[Hook] n***a 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 n***a why you actin' like a b**h If you scared to take a chance, how the f** we gon' get rich? Come here baby why you always insecure? Hold on tight to a n***a and be sure [Verse 1] Ain't a way around it no more, I am the greatest A lotta n***as 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 n***as, I'll end up fading you n***as 'Fore it's all said and done, this n***a need medicine My uzi it weighed a ton, I need me a better gun In fact I just might need two, cuz n***as say they the one And I got something to prove Forgive me lord here they come, BLAOOW [Hook] n***a 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 n***a why you actin' like a b**h If you scared to take a chance, how the f** we gon' get rich? Come here baby why you always insecure? Hold on tight to a n***a and be sure [Verse 2] My inhibitions, fighting my intuition Premature premontion Showin me the demoliton of these phony n***as 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 pa**es you by half of you try The other half of you fry, too high to actually fly One day yall have to decide, who you gon be A scary n***a or a n***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 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 n***a that can shoot like me! BLAOOOW [Hook] n***a 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 n***a why you actin' like a b**h If you scared to take a chance, how the f** we gon' get rich? Come here baby why you always insecure? Hold on tight to a n***a and be sure [Bridge] (Who's the king?) Came from the bottom n***a, 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 pa**in' 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 [Verse 3] History repeats itself and that's just how it goes Same way that these rappers always bite each others flows Same thing that my n***a Elvis did with Rock n Roll Justin Timberlake, Eminem, and then Macklemore While silly n***as argue over who gone snatch the crown Look around my n***a 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 sh** Same rope you climb up on, they'll hang you with But not Jermaine, my aim too sick I bang n***a, 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 that you sick, and f** it if the truth is Who's the king? [Outro] We all kings (We all kings n***a) 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 from 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 claims onto the need for power But 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 realise 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 n***a) It's for all the kings Cause deep down I know every pore just wanna be loved
