A King Is Dead

Yeah
Oh no no no no no...
Yeah
Eh eh

All I ever wanted was to make my dad proud
Now I'm outchea thinking with my thoughts loud
Reminiscing on everything he ever said
Lay him on the corner, he was laying on the bed

Seven days went by
He didn't really make it
Sister called me on the phone
Said my dad gave up
But anybody calling
Said you gotta take heart
So I had to be a man
Boy, I had to stay up

Move like Jay Z
Tryna put the hustle in
Stress on my chest
So I be sipping on benylin
Daddy, I will miss you
See you when we meet again
I'll see you when we meet again

I'll see you on the other side
Is it cold on the other side?
Is it cold on the other side?
Is it true what they say about the other side?
I don't even know where I'm from
Man, I don't even know where I'm from
Is a cold cold world
You didn't get to see what I've become
So he didn't even see what I've become
Is a cold cold world

I swear I'mma do the shit for you
I swear I'mma do the shit for you
I'mma do it till I die
I swear I'mma do the shit for you
Till I roll six feet deep
I'mma put your name on the sky

Mmmmm

All I ever wanted was to make my dad proud
Now I'm outchea thinking with my thoughts loud
Reminiscing on everything he ever said
Lay him on the corner, he was laying on the bed
Seven days went by
He didn't really make it
Sister called me on the phone
Said my dad gave up
But anybody calling
Said you gotta take heart
So I had to be a man
Boy, I had to stay up

Boy, I had to stay up
Said I got to stay up

Late night struggling, late night hustling
All I had to do was put food for my family
All I had to do was go out and get quap
Man, ain't nobody told me I'd be the man of the house
I was 21 when I lost my pop
I told my mom chill I'mma try to fill the spot
And even if I fail at least I try to swear to God
I was raised by a king - got royalty in my blood
