"Call Me King [Mark II]"
Verse 1:
Call me king, but don't call me later
Call me great, but don't call for paper
Acknowledge me 'cause my bars are greater
You'll never call my bluff, so call ya maker
Legend in the making, shit I been made
Got me talkin' shit like I been paid
I don't need ya help, shit, I been straight
I'ma get it all one of these - days
Folk nowadays contradict like dichotomy
Pay them no mind, they just in the menagerie
Mind's on my pockets an' waterfront property
No time for niggaz - throwin' blank shots at me
Beggin' for handouts like money just digitate
How many sips of that dirty sprite did ya take?
No, I ain't wealthy, when I do get it straight
Won't see a penny of mine or a dinner plate
Couple things I gotta reiterate
Solidify facts, folks be on my case
Niggaz lie to ya face, actin' like they ya dog
But they creepin' thru the smog wit' knives ready to draw
Snake shit, more drama than "Port Charles"
Miscellaneous files, hard to sort it all
Kent Brockman-type niggaz be foul, report it all
But I never lose sight of my goal; this is for y'all
An' yeah, it's takin' awhile, still applaud
'Cause I'm never on my last leg, keep it raw
When brought to the brink, kick it into overdrive
My drive to compete is the hope that overrides
Swallowin' my pride, never fold, double-down
Stickin' to my goals, never fuck around
Folks try to tear me down, but I rise from the ash
Call me king, just never call for the cash
Hook(x1):
All y'all better stay up out of my ear wit' that fake shit
All y'all better get the fuck on out of here wit' that hate shit
I know y'all in the background, just prayin' I don't make it
That's why I stay on my P's an' Q's, 'cause a nigga meant for greatness
Uhn, it's me an' my niggaz for life, it's me an' my bitch for life
Uhn, it's only one life to live, so a nigga gotta get it right
Uhn, it's me an' my niggaz for life, it's me an' my bitch for life
Uhn, it's only one life to live, so I rock that crown for tonight
(Call me king!)
Verse 2:
Thank you, for all the hate an' the laughter
Every jab, every pie to the face; you made a cold bastard
An' if you jeered in the rafters
Thank you for pushin' me to achieve my ever after
On some Drake shit, thanks for those true colors
Revealed what was true of us
From what I knew of us, made it easier to push the button
Bygones - ain't even worth discussin'
I'm a force to be reckoned wit', you beckoned it
Now I'm about to show you all how I really get down
Mixtape shit, still buildin' my sound
So far the followers of my faith buildin' my town
Feelin' me now? Do this for my future seeds
An' to get me an' Momz back where we used to be
I miss goin' on sprees at the mall
Truthfully, she deserves it all
One day, I'ma fly her out to Switzerland
That's why I'm 'bout to go hard for these riches, man
Life done had me royally fucked up
For far too long, too many gongs
Now my head ringin' wit' the chimes of a king
Speak into bein' every line that I sing
Deprived too long, now I'm pinin' for bling
The throne in my sights, man, it's shinin' for me
Hook(x1)
