King Kong
Destorm Power Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's me on top of the world
I am King Kong, drop the gate
I hear the chariot coming today
I am King Kong
I'm King Kong
I'm King Kong
I'm King Kong
I'm King Kong, beat my fisting chest
I don't feel the pressure, show the world the best
I endure the pain, let the gorillas out
Ignore the chains, now all my niggas out
Thou hath forsaken me
Finally back making heat, cooking like a bakery
Now there ain't no breaking me down
Where my ancestors, wish that they can see me now
I'm the best no question, ain't no testing me
I found my place
And it's me on top of the world
I'm King Kong, drop the gate
I hear the chariots coming today
I am King Kong (King Kong)
King Kong (King Kong)
I'm King Kong (King Kong)
I'm King Kong
(Now who the best?) King Kong
(Beat your chest) King Kong
(You the best) King Kong
(Beat your chest) I am King Kong
And how that baby from the 80's got this generation crazy
Cause G.O.O.D Music Roc boy, you'd think I was with Shady
Shout out to my niggas getting Young Money
Still I'm trying to get that old money
Oops, I mean that royal money, haters these days are so funny
Ha ha ha, false as shit, taking shit, blah, blah, blah
You can't beat me, why you gotta try?
I'm a fame monster, Lady Ga Ga
And I ain't gonna lie, if I ain't get mine
I wouldn't be fly
I'd be back in the project hallways all day
Nah, I'm just lying, I would grind 'til I get mine
I found my place
And it's me on top of the world
I'm King Kong, drop the gate
I hear the chariots coming today
I am King Kong (King Kong)
King Kong (King Kong)
I'm King Kong (King Kong)
I'm King Kong
(Now who the best?) King Kong
(Beat your chest) King Kong
(You the best) King Kong
(Beat your chest) I am King Kong
I see the horizon, where queens are dipped in gold
And diamond rings are so fat
All my kings from every hood finally living good
We've come too far to go back
Yeah, so drink up, drink up, we ain't promised tomorrow
We're only promised this bottle of the finest Moscato
And I'ma live by that motto, I may just fly to Cabo
Ding dong, ring the bell of a fabulous model
I'm King Kong
I'm King Kong
I'm King Kong
I'm King Kong
I'm King Kong!
I found my place
And it's me on top of the world
I'm King Kong, drop the gate
I hear the chariots coming today
I am King Kong (King Kong)
King Kong (King Kong)
I'm King Kong (King Kong)
I'm King Kong
(Now who the best?) King Kong
(Beat your chest) King Kong
(You the best) King Kong
(Beat your chest) I am King Kong
We found our place
Now we're on top of the world
We are King Kong, drop the gates
I hear the chariots coming today
We are King Kong
We're King Kong
We're King Kong
We're King Kong
(King Kong)

The lyric follows that he doesn't feel the pressure to show the world the best, endures pain, and lets the gorillas out, ignoring the chains. He also talks about being forsaken but now finally back, cooking like a bakery, and not being broken down. He embraces his African roots by mentioning his ancestors who would wish they could see him now.

Nothing can stop me from succeeding
Where my ancestors, wish that they can see me now
I wish my ancestors could see how far I have come
I'm the best no question, ain't no testing me
I am the best, no one can compete with me
And how that baby from the 80's got this generation crazy
My music from the 80s has been popular for generations
Cause G.O.O.D Music Roc boy, you'd think I was with Shady
My music label is so great that you would think I was with a famous label like Eminem's
Shout out to my niggas getting Young Money
I'm giving a shoutout to my friends who are in the music group Young Money
Still I'm trying to get that old money
I am still trying to get classic, old money
Oops, I mean that royal money, haters these days are so funny
Actually, I mean I want the luxurious, royal money - people who hate me now are just funny
Ha ha ha, false as shit, taking shit, blah, blah, blah
I am laughing at people who are fake and talk negatively about me
You can't beat me, why you gotta try?
You can't beat me, so why are you wasting your time trying to compete?
I'm a fame monster, Lady Ga Ga
I, like Lady Ga Ga, am a monster when it comes to fame
And I ain't gonna lie, if I ain't get mine
I won't lie, if I wasn't successful, I wouldn't be happy
I wouldn't be fly
I wouldn't be cool or stylish
I'd be back in the project hallways all day
I would be back where I started, in a low income area
Nah, I'm just lying, I would grind 'til I get mine
Actually, that's a lie, I would still work hard to become successful
I see the horizon, where queens are dipped in gold
I see a future where women are powerful and rich
And diamond rings are so fat
The diamond rings are so big and luxurious
All my kings from every hood finally living good
All of my male friends from low income areas are finally living good lives
We've come too far to go back
We've made too much progress to go back to where we started
Yeah, so drink up, drink up, we ain't promised tomorrow
Enjoy life and drink up, because we don't know what the future holds
We're only promised this bottle of the finest Moscato
All we have is this one bottle of great Moscato wine
And I'ma live by that motto, I may just fly to Cabo
I will live by that life lesson and might even travel to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Ding dong, ring the bell of a fabulous model
Someone is ringing the doorbell for a beautiful model
We found our place
My friends and I have found where we belong
Now we're on top of the world
Now we are all very successful
We are King Kong, drop the gates
We all have strength and power
We're King Kong
We are all unbeatable
We're King Kong
We are all invincible
We're King Kong
We are all the best
