KINGDOM

[Dilla] Kingdom with the Sinisters Court Jesters and the Warriors Sorcerers and Peasants Entertain the Queens and Royal Ministers Crown the King the same night Moonlight said it ain’t right Bringing switchblades to a gunfight His mind wandered when the sun set City feelin like a prison on an island or a military complex Same horizons, different chemistry Girl called but he let it be Phone crying like an enemy So he let it breathe sayin Kingdom with the Sinisters Kingdom with Kingdom with, Kingdom with the Sinisters Queens and Royal Ministers Crown the King the same night Moonlight said it ain’t right Bringing switchblades to a gunfight Baby I ain’t going to another city less the money twice as good But you’ll prolly blow Why’nt go and try to spit the shit twice as hood Get yourself racks on plaques Valentino with a black Maybach Drug money like that ’03 trap OGs with a OG past Now it’s NY so I’m old school never done that new hop shit And they got these new cops with these new Glocks that’ll go bruise that shit Nixon went and got a new block snitch. Where he at? Too Late When I fly wanna really fly Wanna Clark Kent not Bruce Wayne What you gon do when you squeeze And your clip gone and your bullets end? Maybe go check the bulletin Took my pencil put the bullets in In the temple got some bullet friends That’ll go past where your bullet ends That’s your cortex, cerebral, that’s lethal Yo I know we don’t got the same mind Or the same weapons. But yo We sippin the same shit, you know Coming from the same grains. Same strain Same strain as Adam, Same atoms Just rearranged differently Never tryna get the money if they gonna fire bullets cause I whip like this Moving too quick on the highway so I’m gon coast with a hit And I curve minds with the force What that rhyme with? Of course West 4th never really played ball But I stilI went and rhymed by the courts Let my mind run its course, runnin like Usain Joyner, pointers from DMC and Jam Master Or 5 and the Grandmaster So I spit the shit then pray after Rather be Midas than King James Downtown never mid-range More Samuel than Ving Rhames Paint drip on the new pave Meant that we was going too fast So I hit the pedal for some new gas Flipped the dough for some new masks But I’m still Dilla glad you asked Tryna keep up in that new shit Go ahead homie you gassed It’s no longer exciting Less you make em hear the sound of science Sound of atoms, sound of silence and the sound of lightning Crowd is hyping with tomfoolers and shaky shooters Expired hookers, tired spitters, defeated rulers I wanna be the greatest Not whatever my fate is My latest ventures can’t calm the temper Unless the battle is won Tell me is you Vader, Anakin’s son? You kill the tyrant ever wonder what the shooter becomes? Begun my journey in the sewer where the Rats don’t sleep, back on beat Knocked down but we back on feet 84 put the wax on me Couple years and the past gone see Everything that your pastors see Talkin shit about how I lean, how I beam You ain’t no god ain’t no Nas ain’t no prophet you ain’t Ali Process ain’t fine by me Egos is get broken, your planets ain’t got a motion Your rhyme never had a moment Split bombs like I split quotients, split bombs like I split oceans See I Been a idol since my pops was prayin idols Hella cash so I finna sign a doc before I sign a bridal Hella cash so I dodge the war to fight the title But this Manhattan man we drop the bomb that spark the tidal Kingdom with the Sinisters Court Jesters and the Warriors Sorcerers and Peasants Entertain the Queens and Royal Ministers Crown the King the same night Moonlight said it ain’t right Bringing switchblades to a gunfight
