The Fallen King - 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

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

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 decision

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

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

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

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
