Be a King

Yeah
Hey everybody
My name is E-Dubble
Their name is PJ Harvey
Let's go
Mama told me-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Yeah, Black Paisley
My mama told me-eh-eh-eh uh-huh
Yuh, yuh, come on

My mama told me
One day imma blow up big
And imma be a king
And my papa told me
It's ok to say when shit hurts
Don't forget your dreams
'Cause they'll get you through this
So called life they call living but I call it strange
And I bet I'll do it
'Cause I'm on my way
And strong enough that I can shake the pain Yeah

Ayy, Mr Sunshine, Mr Rainstorm
Meet me in the conference room we need to brainstorm
Need some middle ground, need an even keel
But you're at war picking sides give me fever chills
Take 'em both like my flu shot broke
I need the give and take to keep me out of that mope
My head above water thoughts to those lost this week
Call this tragedy say on repeat
Like we can't shake shit
I can't speak on it
Fist to the sky but I can't beat on it
Drink in my cup so I'm gon' sip on 'em
Cam Newts probably pissed, you can't stiff arm him
All these levels of these relative problems
And benevolence is elegance for those who can solve 'em
I'm feelin' pretty low like I'm stuck at the bottom
But I know I'll rebound like the Bulls with Rodman
I am, just exactly what I will be
Just a guy who can rhyme and chop ill beats
One day I'll recover from what ails me
Til then I'm on that, fuck what the sales be

My mama told me
One day imma blow up big
And imma be a king
And my papa told me
It's ok to say when shit hurts
Don't forget your dreams
'Cause they'll get you through this
So called life they call living but I call it strange
And I bet I'll do it
'Cause I'm on my way
And strong enough that I can shake the pain

Yeah, they talk about death
We try'na live life while their signal says left
But they really going right
But who cares they got nothing to improve upon
Meanwhile we pass them, fast lane, Rubicon
Uh, so let the shit storm rang in
They try to dap us up but we just leave 'em hangin'
Yeah, so let 'em catch up with the language
They can talk shit but you know that we can manage
Ergh, they say we tired of the metaphors
They are only pissed that they never really ready for 'em
Uh, so go ahead and get ready for 'em
Pop another bottle 'cause you're gonna need a steady arm
Uh, it's like we're livin' in a Tron game
Lines are all blurred 'cause we sippin' on the Bombay
Uh, John Stock versus LeBron James
No competition when you factor in the time change
Babe Ruth sucks, fuck what the books say
I could strike him out with three pitches in an arm sling
Yeah, and we can do anything
Mama said it's true and I put that on everything

My mama told me
One day imma blow up big
And imma be a king
And my papa told me
It's ok to say when shit hurts
Don't forget your dreams
'Cause they'll get you through this
So called life they call living but I call it strange
And I bet I'll do it
'Cause I'm on my way
And strong enough that I can shake the pain

We don't ask for the doors to close in this life
So we hopin', they keep 'em open
And if they shut those doors we smash the skylight
Til it's broken, and smell the roses
Need to take that time to find our own road
So we focussed, on what's golden
And our gold don't shine it's not from no mine
So we're not just living for a token

My-my-my-my mama told me
One day imma blow up big
And imma be a king
And my papa told me
It's ok to say when shit hurts
Don't forget your dreams
'Cause they'll get you through this
So called life they call living but I call it strange
And I bet I'll do it
'Cause I'm on my way
And strong enough that I can shake the pain

My-my-my-my mama told me
One day imma blow up big
And imma be a king
And my papa told me
It's ok to say when shit hurts
Don't forget your dreams
'Cause they'll get you through this
So called life they call living but I call it strange
And I bet I'll do it
'Cause I'm on my way
And strong enough that I can shake the pain
