{I'M THE KIIIIIIIING~!" <- D.M.C.}
[Phonte]
Yo, back with that new-new to tell you where I come from
Sing a song so I could never be unsung
They think I'm on some, bein fair weather
It's just my ensem-ble, don't care whether
You shake your tail feathers, or your pom-poms
Razor sharp nigga, bong bong (HO!)
It's a bad time to be a emcee if you ain't rhymin right
I spit that China white, nigga call it Hong Kong
Hit the city to see one of my school mates
Makin six figures but she still got a roommate
Just to have a downtown apartment and some outfits
and you askin why I never leave the South, sheeeit
Eh, take some time to dream
Piece of mind's a delightful thing, this is the life of kings...
Yessir 
[Evidence]
And we got it, uh..
{"I'M THE KIIIIIIIING~!" <- D.M.C.}
Yo, 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 let's not object the truth
{*cough cough*} ...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
Tellin Ev', "Let's get on the day and out of this bed"
Kiss my mother, gave my daughter a pound
Then she hugged me ("what?"), 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's a delightful thing, this is the life of kings...
Tigallo, E-V
[Big K.R.I.T]
Chea, yeah..
Big K.R.I.T. shawty, ah-hah
{"I'M THE KIIIIIIIING~!" <- D.M.C.}
Now some consider me a tyrant, 'cause I'd rather push chariots 
Dodgin them sirens, trunk, beatin like violins 
Searchin for me a vibrant thang, more concerned 
with what books I read than what side I claim
Got a vision to be veteran
with a future brighter than a writer decifering light, by Thomas Edison
Plus you remind me of a derelict, relishin on relishments
Too busy throwin rocks at my thrown to find a chair to sit
I'm the type of +King+ you'll probably see Coretta with
Country-bred, country-raised, and intelligent
Rose bud lifestyle and yours is petalless
The hand of God and mine you shouldn't mettle with
My reign's benevolent
Ever since I fell out the womb I was destined to conquer melodies
So take some time to dream
Piece of mind's a delightful thing, this is the life of kings...
{"I'M THE KIIIIIIIING~!" <- D.M.C.}
[Outro: Phonte]

And New Tigallo New Tigallo New Tigallo New Tigallo New Tigallo
{"I'M THE KIIIIIIIING~!" <- D.M.C.}
This is the life of kings, feel good
Good like oxtails from&nbsp;?Eve's? Kitchen, nigga
Yeah! Haha
