Men hyɛda nhu, but asɛm no nie Verse 1 The emperor e no get no clothes on Bought himself a cloud nine, that's what he floats on Ego be ein medicine, gets his daily dose on Too far gone to know what dey gon on Fine women fine linen, chale that's a given The motto be 'forget dem' who are we kidding Stone cold prison sponsored by myopia Slogan of the century must be yentie obiaa The people no get bread Then for petes sake let them eat cake My big statue reminds them we are too great What i for do bout the hullaboloo and the much ado Biggest palanquin you ever seen, i am breaking news Chorus (Paapa) Have you ever seen a king Who was not a man? Have you ever seen a statue Giving out commands? Tell Ozymandias Every man dies (the heart can't believe what the eyes cannot see) Verse 2 I'm not a tyrant i'm a father figure so go figure When i'm gone my fame and name will forever grow figure I ain't no ordinary n***a, the H.N.I.C you see (the heart can't believe what the eyes cannot see) You dey bench i'm the skipper You newspaper, i'm the scripture Levels dey between a palm wine tapper and a champagne sipper I can never even imagine that my lights will ever flicker Shadow boxing with my legacy off course i emerge victor I'm Van Gogh, Victor, can you see I paint a picture? I'm Stalin tell the comrades I'm the peoples darling I'm Roosevelt of course you felt i'm that new deal Idi Amin nah mean? Don't care how your crew feel I'm too real, indelible Tombstone reads incredible I built me a pedestal A pro amongst professionals King of kings, the great great When I'm gone, the late great Kukurudu, the earth quakes None will ever take my place Chorus (Paapa) Have you ever seen a king Who was not a man?

Have you ever seen a statue Giving out commands? Tell Ozymandias Every man dies
