The Life of Kings

Lyrics

[Intro] I'm the King! [Verse 1: 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, being fair weather It's just my ensemble, don't care whether You shake your tail feathers, or your pom poms Razor sharp nigga, bong bong It's a bad time to be a MC if you ain't rhyming right I spit that China white, nigga, call it Hong Kong Hit the city to see one of my school mates Making six figures but she still got a roommate Just to have a downtown apartment and some outfits And you asking why I never leave the south, shit... [Chorus: Phonte] Take some time to dream Peace of mind's a delightful thing This is the life of kings [Interlude: Evidence & (Phonte)] And we got it (Yessir) Uh (Hey) I'm the King! [Verse 2: Evidence] 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 to truth (Uh, uh) 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 Telling 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... [Chorus: Evidence] Take some time to dream Peace of mind's a delightful thing This is the life of kings [Interlude: Evidence & (Big K.R.I.T)] (Yeah) Tigallo, (Big K.R.I.T shawty), E V I'm the King! [Verse 3: Big K.R.I.T] Now some consider me a tyrant Cause I would rather push chariots, dodging them sirens Trunk beating like violence, searching for me a vibrant thing 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 deciphering light by Thomas Edison 'Cause you remind me of a derelict relishing on relishments Too busy throwing rocks at my throne to find a chair to sit I'm the type of king you'll probably see Coretta with Country bred, country raised, and intelligent Rosebud lifestyle and yours is petal-less The hand of God and mine you shouldn't meddle with My reign is benevolent Ever since I fell out the womb I was destined to conquer melodies [Chorus: Big K.R.I.T.] So take some time to dream Peace of mind's a delightful thing This is the life of kings [Outro: Phonte (Evidence)] Big K.R.I.T EV (This is the Life of Kings) And New Tigallo, New Tigallo, New Tigallo, New Tigallo, New Tigallo, New Tigallo This is the life of kings Feel good Feel like oxtails from Tee's Kitchen nigga Yeah, haha
