Frank Drake - Kings & Queens lyrics

[Verse 1] Lit incense and lit incentives I've never paid attention this intensive For all intensive purposes I've been a perching, penny-pinching With a pen and pencil penching being pensive Trying to figure out the ways of the world How to maneuver Through the rats and the sewers Bullcrap and manure Napoleon Hill complex more the mighty medulla Manifesting many thoughts getting set in stone like Medusa God damn I've been making something structured out of nothing Making souls out of substance Making songs out of suffering Suffering succotash, I done set a task of abundance Making bundles of these ballads You bumping for ma** consumption Basking in thrills, masking my evils and ills Practicing people sk**s just to pa** to my negus That's how a leader do So before you go home and believe the TV About how you should see your people Just know who's speaking the truth God damn [Hook] They're all throwing dirt on my name lately They all threw some salt on our game They all tried to get us to change lately They all said we couldn't be kings I'm a king now You's a queen He's a king now She's a queen [Verse 2] My negus getting patted by policemen Turn around and organize a rally at the precinct Like Mr. Mayor, why your workers treating us indecent? With all my tax dollars blown, it's going off the deep end Cats working 9 to 5 and then from 9 to 5 they creepin' Trying to survive the trying times With honest work and Mama grieving All this cancer-causing meat And negus can't afford the treatment Baby daughter's womb is barren from a bad aborted fetus My negus, my negus Sing loyalty allegiance Bunch of prodigies that's mobbing deep This havok we been wreaking If there's cops up in our block, use a watch word to reach us If you get locked up on Friday, you can say goodbye to weekend My negus, my negus Don't ever let them play you out filthy The same way them so-called journalists call us thugs In the national newspaper without being found guilty If ya'll bringing me down, ya'll are going down with me Amen [Hook] They're all throwing dirt on my name lately They all threw some salt on our game They all tried to get us to change lately They all said we couldn't be kings I'm a king now You's a queen He's a king now She's a queen [Bridge] I believe we can fly But we're too busy running I believe we can hide Cause the future keeps coming I believe we can fly I believe we can soar Though I call us all kings I believe we're much more I believe we can fly [Hook] They're all throwing dirt on my name lately They all threw some salt on our game They all tried to get us to change lately They all said we couldn't be kings I'm a king now You's a queen He's a king now She's a queen [Cla** Skit] [Outro] I could walk outside now and get sh-(gunshot)
