Kings Dead
Jay Rock Kendrick Lamar Future James Blake Lyrics

Miss me with that bullshit (bullshit)
I don't want to hear anything that's not real or authentic

You ain't really wild, you a tourist (a tourist)
You're not really living the life, you're just visiting for a short time

I be blackin' out with the purist (the purist)
I immerse myself in a state of pure, unbridled emotion

I made a hundred thou' then I freaked it (I freaked it)
I turned a modest sum into something much more profitable

I made 500 thou' then I freaked it (I freaked it)
I turned a large sum into an even larger profit

I bought a '87 for the weekend (the weekend)
I purchased a classic car and only planned to use it temporarily

This ain't what you want, this ain't what you want (what you want)
This lifestyle is not as glamorous as you may think

And it's like that, lil' bitch
Things are really like this, whether you like it or not

MVP, I don't get no sleep, no, I don't like that, lil' bitch
I'm the most valuable player, but I don't have time for sleep and I don't want it either

Bust that open, I want that ocean, yeah that bite back, lil' bitch
I want a woman to be sexually adventurous, but not without potential consequences

Do it bite back, lil' bitch? Need two life jackets, lil' bitch
Will there be repercussions to our passionate encounter? I'm prepared for anything

I ain't gon' hold you, I ain't gon' press you, never control you
I won't restrict or dominate you in any way

I ain't gon' front you, keep it 100, I don't know you
I won't pretend to know more than I do, I'm just being real with you

Boss like Top Dawg, bossed my life up, crossin' over
I'm at the top of my game, I've taken control of my life and I'm venturing into new territory

Stutter steppin', got a Hall of Fame in all my posters
I may have stumbled along the way, but I'm achieving greatness and being recognized for it

I've been ready, my whip been ready
I'm always prepared and my car is too

My bitch been ready, my clique been ready
My girl and my crew are always ready to go

My shit's been ready, my check's been ready
I'm always ready to handle business, with money and equipment at the ready

My shot's on full, that's Armageddon
I'm fully loaded and ready for anything

I got pull, I hope y'all ready
I've got influence and power, be prepared for what's coming

My tank on full, you know, unleaded
My energy and drive are at their peak, fueled and ready to go

I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it
I'm constantly striving for more, never content with what I have

My name gon' hold up, my team gon' hold up
My reputation and my squad are both strong and dependable

My shots gon' fire, my team gon' roll up
My words and actions are powerful and my team is always right behind me

Ménage-à-trois, my queen gon' roll up
I desire a threesome and my girl is down for it

I hope y'all ready, you know I'm ready
Be prepared, because I'm always prepared

I reign all day, you know, confetti
I dominate in everything I do, leaving a trail of celebration in my wake

I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it, skrrt
I'm off to chase my dreams and achieve greatness

You're not a gang member, you's a tourist (a tourist)
You're not really part of this lifestyle, you're just dabbling in it temporarily

I be blackin' out, I be blackin' out
I completely lose myself in the moment

Bought a '83 Cutlass for the weekend (for the weekend)
I purchased a classic car just for a short period of time

I got a hundred thousand, then I freaked it (then I freaked it)
I turned a modest sum into something much more profitable

I made 500 thousand, then I freaked it (then I freaked it)
I turned a large sum into an even larger profit

I put a Rolls Royce on my wrist, oh yeah
I've adorned myself with expensive jewelry

Fuck his baby mama, tryna sneak diss
I'm not afraid to attack someone's loved one if they disrespect me

I took her to my penthouse, then I freaked it (then I freaked it)
I brought her to my luxurious home and had a wild time with her

I haven't made my mind up, should I keep it? (Should I keep it?)
I haven't decided if I should keep this exciting lifestyle or return to normalcy

I got big dawg status, it ain't no secret
I'm at the top of my game and everyone knows it

La di da di da, slob on me knob
I'm engaging in lewd behavior

Pass me some syrup, fuck me in the car
I'm engaging in reckless, hedonistic behavior

La di da di da, mothafuck the law
I have no respect for authority

Chitty chitty bang, murder everything
I'm prepared to violently attack anyone who gets in my way

Bitch, I'm on a roll, and I put that on the gang
I'm achieving success and I owe it to my gang and lifestyle

Changes
The song is moving onto a new section

Is you gon' do something about it?
Are you going to fight against the changes happening in our lives?

What you want?
What is it that you really desire?

Red light, green light, red light, green light
Life is unpredictable, with moments of both opportunity and danger

Red light, green light, they like, we like
Whether things are good or bad, we'll stick together

Fast cars, fast money, fast life, fast broads
Our lifestyle is full of speed and excitement, with money and women at the center

Egotistic, goin' ballistic, why God?
Despite all our success, we're still questioning the nature of our existence

Born warrior, lookin' for euphoria, but I don't see it
We're always searching for a higher purpose or meaning, but it's not always easy to find

I don't feel it, I'm paraplegic, tapped in when I'm maxed in
I feel disconnected and unfulfilled, but I'm able to tap into something greater when I'm at my limit

Comp-Town with the MAC-10s and the pumps in the background
We're surrounded by guns and violence, but it's just part of the environment

I was absent, never OG, standout
I wasn't always a key player in this lifestyle

I was lackin' everything else but doubt
I didn't have much going for me besides my own self-doubt

In the Magnum, holding Magnums with a Magnum
I'm driving a Magnum car while holding a Magnum gun

Nigga, ad-lib and I sing out loud
I'm making music and expressing myself through powerful ad-libs

Never had friends, never had ends, never had hope
I've never had a strong support system or much hope for a better life

They was like, "nope," I was like, "boo yaow, boo yaow"
Others have tried to hold me back, but I'm not giving up without a fight

(Yeah God)
Acknowledging a higher power or force at work

Tee off the day, know we off the, be off the, eat off your plate
We're attacking each day and taking whatever we can get

Throw me off, I be, "off ya head"
Even when things are crazy, I'm still able to handle the situation

Well ate, on C4, I'm way off the edge
I've indulged in explosive, dangerous behavior

Fuck integrity, fuck your pedigree, fuck your feelings, fuck your culture
We don't care about any rules or traditions, we do what we want

Fuck your moral, fuck your family, fuck your tribe
We have no respect for anyone else's values or family connections

Fuck your land, fuck your children, fuck your wives
We're willing to violate anyone and anything for our own gain

Who am I? Not your father, not your brother
I don't have any familial connection to you

Not your reason, not your future
I'm not here to provide reason or stability for you

Not your comfort, not your reverence, not your glory
I'm not here to make you feel comfortable or admired

Not your heaven, not your angel, not your spirit
I'm not here to provide you with any sort of spiritual or religious guidance

Not your message, not your freedom
I'm not here to convey any sort of message or bring you freedom

Not your people, not your neighbor
I have no connection to you or your community

Not your baby, not your equal
I'm not your child or your equal

Not the title y'all want me under
I won't be defined by anyone else's labels or expectations

All hail King Killmonger
I'm the king of my own world and I don't answer to anyone else

Fast cars
Referring back to the previous stanza about our fast-paced lifestyle
