[ar:J. Cole]
[00:22.020] Nigga why you actin' like a ho?
[00:24.760] Know that I'ma ride for ya, either way it go
[00:27.250] Tell me girl why you be stressin me for time
[00:29.990] When you tell me you love me, can't you see im tryna climb
[00:32.830] Damn my nigga why you actin' like a bitch
[00:35.370] If you scared to take a chance, how the fuck we gon' get rich?
[00:38.270] Come here baby why you always insecure?
[00:41.160] Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure
[00:43.040][Verse 1]
[00:43.550] Ain't a way around it no more, I am the greatest
[00:46.550] A lotta niggas sat on the throne, I am the latest
[00:49.490] I am the bravest, go toe to toe with the giants
[00:52.030] I ain't afraid of you niggas, I'll end up fading you niggas
[00:54.730] 'Fore it's all said and done, this nigga need medicine
[00:57.310] My uzi it weighed a ton, I need me a better gun
[00:59.960] In fact I just might need two, cuz niggas say they the one
[01:02.750] And I got something to prove
[01:04.580] Forgive me lord here they come, BLAOOW
[01:06.140] Nigga why you actin' like a ho?
[01:08.520] Know that I'ma ride for ya, either way it go
[01:11.020] Tell me girl why you be stressin me for time
[01:14.060] When you tell me you love me, can't you see im tryna climb
[01:16.450] Damn my nigga why you actin' like a bitch
[01:19.400] If you scared to take a chance, how the fuck we gon' get rich?
[01:21.980] Come here baby why you always insecure?
[01:24.940] Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure
[01:26.710][Verse 2]
[01:27.320] My inhibitions, fighting my intuition
[01:30.320] Premature premonition
[01:31.850] Showin me the demoliton of these phony niggas
[01:34.640] So ahead of my time
[01:36.160] Even when I rhyme about the future I be reminiscing
[01:38.960] You want the truth well come and listen
[01:40.630] I'm like that time you bagged a dime
[01:42.250] And checked ya phone and saw it was a number missing
[01:44.390] As fate passes you by, half of you try
[01:46.630] The other half of you fry, too high to actually fly
[01:49.380] One day y'all have to decide, who you gon' be
[01:52.120] A scary nigga or a nigga that's gon' rule like me
[01:54.810] Keep it true like me, Cole you might be
[01:57.290] Like the new Ice Cube, meets the new Ice-T
[02:00.190] Meets 2 Live Crew, meets the new Spike Lee
[02:03.140] Meets Bruce like Wayne, meets Bruce like Lee
[02:05.670] Meets '02 Lil Wayne, in a new white tee
[02:08.420] Meets KD, ain't no nigga that can shoot like me! BLAOOOW
[02:11.750] Nigga why you actin' like a ho?
[02:14.090] Know that I'ma ride for ya, either way it go
[02:16.590] Tell me girl why you be stressin me for time
[02:19.530] When you tell me you love me, can't you see im tryna climb
[02:22.070] Damn my nigga why you actin' like a bitch
[02:25.020] If you scared to take a chance, how the fuck we gon' get rich?
[02:27.620] Come here baby why you always insecure?
[02:30.370] Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure
[02:32.600][Bridge]
[02:33.160] (Who's the king?)
[02:34.280] Came from the bottom nigga, with stains on my shirt
[02:36.610] What you expected from me, I came from the dirt
[02:38.640] (Who's the king?)
[02:38.840] Money my motivator, the songs that I sing
[02:42.100] Picture a peasant passin' from pawn to a King
[02:44.330] You tell me ya still love me, if so then let me go
[02:47.580] Will I return or will I burn, never know
[02:49.810] Look in my eyes and see the future
[02:52.410] But don't sugar coat it
[02:53.830][Verse 3]
[02:54.540] Listen
[02:55.200] History repeats itself and that's just how it goes
[02:57.940] Same way that these rappers always bite each others flows
[03:01.040] Same thing that my nigga Elvis did with Rock n Roll
[03:03.430] Justin Timberlake, Eminem, and then Macklemore
[03:06.120] While silly niggas argue over who gone snatch the crown
[03:08.960] Look around my nigga white people have snatched the sound
[03:11.770] This year I*ll prolly go to the awards dappered down
[03:14.300] Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile
[03:17.090] I'm just playin', but all good jokes contain true shit
[03:19.850] Same rope you climb up on, they'll hang you with
[03:22.430] But not Jermaine, my aim too sick
[03:25.120] I bang nigga, I came to bring the pain my brain too quick
[03:27.970] You see how I maneuver this game, I ain't stupid
[03:30.660] I recognize that life is a dream, and I dream lucid
[03:33.350] And break the chains and change minds, one verse at a time
[03:36.190] And claim too sick. And fuck it, if the shoe fits
[03:38.780] Who's the king?
[03:39.850][Outro]
[03:40.210] We all kings
[03:41.530] (We all kings nigga)
[03:42.800] Kings of ourselves first and foremost
[03:44.070] (True)
[03:44.270] While the people debate who's the king of this rap game
[03:46.970] Here comes lil' ol' Jermaine
[03:49.200] With every ounce of strength in his veins
[03:50.830] To snatch the crown from whoever y'all think has it
[03:54.080] But rather than place it on his head as soon as he grabs it
[03:56.570] Poof, boom, paow, it's like magic
[03:59.370] With a flash and a BANG the crown disintegrates
[04:02.820] And falls to the Earth from which it came
[04:05.210] It's done
[04:06.270] Ain't gonna be no more kings
[04:08.760] Be wary of any man that claims
[04:10.590] Because deep down he clings onto the need for power
[04:13.590] But in reality he's a coward
[04:16.330] Ultimately he's scared to die
[04:19.430] And sometimes so am I
[04:21.410] But when I'm in tune with the most high
[04:24.050] I realize
[04:25.110] The fear lies in my lack of awareness of the other side
[04:29.020] Today I know that we are the same
[04:30.750] Are the same, you and I
[04:32.780] Different kind of skin, different set of eyes
[04:35.320] Two different minds, but only one God
[04:37.810] (It's only one God nigga)
[04:39.990] It's for all the kings
[04:41.670] Cause deep down I know every poet just wanna be loved
