Born to Reign

(Will Smith talking) I believe in God I believe in destiny Not destiny in the sense of all of our actions being pre-determined But destiny in the sense, of our ability to choose Our ability to choose, who we are and who we're supposed to be (Will Smith rapping) Yo, yo, yo, yo, I was born to reign Point blank my name, to be etched in stone, destiny pre-ordained Tryin' to live righteous, fighting for life This my life, and that's why I go lite on my vices Tighten the vices of truth, on the ruthless This rhyme and the crime is they minds is just useless The path of the poison, the Genesis of the genocide You and your boys, tryin' to decide What to write, but your pen is a sword And the blade has been forged, young minds gettin' gorged States have been altered, by liquor, by weed And then hate gets exalted, as art falls to greed Choices is made, as the voices is laid On the track, contract, ya souls the wage, sold ya wage Did you see his new Benz, but your mic a syringe Now you proud of your binge, gotta lot of new friends, gotta lot of new ends Bought a house up in the hills fronting shouts to the pen Giving false accounts, of your accounts amounts Amounts of fans treason, stands to reason Since your inception, laced with deception And bred false affection, it must parish From a terrace, I see the fire burning the streets But I won't shield my eyes to the heat Born to Reign Oooooooooh I was Born to Reign Oooooooooh I was Born to Reign
