The Life of Kings (feat. Evidence & Big K.R.I.T.) Lyrics

Back with that new new to tell you where I come from
Sing a song so I could never be unsung
They think im on some, being fair weather
Its just my ... boy dont care whether
You shake your tail feathers, or your pom poms
Its a bad time to be a mc if you ain't rhyming right
I spit that china white nigga call it hong kong
Hit the city to see one of my school mates
Making six figures but she still got a roommate
Just to have a downtown apartment and some outfits
And you asking why I never leave the south shit...

Take some time to dream
Piece of mind is a delightful thing
This is the life of kings

People be confused how I move with the utmost
Respect and yet I get my due
And true, I got nothing to prove
Could be my new objective but lets not object to truth
... on days like these
I count my blessings and say my dreams
Out loud when I wake up
The voice up inside of my head
Telling EV lets get on the daily...
Kiss my mother gave my daughter a pound
Then she hugged me then she turned around
In my time the life of a king is undefinable
The closest we might get is pressed up to the vinyl though shit...

Take some time to dream
Piece of mind is a delightful thing
This is the life of kings

Now some consider me a ...
Cause I would rather push ..., dodging them sirens
Trunk beating like violins, searching for me a vibrant thing
More concerned with what books I read than what side I claim
Got a vision to be veteran
With a future brighter than writer decifering light by thomas edison
Cause you remind me of a derelict relishing on...
Too busy throwing rocks at my thrown to find a chair to sit
Im the type of king youll probably see ... with
Country bred, country raised, and intelligent
Rose bud lifestyle and yours is petal-less
The hand of God and mine you shouldn't mettle with
My reign is benevolent
Ever since I fell out the ... I was destined to conquer melodies

Take some time to dream
Piece of mind is a delightful thing
This is the life of kings
