****, why you actin' like a ****?
Know that I'ma ride for you 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?
Yeah, my ****, why you actin' like a ****?
If you scared to take a chance, how the **** we gon' get rich?
Come here, baby, why you always insecure?
Hold on tight to a **** and be sure
Ain't no way around it no more, I am the greatest
Lotta **** 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 ****, I'll end up fadin' you ****
'Fore it's all said and done, this **** need medicine
My Uzi, it weighed a ton, I need me a better gun
In fact, I just might need two 'cause **** say they the one
And I got somethin' to prove, forgive me Lord here they come, blaow!
****, why you actin' like a ****?
Know that I'ma ride for you 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?
Yeah, my ****, why you actin' like a ****?
If you scared to take a chance, how the **** we gon' get rich?
Come here, baby, why you always insecure?
Hold on tight to a **** and be sure
My inhibition's fightin' my intuition
Premature premonition showin' me the demolition of these phony ****
So ahead of my time, even when I rhyme about the future, I be reminiscin'
You want the truth, well, come and listen
I'm like that time you bagged a dime
And checked your phone and saw it was a number missin'
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 **** or a **** 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 Two 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 **** that can shoot like me, blaow!
****, why you actin' like a ****?
Know that I'ma ride for you 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?
Yeah, my ****, why you actin' like a ****?
If you scared to take a chance, how the **** we gon' get rich?
Come here, baby, why you always insecure?
Hold on tight to a **** and be sure
Who's the king?
Came from the bottom, ****, with stains on my shirt
What you expected from me, I came from the dirt
Money my motivator, the songs that I sing
Picture a peasant passin' from pawn to a king
Tell me you still love me, if so, then let me go
Will I return or will I burn, never know
Look in my eyes to see the future but don't sugarcoat 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 **** Elvis did with rock and roll
Justin Timberlake, Eminem, and then Macklemore
While silly **** argue over who gon' snatch the crown
Look around, my ****, white people have snatched the sound
This year, I'll probably go to the awards dappered down
Watch Iggy win the Grammy as I try to crack a smile, I'm just playin'
But all good jokes contain true ****
Same rope you climb up on, they hang you with
But not Jermaine, my aim too sick, I bang, ****
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 2-6, and **** it if the shoe fits, who's the king?
We all kings
Kings of ourselves, first and foremost
While the people debate who's the king of this rap game
Here comes lil' old 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, pow, 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 gon' be no more kings
Be wary of any man that claims
'Cause deep down, he clings onto the need for power
In reality, he's a coward
Ultimately, he's scared to die
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 for all the kings
'Cause I know deep down, every poet just wanna be loved
