The Fallen King

Lyrics

[J Dash singing] [Verse 1: K-Rino] Just when K had paved the way to say that I made it All the paper that I made, I wasn't able to save it Maybe cause when I was paid I never gave him the praises It's outrageous tryna reach higher material stages Try'na view life through my own eyes, the pair I was blessed with Cause once you touch a lot of cash your character's tested Some wreak of a degenerate of arrogant essences Until he's humble brought down and his talent's arrested Knew that once I hit my peak I be a permanent fixture The lofty height I reach was nothing like I had pictured I was paranoid and lonely and my heart was in darkness Standing on and looking down just made me wanna jump off it With no sound foundation to base my investment The power made me crazy and evasion to question Knew deep down from the start the future greatness was destined But the quest to chase possession is like chasing depression [Hook] You see I dwelled in the palace, bathe in the cash I stood on the mountain top, I drank from the glass Thought that I could rule the world, but couldn't handle the throne In the end, The Fallen King was left standing alone You see I dwelled in the palace, bathe in the cash I stood on the mountain top, I drank from the glass Thought that I could rule the world, but couldn't handle the throne In the end, The Fallen King was left standing alone [Verse 2:] It took a small amount of time for my greedy mind to ground me The wealth destroyed myself and the people around me And anything of good that men would happen to mention Saw the people I stepped on during my rapid descension As I fell from grace. I witness the faces above I never once wanted the cash to take the place of the love But it did, until my heart developed strong resistance And the lustful things I live for were no longer sufficient I would bask in the bank accounts of massive amounts But there's only so much property and cash you can count Achieving success, birds of prey bleeding my nest All the users and the parasites that leech on your flesh Drop my soul in every low-end, to sober these cold winds And cover the loneliness with female over indulgence Had it all and still had nothing, worship the wealth The misguided king who possessed everything but himself [Singing: J Dash] High on arrogance, drunk on pride Fueled by greed, failed when I was tried High on arrogance, drunk on pride Fueled by greed, failed when I was tried [Hook] You see I dwelled in the palace, bathe in the cash I stood on the mountain top, I drank from the glass Thought that I could rule the world, but couldn't handle the throne In the end, The Fallen King was left standing alone You see I dwelled in the palace, bathe in the cash I stood on the mountain top, I drank from the glass Thought that I could rule the world, but couldn't handle the throne In the end, The Fallen King was left standing alone [Verse 3:] Mind state worsening, what is this I'm worshipping? Who would be that person that could bring me down to earth again? Humility burgeoning, ego short circuiting Searching for a new chance on a turf like it was 1st & 10 I had a few people who try to make me reapply And I underappreciated them, no need for me to lie The King was a conceited guy Who found out why it's harder for a rich man to reach heaven then a camel to pass through a needle's eye Tears under every smile, no situation Meant nothing unless it gave me instant gratification They say money's not everything, and that right, it's really not But those words are usually said by those who have none or a lot The dynamics of our lives are greatly diversified Happy poor folks and rich men who commit suicide Had to lose it all just to accomplish the real prize The King who had the fall in order to rise
