[Intro] Hey fellas, what y'all got there? Aw man, y'all messin' with the king What king man? This is drugs homeboy, high-powered drugs Oh, so that's what you call it? Yeah, baby, yeah I don't care what you call it, it's still the king Man, king who? King heroin brother King heroin [Chorus] The king is here, that's what I said Have fun, take some, it's for your head (King, king, king heroin, heroin!) (King, king heroin, heroin!) The king is here, that's what I said It's good stuff, take a puff, it's for your head! (King, king, king heroin, heroin!) (King, king heroin, heroin!) The king is here, that's what I said That this, take a sniff, it's for your head! [Verse 1] Ha ha, king heroin you know me I was raised in the land called poppy seed Well I'm known by all throughout the world By men, boys, women, all ages and girls I've been used and abused by yes all sorts Running with the politicians, causing trouble for sports 'Cause you can use me once you'll do it again And if not by yourself, then uh, with a friend I'll have you sniffin', noddin', I'll mess with your mind I'll make you do it, commit all sorts of crime I'll make a full grown man take off his watch I'll send a greedy man to prison for the rest of his life King heroin, you call me a drug And yet you joke and smoke until you start to bug I mean you spend all your money, you know you do Because you want me, you haunt me, you know it's true I come in nickles and dimes for the kids in schools I come in fifties and hundreds for the bigger fools 'Cause I'm king! [Refrain] (King, king heroin) King! (King, king heroin) King! (King, king heroin, heroin!) King! (King, king heroin, heroin!) [Verse 2] Some call me bad but treat me good I get you so much treated like a fool It's a doggone shame how you stick it in your vein It's a real live thrill when you pop the pill I'll make a mother hate her daughter, make a father beat his son Make them treat their child wild 'cause I'm number one Well I'm the reason, the cause, why you do wrong I can turn you off and turn you on I'm not a man, not a woman, I'm just a thing But I rule your world 'cause I'm the king Well you could call me speed or call me blow Ask me to get you high, I'll never say no I love pushers, addicts, all my users 'Cause one by one I turn 'em into losers Hey I'm king-king heroin, I'm gonna get you high before I end, my friend [Verse 3] Well they better listen good 'cause I'm no joke I was there when Richard Pryor went up in smoke Well I warned him once but he didn't learn I got a kick out of causing a grown man to burn 'Cause I'll do it to the stars, I'll do it to the cons It was heroin that put away Nicky Barnes So don't you laugh 'cause you ain't slick Admit it, I'm a habit you just can't quit Well I could be your best friend, I could be your enemy This brother want blow, that brother want speed Yes I love one and I love all 'Cause when you wanna get high I'm the one you call Now some people I help, some people I hurt Inside every one of you is nothin' but a jerk 'Cause all I do is mess with your brain Make you depend, drive you insane But you don't care 'cause you think it's cool Playin' with the king like a doggone fool Don't try to go straight 'cause it's too late Face it, you're hooked, your mind I took Don't plead to the lord, ain't nothin' he will do About the speed, the blow, the people sniffin' glue This goes for the addicts, the ones with the habits Don't pray, just nod, heroin is your god! (King, king heroin, heroin!) (King, king, king heroin) [Outro] Hey, the Funky 4, how y'all doin? (Alright) (What's up!) (What's happenin' man, how you doin' Jimmy?) (Alright) (What's goin' on?) I'm just chillin', I heard you had a show tonight (Yeah, man, we playin' tonight, we playin' tonight) (What's happenin'?) Well you know me, I'm gonna pick me up a hit and I'll be right on by there (That sound kind of rough) No, but excuse me baby, take it from a lady's point of view Stay away from all the buddha, the blotter, all the drugs You know I'm hip to king heroin, but all we want you to do is come to the party and be yourself (That's right) (Just be yourself) (That's all it takes) (All them drugs are wrong man [?]) (Straight as an arrow) (Heroin) (King, king heroin, heroin!) (King, king, king heroin, heroin!) (King, king heroin, heroin!) (Heroin) (Heroin) (King, king heroin, heroin!) (King, king heroin, heroin!)
