lyrics

What do you do when you've done it all
Not to sound vain but if you listen while I attempt to charge
This track with mad bars that explains my current predicament
Your attention is worth more than a dealership
Of nice cars with keys at my disposal
Or pretty broads with mouths painted the color of roses I’m supposing
That’s what it bowls down to someday
But embers engulf my timbers like flames I can’t sit still
But why would I anyway looking back at the tracks the way I came
The monuments and towers all inscribed with my name
Legendary
That girl that spits swirls of color
They say I favor lady Lauryn I say she is my mother
And Pac my father or maybe it was Jay yo I can’t say
Whatever it is I am they pointed the way
You utter my name the choir they sang
But I will never be King
I will never be King
I will never be King
I will never be King

My voice sounds heavy from all the mileage I’m carrying
My bones brittle breaking my hands tremor they shaking man
What happened to the days of yore cold to the core
The winter feels like hell it’s eating my skin raw
My Lord
I’m sitting on this mountain top
The semblance sending me scriptures in the dead of dark
I should just sit right here and count my blessings
I’ve conquered more than most men have in this equation
But still there’s a part of me that’s a little ill
That wants to burn their castles pillage their towns
Send down a plague that would wipe them from the face of mother earth
In the form of these consonants and verbs I write them
With finesse I’m the best I invite them
To become more than a song entice them
To rise up from the pages we’ll fight them
I will but still I’ll never be king

I will never be King
I will never be King
I will never be King
I will never be King

Even if I fire from my orifice words so metamorphic
Ye couldn’t afford them nobody’s that important
Vivid description of pictures giving you visions of wizards
Mythically waving my wand conjuring sacred
Inscriptions from Egyptians
Palm out hand extended
Beyond the land of living
Speaking with such conviction that time seized to exists
And the planets began to shift
And the day became the dark
And the dark became the wind
And the wind became invisible loved ones once again still

I could never be King
I would never be King
I will never be
Let the choir sing

Yo soy uno de los grandes
Pero porque soy mujer
Nadie sabe mi nombre
Nunca sera rey
