Pride
King-K Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With God's help, we shall
Prevail
And war
Can no longer be confined to the battlefield (It's King Zae!)
Ahem
I am the king, the main
Attraction (What?)
You're just jealous, Jermaine
Jackson (Yea)
Bottles steady pouring, champagne
In action (Alright)
All my niggas fighting, that's a chain
Reaction (You know)
You ain't stressing me in this game
Of rapping (Haa!)
I'm best at it, doesn't matter how
You stack it
Sitting pretty in your spot, but I came to
Snatch it
You might've set the bar, but I will
Surpass it
But I will surpass it
You know I will surpass
And yes I will surpass it
Catch me in the Venom cause I'm leaving fire on the track
Too much drip even the plumber couldn't fix the tap
I adopted these rappers, I need some Similac
One night with me, and watch your girl become a maniac
I make her wine for me, make her dutty dutty
Appetizing success, I guess I'm money hungry
Dropped the hammer on em, they can't touch me touch me
If you part of my Squad then you are lucky lucky
What them lames say?
Birdies sang sang
Hear my chains ring?
That's the gang gang
I'm from west side
That's the best side (West Baltimore Baby!)
Baltimore bred my city in the headlines
Confidence
Pride
Valor
You see it in my eyes
I came
I conquered
Just listen
I can hear the crowd screaming!
(King! King! King! King! King! King! King!
Zae!)
(King! King! King! King! King! King! King!
Zae!)
I can hear the crowd screaming!
(King! King! King! King! King! King! King!
Zae!)
King! King! King! King! King! King! King!
(Zae!)
I can hear the crowd screaming!
I am the king, the main
Attraction (What?)
You're just jealous, Jermaine
Jackson (Yea)
Bottles steady pouring, champagne
In action (Alright)
All my niggas fighting, that's a chain
Reaction (You know)
You ain't stressing me in this game
Of rapping (Haa!)
I'm best at it, doesn't matter how
You stack it
Sitting pretty in your spot, but I came to
Snatch it
You might've set the bar, but I will
Surpass it
(Yo, Yo)
Now listen up 'cause I'm bouta take it to Kendrick level
Try to go against me I highly suggest grab a shovel
Dig your own grave before you spit in it so I can lay you down
Get embarrassed by a newcomer, yea your a major clown
I know it's controversial to say that but I don't care
I'm gonna be one of the greatest, had to make that clear
And I'ma do what I have to, I'm not 'gon play it fair
I'll make the hairs on your neck stand up, better grab the Nair
This beat is elementary my dear, I'm coloring
My flow so dumb, got me st-st-st-st-st-stuttering
Way outta line so I better not catch you butting in
Don't kiss my feet when I'm the one that's ru-ru-running it
I can hear the crowd screaming!
(King! King! King! King! King! King! King!
Zae!)
(King! King! King! King! King! King! King!
