[00:01.190]Here to stay
[00:03.540]Even when I'm gone
[00:06.470]When I close my eyes
[00:09.600]Through the passage of time
[00:13.600]Kings never die
[00:26.200]I can hear the drummer drumming
[00:27.560]And the trumpets, someone's tryna summon someone, I know somethin's coming
[00:30.700]But I'm runnin' from it to be standing at the summit
[00:32.760]And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was
[00:33.790]Was it, too good to be true?
[00:36.250]Have nothin', get it all but too much of it
[00:38.300]Then lose it again, did I swallow hallucinogens
[00:39.250]Cause if not, where the hell did it go?
[00:42.310]Cause here I sit in Lucifer's den by the dutch oven
[00:43.440]Just choosing to sin
[00:44.740]Even if it means I'm sellin' my soul, just to be the undisputed again
[00:46.480]Do whatever I gotta do just to win
[00:49.490]Cause I got this ************' cloud over my head
[00:51.500]Crown around it, thorns on it
[00:53.180]Cracks in it, bet you morons didn't think I'd be back, did ya?
[00:56.660]How 'bout that, I'm somehow now back to the underdog
[00:58.360]But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is somethin' I never bow-out at
[01:03.340]I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate
[01:06.090]But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt
[01:08.820]Even when you ******* are countin' me out, and I appear to be down for the count
[01:11.980]Only time I ever been out and about
[01:14.440]Is drivin' around town with my ******' whereabouts in a doubt
[01:15.610]Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter
[01:19.030]Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up
[01:20.900]Spit on, **** on, stepped on, but kept goin'
[01:22.840]I'm tryna be headstrong but it feels like I slept on my neck wrong
[01:25.640]Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?
[01:27.880]Cause someone told me that
[01:29.040](Kings never die)
[01:38.440]Don't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir
[01:40.630]You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep
[01:43.060]Nobody ever handed me **** in life, not even a flyer
[01:45.990]Wouldn't even take **** into consideration
[01:47.990]Obliterate anyone in the way
[01:49.580]I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to show out on a track with me
[01:52.320]But it'd actually have to be a ******' blow-out to get me to re-tire
[01:58.280]Tell these new artists that kings never die
[02:00.340]Did it just say I've been upstaged?
[02:04.520]Why am I online? It's driving me crazy
[02:05.130]I'm ridin' shotgun tryna get a gauge
[02:05.840]On what's hot, but I'm not one to conform
[02:06.860]But as days pass in this ****
[02:08.340]And opinions sway, I can hear 'em say
[02:09.600]If I stay passionate maybe I can stage a miraculous
[02:12.510]Comeback as if I went away
[02:13.860]But detractors just say so much for the Renegade
[02:16.000]Someone's gonna make me blow my composure
[02:16.960]Here I go again, center stage and I feel like I'm in a cage
[02:22.340]They so want a champion to fall
[02:23.960]It's no wonder why I laugh at 'em, cause why can't we win 'em all?
[02:25.780]So **** what these cynics say
[02:27.370](It) just goes ta show that when my back's against the wall
[02:30.090]And I'm under a tack again, that I'll act as if I'm 'posed ta
[02:31.590]With this pent up rage, cause all these plaques in my office
[02:34.300]On the floor stacked against the door
[02:37.450]Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin' back again?
[02:40.500]Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards
[02:44.740]And trophies just don't mean jack anymore
[02:45.860]If I'm here today and gone tomorrow
[02:46.800]And I'm not gonna be
[02:47.800]Here to stay
[02:49.770]Even when I'm gone
[02:52.890]When I close my eyes
[02:55.580]Through the passage of time
[02:59.490]Kings never die
[03:02.920]I want it, I'm comin' to get it
[03:03.730]So you son of a ******* don't duck you're gonna get ******* Bowe'd
[03:04.440]Critics'll end up in critical, think your **** is **** all you're gonna get is smoked
[03:07.480]And I'm not stopping 'til I'm on top again, all alone and on a throne
[03:07.940]Like a token of respect, or a homage poem, or an ode I've been owed
[03:11.570]Tossed in the air by my own arm, and launched so hard it broke my collarbone
[03:14.800]And when it's my time to go, I'm still not leaving
[03:18.280]Stop for no one, I don't know but I've been told an obstacle that
[03:25.000]Blocks your road, knock it over, time to go for that pot of gold, cause
[03:25.870]They say kings never die
[03:26.480]Just ask Jam Master Jay
[03:28.000]They just grow wings and they fly
[03:29.220]So, hands up, reach for the sky
[03:30.650]Try to hold and prolong these moments
[03:33.330]Cause in a blink of an eye
[03:34.840]They'll be over
[03:37.380]Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur
[03:38.470]And ensure nobody's ever gonna be what you were
[03:41.180]So before you're leavin' this Earth
[03:42.820]You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk
[03:44.750]Deacon of words, syllable genius at work
[03:47.400]Plus I'm thinkin' that they're mistakin' my kindness for weakness, kill 'em with meanness
[03:49.610]I went from powdered milk and Farina
[03:51.270]To flippin' burgers on the grill for some peanuts
[03:52.780]From Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers
[03:55.270]I made it to the silverscreen but Rocky's still what the theme is
[03:57.710]Khalil on the beat cause makin' the beat ain't the same feelin' to me as killin' the beat is
[04:00.320]Or fulfillin' to me is what fillin' a seat is
[04:01.040]It's that "Sound Bombing" Thirstin' Howl
[04:04.370]Common, underground, Diamond D, Outsidaz
[04:05.330]Stomach growl, throbbin' hunger, out-rhymin' everyone
[04:06.770]God just give me one shot, I swear that I won't let you down
[04:11.640]I'ma be around forever-and-a-day, even in the ground
[04:14.580]You ain't never ever gonna hear 'em say I ain't
[04:16.100]Here to stay
[04:18.100]Even when I'm gone
[04:21.180]When I close my eyes
[04:24.170]Through the passage of time
[04:28.460]Kings never die
