KING DAVID Lyrics

Gotta tell all my ancestors I feel like I'm King David

So my roots is like the Old Testament

So excellent, black excellence

Black artwork, black president

Bad precedent, black prophet

Like Black Mogul no got prescience

Seen it coming, I see the future

I manifest it, I got confessions

From adolescence, knew I was special

Knew I was different, so pay attention

Five years old, I seen the tension

Didn't need a message, mama knows that I saved her life

Don't need a question, don't need a sentence

I learned a lesson, I need the power

Another man put hands on her

I'll bring the flowers like none of my threats ever idle

I'm God's disciple, don't try and test me

Struck down with lightning, I'm all for fighting

I'm all for protests, but not for dying

Read Robert Greene, and art of war

My heart is pure, I'm not for lying

But if I die inside these streets

Turn on the news, my mama crying

Then what was me and mama fighting

These hustler ethics, you should pay attention

Respect the victim, I respect the shooter

Like Malcolm X, meet Martin Luther

Like Sean Carter meeting Mandela

I start a riot that's rather quiet

I speak to kids inside the classroom, I will inspire

Tell the truth in holy choir

Start enterprises for revolution, build institutions

Don't topple governments with no solutions

Write think pieces that seem facetious

This is my thesis, I will complete this

They never seen this, a black man look presidential

In Jesus' pieces, got MDAs and NDAs

Dressed like I'm in the NBA

I'm in the gym like every day

Turn on the news, seen my nigga

In a suit, almost catch a stray

But if that bullet go and stick

Wonder who would really be at the grave

Maybe loads at first, then as time passes

They all start to just fade away

We've been taught to die, like for the cause

But truth be told, I'd rather stay

Saved mama's life, and she saved mine

So now we got that debt for life

Both cheated death like more than twice

So now I'm on my second life

Lazarus
