The Kings Rise by King Tu Lyrics
(Verse)
All is forgiven in the land of the sinning
We beating our women and treating our children even worse
Peeping the privilege that was given by the system to the people that's whitest on this earth
I know my mama shedded tears at my birth
Father on the line saying what should we name him first
My mama said we should name him after you
Ok, then what's his middle name gonna be
Only a name that was fit for a king
I see all the dreams that my parents had for me
I'ma make it bigger than anybody in my family
First I fell in love with boxing then football caught my heart
I was on my 3rd year and a bum took my spot
Never falling short again, then I got a growth spurt let it all begin
And then I started rapping middle school
Knew this was for me
Knew about the come up
Tripping more than DMT
See with me, I ain't ever settle for the less
I'm better than the rest
I'm repping for the west
I put it on my chest
I put it on my sleeve
You see, I'm coming from the bottom
I ain't ever had a father
Just a baby with a bottle
Seen my mama light it up
Seen my paps taken away
Seen my cousins fight it up
Seen my partners wasted everyday
But my life's brightening up
It's only gonna get better
There's more to life than worrying about the fucking cheddar
(Outro)
But we steady on the rise
Me, my homies bout to fly
Bout to make the whole world mine ye
It's gonna take some time
I ain't even gonna lie
We ain't ever gonna die nah
And we focused on the prize
Got the game in a bind
Tell me that there's more to life ye
I ain't ever slowing down
I'ma get it fucking now
I ain't ever gonna die nah
All is forgiven in the land of the sinning
We beating our women and treating our children even worse
Peeping the privilege that was given by the system to the people that's whitest on this earth
I know my mama shedded tears at my birth
Father on the line saying what should we name him first
My mama said we should name him after you
Ok, then what's his middle name gonna be
Only a name that was fit for a king
I see all the dreams that my parents had for me
I'ma make it bigger than anybody in my family
First I fell in love with boxing then football caught my heart
I was on my 3rd year and a bum took my spot
Never falling short again, then I got a growth spurt let it all begin
And then I started rapping middle school
Knew this was for me
Knew about the come up
Tripping more than DMT
See with me, I ain't ever settle for the less
I'm better than the rest
I'm repping for the west
I put it on my chest
I put it on my sleeve
You see, I'm coming from the bottom
I ain't ever had a father
Just a baby with a bottle
Seen my mama light it up

Seen my cousins fight it up
Seen my partners wasted everyday
But my life's brightening up
