Yung Pharaoh - "Dethrone (King Me)" lyrics

[Phenom/C-Mugga:] Nocturnal, feel as if I ain't slept in days n***a, need my blessings paid All alone, but I don't worry when tha threats is gave Waitin' for tha stress to fade Shine a lil' light, and I'ma probably turn tha rest to shade A free man, n***a, sorta like a reckless slave And I “think straight”, without a care if all tha rest is gay Same bad habits, causin' re-ocurring escapades Lil' like a reckless rage, me and tha pain go our separate ways Road to redemption? I think I need directions made Teachin' n***as lessons, they in 2nd grade Now woe is me Sick of spittin' all this poetry Tha realest here, u kno it's me But underground, tha lowest key U say he hot, I stole his glee Don't gotta blow a tree Cry me a river, and tell me if u can flow with me Take a better look, and everybody gonna notice me Or so to speak Ya boy focused Call me tha rap Moses In a world rendered hopeless Bitter thoughts, I cope with I never fall off, I stay afloat Give a wide berth to tha gay approach Carry baggage, like a layered coat Make these n***as stutter twice ‘Cause they ain't sharp, they bu*ter knife "Go hard" like spray starch, it's tha trademark Even in tha light, know I gotta keep tha shades dark “You know I got soul”? Just call me a brave heart Wanna kno can I receive tha storm in another form? Can I get enough to keep my mother warm? Got my head on straight, I ain't nothin' like tha Exorcist Never said I was best at this, feelin' like a pessimist [Hook-Yung Pharaoh] [Phenom/C-Mugga:] All tha pain, I try to summarize Hopin' by tha summer I'd Murder everything, be reminiscence to a samurai Beginner's luck? More like a rookies' excellence Endured ridicule, surrendered to tha downgrades Nowadays, when I stroll, nobody utters a sound wave With they minds polluted, they succumb to it List of tha real, I thumb through it For me, tha fakers is off-limits I deal with tha boss vintage Alert, & exhaust “winners” n***as retort weak, with indifference Ignorance is bliss, but everybody wanna give in Dethrone n***as, bring in all my kings' men Can u see me now? n***a, better put ya lens in My calling, finally found it Got all tha critics astounded Another black poet, I'm stubborn, I rap stoic Tha game needs change, & I'm feelin' like I owe it Turn it all around, have me actin' so heroic A lotta rap n***as are retarded, ‘cause they really are tha “slowest” Many n***as nag much, refer to them as Lois Tha world is still a seed, time to water, plant, & grow it Tha money outta reach, tryna get a grip I gotta ball, its tha only way to catapult They dethroned, we tha true heirs What do you wear? n***as softer than Pooh Bear Surrounded by s**, d**, guns, and chaos But will it pay off? Will I ever live in comfort? Or maybe end up bein' done for? n***as dodgin' 5-0, well, bravo All tha producers, they aware of how to bid So tell me we ain't talented Definin' what a novice is Phenom
