Name Me King
Game Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open the pearly gates, bright white lights Madonna
Angels lined up in my honor, ya' honor
Name me king
Name me king
I took the crown, infiltrated their fortress
Kidnap the queen, rode away on white horses
Name me king
Name me king

Brick by brick I built my fortress
My queen beautiful, Lamborghini is gorgeous
Phantom in the courtyard, 400 horses
Growl made the towers fall, 911 Porsches
Number 9 Jordan's pause the Air Forces
Kush clouds, blunts lit by Olympic torches
Gold bars melted and what returned Rolexes
Niggas got Breitlings to burn
Loyalty to earn
Royalty to who it may concern this is Los Angeles King Snapback
Sipping 'tron out the Stanley cup, I don't give a fuck
Drown them in the moat and let the bridge up
My son, my heir in Nike Airs, named my little nigga King
Meaning you should bow at his feet before God intervene
Even when I was in front of triple beams
Stack paper to the ceiling, to the fiends I was king

Open the pearly gates, bright white lights Madonna
Angels lined up in my honor, ya' honor
Name me king
Name me king
I took the crown, infiltrated their fortress
Kidnap the queen, rode away on white horses
Name me king
Name me king

Raise your glass for the last of the kingpins
The crown in the Maserati grill is mingling
Rollies cross oceans like Frank out in England
The Gay Pride bezel rainbow like it's spring again
Haah crack rock, crack rock nigga
My SC430 was a drop nigga
Go figure, this nigga play Go Fish
My only pet was fish scale not a goldfish
My young baby sitter now my old bitch
Blowjobs cause what I sold made her nose itch
(Yughck!) it's the king being crowned
Watch my predecessor fall like the sun going down (God!)
It's sunset, this is Sun Tzu (War!)
He paved the way I brought a ton through (Whooo!)
Been on his heels like a gum shoe
He took the throne so I could run through (Yughck!)

Open the pearly gates, bright white lights Madonna
Angels lined up in my honor, ya' honor
Name me king
Name me king
I took the crown, infiltrated their fortress
Kidnap the queen, rode away on white horses
Name me king
Name me king

Rose petals at my feet when I'm stepping out the Rolls
The royal penis is clean, Versace belt gold
Sweatin' like a slave where them pies get sold
Accompanied by fourteen karats stold
Adjust the temperature let the heat rise up
Like Jesus Shuttlesworth in that glass jar
Blue flame glowing like a Avatar
Five more minutes says the solid gold hand going 'round on my Audemar
Angels in the wing, ass naked do your thing
Show me what that baking soda bring, do it for your king
Every time I look up, they cook up
I be the master of them P's I got the hook up
From New Orleans to Virginia
I told her stuff them pies in her Virginia
Never been caught, can't be bought, she's a winner
Fly 'em south for the winter make it back home for dinner

Open the pearly gates, bright white lights Madonna
Angels lined up in my honor, ya' honor
Name me king
Name me king
I took the crown, infiltrated their fortress
Kidnap the queen, rode away on white horses




Name me king
Name me king

Overall Meaning

In "Name Me King," Game and Pusha T rap about their status as kings in the world of hip-hop, having taken the crown and infiltrated the fortress, which they voice as a metaphor for the music industry, and they won't let anyone take it away. They both acknowledge the luxuries they have, including Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royces, and Rolex watches, but contrast it with their background growing up in rough neighborhoods around Virginia and Los Angeles. Game mentions his loyalty to those who support him, and the last verse is devoted to Pusha T boasting about his drug dealing expertise and his women trafficking. The chorus proclaims their determination to maintain their position of power by forcefully demanding that they “name me king” with an angelic choir in the background, emphasizing their status and presence as king-like figures.
