Craig Balmoris - Long Live the Chief lyrics

[Hook] n***as fighting over rings n***as wanna be the King, but Long Live the Chief For a li' ol' thang lil' boys bang bang Long Live the Chief n***as fighting over rings n***as wanna be the king, but Long Live the Chief Yeah watch pretty mama while I slang my cane Long Live the Chief Uh [Verse] co*kroaches and the rat sh** Hand me downs with the patches Mama put a little money in the mattress Taught me how to make a silver spoon out of plastic You can either sink, swim or be the captain Get the last word I'mma get the last laugh in Now they say "Jidenna why you dressing so cla**ic?" I don't want my best dressed day in a casket You can either lead, follow or get out the way Make a f**in' move it would make my f**in' day Got a 100 year plan you jus' think about today Always been about time more than been about pay Can't rump with me Usain couldn't run with me Chief come to find you You don't come for me At best you can run a lil' company n***a at worst, I could run the whole country That's right - pimp game like a brothel That's why - I don't judge a n***a's hustle I Airbnb the crib like a hostel Summer rate cheaper 'cause the streets get hostile Shaka boy, this fire from Mojave boy So no I won't record for your homie boy I turn the party out like a naughty toy Then I go and hide in plain sight like a lobby boy Yessuh, that's Jidenna on the banner Ridin' for my n***as gettin' locked up in the slammer Elders saying everything's a nail to a hammer And n***as can't spell but we know our Instagrammar Well done's better than well said I read n***as well, a n***a well read Really I ain't met nobody smarter That's why I got admitted but I still rejected Harvard I'm the fresh prince, in a school where they couldn't read Mama put me in a school with the Kennedys When I met Bill Clinton I was seventeen But dead presidents is all my n***as need Dining with the governor's daughter And her father say I remind him of Obama I'm the chief diplomat...every day And I'm black and white...Janelle Monae [Hook] n***as fighting over rings n***as wanna be the King, but Long Live the Chief For a li' ol' thang lil' boys bang bang Long Live the Chief n***as fighting over rings n***as wanna be the king, but Long Live the Chief Now watch pretty mama while I slang my cane Long Live the Chief
