The Testimony of King Nebuchadnezzar ft. Ben's Xpresso Lyrics

I can't remember what I was doing that night

Perhaps I was with one of my Babylonian concubines

Doing sinful stuff singers sing about

In them secular songs you find

Or pronouncing decrees sharper than quills of porcupines

Dig into my past and many a corpse you'll mine

So after a day in the life of being the boss of Babylonia

I had to rest

You have to understand

Constantly upholding my heavy head of gold gets tiring

And you might think that king NebuchadneZeeee never catches Zs

But even kings need sleep

And so I passed out like a light

But that was an unusual type of night

Nigtmare turned on my fight or flight

Prophecy about a tall tree that would indict my height

And tell me that I needed to be chopped down

Needed to unlock this mystery

So I received a delivery from a Christian G named Mr D

Telling me that I was gonna lose my mind

And become a buffoon in time

But this message was just too tough to grasp

So I took the prophecy, puffed and passed

The power I have is enough to last

I enjoy the bottoms of my feet being tickled by the blades

So don't you dare cut the grass

But sure enough

The prophecy from this strange Jew came true

And made me a changed dude

And even though the truth I couldn't handle

My mind malfunctioned, making me move like a mammal

And I no longer walked on twos in my sandals

I became an animal like a baboon or a camel

And all that to sober up a king drunk with power

And to make this dirty boy jump in showers

This tall tree had its stump devoured

And out of its ruin grew the humblest flower

Who now sees that gigantic trees can be chopped down

By mere kitchen knives of the kingdom

That skyscrapers built over decades can be demolished in a moment

By a simple push from the hands of Heaven

That the privileged and powerful

Can be pulverized by the Prince of Peace's Pinky Finger

And that a proud king can be humbled before the Most High

These bellies of bronze and thighs of iron

Their devilish bonds turn eyes from Zion

And you've got these chests of silver puffing their chests

Kings at the top who are hugging the crest

Proud lions who are hungry to flex

If humility is East these Kanye-like kings are stuck in the West

But even kings of north and south he forced them out

He's the Rock who decapitates heads of gold and heads of states

Creator of time so He's never late

And all nations should bow and celebrate

Cause no one is as legendary as the LORD

Not even Alexander the Great, the GOAT, get it? the Goat

Not even DaBaby or DaBabylonians

Not even Jay Z can be juxtaposed next to Jay HOV ah

Dribbled with dominance all my life, I've only scored shame

I am a mere droplet while He pours rain

His rich rule has always been worth more than my poor reign

So now a king like me sees that the LORD reigns

I Nebuchadnezzar built a great empire

He built a greater universe

Hanging gardens of Babylon ain't got nothing on the stars

Hanging throughout the night sky

Being the boss of Babylon is brittle

Compared to being the king of the cosmos

Even Marvel's guardians would have to give way to the God of the galaxy

And see

While Pharoahs and fuhrers like me focus on flexing

The Father of forever is fixated on His children resting

I've seen him intervene between between flames and flesh

And the only thing burning

Is the hope He kept alive

In the hearts of oppressed exiles

Yearning to go back home

So hear my story

And let's relish Him together

A king who was the devil's trend setter

Shows that rebels get better

I'm a new Nebuchadnezzar

Cause the Most High never said never

And therefore

I'll cherish Him forever

The LORD reigns
