hope for millions
The king’s dumb (2x)

(Outro)
Fuck y’all mad at me for? Coming in here to do new things
Pissed off, my new flow is better than all of you lames
Don’t need kings (echo)
