King to Me

[Verse 1] Yeah, okay, the man who showed me how to fight The same one who took the training wheels off of my bike The one I swerved and almost crashed into the neighbor's car You screamed so loud at me that I fell over the handle bars And I was scared to make you mad You were scared that God was 'bout to take away, like, everything you had What's weird, that certain memories you never forget I mean, especially the ones that made you upset Course you know those times we both would regret When you and mom were fighting, I would go and bury my head And with a pillow case on it, I could maybe pretend I'd make it all go away But after, the only thing that's broken was plates I know I made my mistakes, I didn't always behave Slipping out of the house and lying straight to your face That shit was never okay The least I'll do is show you respect But I can never pay back the debt [Chorus] When you get down, someone's gonna steal your crown But you'll always be a king to me, and a family Cause you showed me how, showed me how to be a man And always had a plan for me, a family [Verse 2] And when my little brother came, he told me you always keep him safe Cause ain't no one closer in the world that you could replace So that there will be a day when it's just you and him alone You need to know that I can treat him okay Don't wanna think about things in that way But just know that I understand it It's me and him against the fucking planet Playing Madden, I let him be his own man Up in college, even when my music shit start expanding I know you're proud to be a parent Yeah, we talk a lot, that shit apparent Sometimes it's all good, sometimes it's about Taryn Either way, you listen to my shit Always lend a ear for me Said you work two jobs, 365 a year for me Now I'm growing up and that shit became so clear to me Told me that the only thing in life I need to fear is me Well, the least I'll do is show you respect But I can never pay back the debt [Chorus] When you get down, someone's gonna steal your crown But you'll always be a king to me, and a family Cause you showed me how, showed me how to be a man And always had a plan for me, a family [Bridge] When you get down, I'm gon' lift you up right now When you get down, I'm gon' lift you up right now When you get down, I'm gon' lift you up right now When you get down, it's still gon' be the same [Chorus] When you get down, someone's gonna steal your crown But you'll always be a king to me, and a family Cause you showed me how, showed me how to be a man And always had a plan for me, a family When you get down, someone's gonna steal your crown But you'll always be a king to me, and a family Cause you showed me how, showed me how to be a man And always had a plan for me, a family
