Phonte – The Life Of Kings lyrics

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
Its just my ? boy don't care whether
You shake your tail feathers, or your pom poms
?
Its 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

Take some time to dream
Piece of mind is a delightful thing
This is the life of kings

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 lets not object to truth
? 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 lets get on the daily ?
Kiss my mother gave my daughter a pound
Then she hugged me 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 ?

Take some time to dream
Piece of mind is a delightful thing
This is the life of kings

Now some consider me a ?
Cause I would rather push ? dodging them sirens
Trunk beating like violins, 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 writer deciphering light by Thomas Edison
Cause you remind me of a derelict relishing on ?
Too busy throwing rocks at my thrown to find a chair to sit
I'm the type of king you'll probably see ? with
Country bred, country raised, and intelligent
Rose bud lifestyle and yours is petal-less
The hand of God and mine you shouldn't mettle with
My reign is benevolent
Ever since I fell out the ? I was destined to conquer melodies

Take some time to dream
Piece of mind is a delightful thing
This is the life of kings
