Dres - Tru Kings слова песни
Yo, I don`t remember the date as I was just an adolescentI played with animals growing up on a fertile crescentAnd I be the eldest of the king of the landNow understand my father`s the original son of manAnd I know each that be and everybody knows meI live diseased, in poverty plus I`m still living freeSaid I can read (plus) write (got) bitches beyond sightBut my main aim to architect my peoples` delightTill the return of men, my father said we`re off thenI think they killed him, see, I never saw him againAs I was took with other men and women on a courseAgainst our will to a land I put more work than a horseOf course called slave, beat my tongue into a graveAnd gave me all I got, and that`s my culture to save>From ourselves, though the seed was planted by EbenezerIf I die rest my body in the tombs of Giza, it`s true kings[Chorus x2]Get pleasure from people and not thingsLove to live life and the life love bringsMove the whole mass with strength not fearMen amongst men, you could never compareTo be a king hallowed, followed till I walk like a storkI sweep the floor of the poor, see life is more than a choreGot to watch my own back, you see it`s all that I gotTo be king without assurance but the nerve to get shotYou see to be but not to be, that is the danger in angerWe see and don`t agree but treat our own like a strangerNow a king can bring an end to this brutal attackSay you don`t have to agree but, yo, I got to be blackTo be black it`s like a labyrinth plus it`s deep as a wellBut to be king is to rise when people knew they could failI try my best to break the tape and be the one you get withWhen I`m going I flow with the fluidness of liquidStill adversity tries to bring out the worst in meAs we first to die live amongst the worst conceitSome would do otherwise, said it simple as I can beA wise man, king in the words of I Am, true kings[Chorus]Nowadays I pull deep and hear the crackling of the fireOn my phil`, indeed by the first seed shot my thoughts buildLike the depths of my mind could run a ballpoint dryLight flashes before the lashes of my inner mind`s eye, to dieOr live remanded, how they got us branded with they jokesThey said Leval was the giggler [???]I hope the light mist them like the sun miss tonightAll my mans is gone for long ass stretches of sightIt ain`t right or what we found, just ChinatownYo, we supposed to own it, sometimes I speak upon itTo say we should have known it, specially since we`re on weightI sit with Lord Cee, Ol` Felon and Shorty BlackTwice as far ahead after we all look backFeeling strong, I been looking at this world go wrongAll along, only now I could have written this songSo feel the shrill in my tone, I`ll rock your ass to the boneBut step up, black man, gotta step up, black manYou gotta step up, black man, please step up, black manYo, please step up, black man, it`s time to step up, black manStep up, black man and take your place on the throne as true kings[Chorus]Check it now, this be like a callingNot just to myself, and every black manBut especially to myself and every black manTalking over here, talking over there, everywhere
