Kings

Am   Bm    F
              (Kings)
Em
Em
Oh    Marco
Am   Bm      C
        It's crazy
Am   Bm             F
       Where them crowns at? (Kings)

[Verse 1]
             Em
I'm from the V-I-Double-L-E, like 
M.O.P
Where cats walk around like, "Him or
 me?"
           Em
Art of survival, tryin' to calculate
 the heart of a rival
Understand like part of the bible, 
this a revelation
Am                 Bm            
   They say niggas never learn, 
           C
this an education
Since Malcolm and Martin we've been 
marchin' for a better nation
Am               Bm              
   Is this a big meltin' pot, or 
           F
is it seperation?
I'm breakin' bread with the tribes, 
         Em
no reservations
Yo, we gotta make it as a federation
Are we livin' together, or is it 
      Em
segregation?
Jim Crow laws hem no flaws
I'm tryin' to run it up like ten 
more scores
              Am                  
The chain of command, analyze the 
Bm             C
brain of a man
That understands the shame and the 
pain of a fan
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
                  Am           
They can't comprehend all these 
  Bm                 F
songs he's hearin' now
And can't understand what these 
                 Em
dudes is wearin' now
But think back when we was young, 
'bout the same age
Our parents, they looked at us in 
           Em
them same ways
We was playin' DMC and Fat Boys 
(Fat)
And they was sayin' to us, "Turn off
 that noise"
Am                   Bm          
   Told us, we gotta listen to 
         C
some real music
Earth, Wind and Fire, somethin' you 
can feel music
Am                    Bm         
  From where I stand,     it's 
         F
like the view is panoramic
When my retirement is announced, the
         Em
 fans'll panic
'Cause that's one less soldier in 
the greatest fight
The love is heavy in my heart and 
              Em
the hate is light
Then every other summer an 
up-and-comer
Thinks he can jump right in my shoes
 if he plays his right
Am                      Bm       
(Kings)But these are Mutumbo-size
              C
 in my humble eyes
And this is no small feat for these 
mumble guys
Am                     Bm        
    Man, you know the drill like 
       F
a cavity
Comprehend the gravity of my 
       Em
savagery
I'm so underrated, it's a travisty
Where's the praise and the raise in 
       Em
my salary?
Got a wife held up by life to marry 
me
We dress to impress and get fresh 
like Barry B
Am      Bm            C
    Yo,    you would think we on a 
date night
It's hard to get in, you won't 
believe what the wait's like
Am               Bm           F
    We tryin' to see what it taste 
like
But it's hard to fit in, you won't 
believe what the hate's like
Em
   The game of life's full of crazy 
things
It's so intense, makes no sense like
 baby rings
Em
    Until the overweight lady sings
We'll leave you this body of work 
'til they say we kings
Am      Bm                      C
(Kings) Yeah, 'til they say we kings
