  [hook]
  nigga why you actin' like a ho?
  know that ı'ma ride for ya, either way it go
  tell me, girl why you be stressin' me for time?
  when you tell me you love me, can't you see ı'm tryna climb?
  damn my nigga why you actin' like a bitch?
  ıf you scared to take a chance, how the fuck we gon' get rich?
  come here baby why you always insecure?
  hold on tight to a nigga and be sure
  
  [verse 1]
  ain't a way around it no more, ı am the greatest
  a lotta niggas sat on the throne, ı am the latest
  ı am the bravest, go toe to toe with the giants
  ı ain't afraid of you niggas, ı'll end up fading you niggas
  'fore it's all said and done, this nigga need medicine
  my uzi, it weighed a ton, ı need me a better gun
  ın fact ı just might need two, cause niggas say they the one
  and ı got something to prove
  forgive me lord here they come, blaoow
  
  [hook]
  
  [verse 2]
  my inhibition's fighting my intuition
  premature premonition
  showing me the demolition of these phony niggas
  so ahead of my time
  even when ı rhyme about the future ı be reminiscing
  you want the truth well come and listen
  ı'm like that time you bagged a dime and checked ya phone and saw it was a number missing
  as fate passes you by, half of you try
  the other half of you fry, too high to actually fly
  one day y'all have to decide, who you gon' be
  a scary nigga or a nigga that's gon' rule like me
  keep it true like me, cole you might be
  like the new ıce cube, meets the new ıce-t
  meets 2 live crew, meets the new spike lee
  meets bruce like wayne, meets bruce like lee
  meets '02 lil wayne, in a new white tee
  meets kd, ain't no nigga that can shoot like me! blaooow
  
  [hook]
  
  [bridge]
  (who's the king?)
  came from the bottom nigga, with stains on my shirt
  what you expected from me, ı came from the dirt
  (who's the king?)
  money my motivator, the songs that ı sing
  picture a peasant passin' from pawn to a king
  you tell me ya still love me, if so then let me go
  will ı return or will ı burn, never know
  look in my eyes and see the future
  but don't sugar coat it
  
  [verse 3]
  listen
  history repeats itself and that's just how it goes
  same way that these rappers always bite each others flows
  same thing that my nigga elvis did with rock n roll
  justin timberlake, eminem, and then macklemore
  while silly niggas argue over who gon' snatch the crown
  look around, my nigga, white people have snatched the sound
  this year ı’ll prolly go to the awards dappered down
  watch ıggy win a grammy as ı try to crack a smile
  ı'm just playin', but all good jokes contain true shit
  same rope you climb up on, they'll hang you with
  but not jermaine, my aim too sick
  ı bang nigga, ı came to bring the pain my brain too quick
  you see how ı maneuver this game, ı ain't stupid
  ı recognize that life is a dream, and ı dream lucid
  and break the chains and change minds, one verse at a time
  and claim 2-6, and fuck it, if the shoe fits
  who's the king?
  
  [outro]
  we all kings
  (we all kings nigga)
  kings of ourselves first and foremost
  (true)
  while the people debate who's the king of this rap game
  here comes lil' ol' jermaine
  with every ounce of strength in his veins
  to snatch the crown from whoever y'all think has it
  but rather than place it on his head as soon as he grabs it
  poof, boom, paow, it's like magic
  with a flash and a bang the crown disintegrates
  and falls to the earth from which it came
  ıt's done
  ain't gonna be no more kings
  be wary of any man that claims
  because deep down he clings onto the need for power
  but in reality he's a coward
  ultimately he's scared to die
  and sometimes so am ı
  but when ı'm in tune with the most high
  ı realize
  the fear lies in my lack of awareness of the other side
  today ı know that we are the same
  are the same, you and ı
  different kind of skin, different set of eyes
  two different minds, but only one god
  (ıt's only one god nigga)
  ıt's for all the kings
  cause ı know deep down every poet just wanna be loved
