Slege Lee - Young Boy You'll Be Royalty lyrics

[Verse 1] If you read into the prophecies repeated from the first ones Evil retreated into the darkness when the verse comes Verse came, Abel verse Cain, brothers thirst guns So it was said he sent the plague for our first sons Live once, but I don't believe that when the hearse come That'll be the only outcome I was birthed from Seek and you will find, why you think I'm on a search son? Couple years back I was a very different person Scheming on a jack, that's a very different purse son Leaning off the yak, that's a very different bourbon This isn't just rap, it's a gift and it's a curse son Click and then I clack, they gone need someone to nurse them Look at how I burst in, the truth sayer Over loops and flutes that basically recruited me as soothsayer Dooms dayer, I take you to your final chapter Vinyls scratch the path to define your master [Hook] Black, beautiful, innocent child They found me on the rivers of the Nile Floating in a basket among the water reeds Young boy, one day you'll be royalty [Verse 2] Medals round the neck, I want all titles Rappers in my city all of them are my disciples To the culture, I'm the one you call vital Too many vultures got em praying to false idols Im an odd highness, rolling blunts outta George's Bible Tryna find another way to spark righteous Keep it real so the frauds despise it But its cool cos I'm a k**er meeter and I'm not talking mileage This is God science for what its worth I flow until I form a river just to flood the earth We stab each other in the back curse our brother's birth And bleed into the ground to give our blood back to the dirt We owe more than half praying to the golden calf lost Path lost, feeling like we're on a crash course I'm tryna add it all up but the math short Last resort storm the castle then crash court [Hook] Black, beautiful, innocent child They found me on the rivers of the Nile Floating in a basket among the water reeds Young boy, one day you'll be royalty Roaming through the streets tryna turn another freak Cos thats the only time I ever turn the other cheek I'm rolling on the trees tryna burn another leaf Plus we going through a drought gotta watch out for police No justice, no peace, no equality either Seventy percent of your salary goes to Caesar Thirty percent goes to the priest, you're a believer Now he's riding round in them jeeps he's a receiver I got this new girl from the 'V' thats chicks a diva She keep tapping into my g's I'll have to leave her I guess what I'm trying to say is be a leader Split-second decision make it without a breather Do it all for the people going through these different files What it means to be regal going through these different trials They couldn't find a sequel, I was just a different child They found me in the basket floating on the river Nile [Hook] Black, beautiful, innocent child They found me on the rivers of the Nile Floating in a basket among the water reeds Young boy, one day you'll be royalty
