The Life of Kings - Phonte, Big K.R.I.T., Evidence

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 ensemble don’t care whether

You shake your tail feathers, or your pom poms

Razor sharp nigga bong bong

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

Peace of mind is a delightful thing

This is the life of kings

And we got it (Yessir)

I’m the King!

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

(cough cough) 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 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…

(Yea)

Tigallo, (Big K.R.I.T), E V

I’m the King!

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
