Kingship

[Intro: DJ Premier]

Check, one-two

DJ Premier, Rapsody, 9th Wonder

Here we, here we go

[Verse 1]

Uh, in the presence of kingship

Washed all my demons in the dark where the fiends trip

Looking at ravines dream, shallow as these is

If we ain't talking about flying then we wingless

Landed there in the city where Diddy danced, I couldn't chance

Not in advance like priest nuns had fatal accidents

On a higher plane, I feel estranged from normal shit

Tap me on my shoulder, I told her, you just too normal, bitch

I recollect in every word they regretting

Trying to conjure every presence, became a king from a peasant

But Nas to Jay had to slay the same in his presence

Your gift like intelligence, use it just like a weapon, shit

Cause fuck second, nigga, I'm out for uno

A minute in, I killed it, and fuck it, I still got two mo'

I'm like that new coat, you show off

In the wrong season when the coat off

Sweating me, I'm that new Hoss

Polo button, no fronting, I ride for something

Stunting in the quarters where niggas rap before daughters, Hova

It's so over when rap Premier in the rap premiere

She got game, motherfucker, that's flava in ya ear

Biggie sized, my mac on track, you niggas slapped

Couldn't circle floor if you float inside of a culdesac

Yeah, that's the end to your winning streak

Word to Preemo, I pray Chicago, put down the heat

Uh, Chicago, almost put down the Heat

But never made it to the Finals, that's your same defeat

Uh, they call me R to the A-P

And that's Preem on the beat, shouts to MC

[Hook: Sampling]

There it is

There it is

Sometimes I feel like this rap shit is heaven-sent

About to lay it down for these motherfuckers

[Verse 2]

Yo, from King Arthur to King Carter, the queen bought her

Royalty, loyalty, never deserted like Botswana, middle trauma

Decipher how I was penning

I'm pinning you resenting everything like the kingsmen

The beat stall like I walk, I'm so used to winning

This time, I told niggas my rhymes is like the menace

Society sobriety, fuck it, just overdosing it

Wade in the flow and they follow me coast to coast with it

They like "shit, nigga, fuck you gone do next?"

Tripping cause I triple like triplets, the growth apex

A text told me "you solely could be the one"

I replied like "you cried at night in silence"

Never speak on it

Beast on it everytime I breathe on it

They mourning, yeah, I killed it

They dormant, still I'm building

Like convertibles, never forced to add a ceiling

Keep my mind open, I stay awoke and I'm never slippin'

I'm never Pippen, bull-headed when it come to rap

Only way I know to be in circle where the kings is at

They say the queens is back, young Black Elizabeth

Preem on the beat, nigga rap, I'm still killing it

[Hook]
