Dream Of A King
Krizz Kaliko feat. Prozak & ¡Mayday! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, and they told about the capital games, venom
Will they be if they in shackles and chains, sen’ ‘em
Off to battle by Catherine to the grave summer
‘Till the gates await for one soul murder
Women livin’ in sin killed the children
The squad producin’ to pop the pills in
It’s all confusions, are not solutions
I’m topin’ up the plot to drop stop the blueprint
If anything’s ever gonna get better we gotta get rid of the vendettas
And suffer in our endeavours
I'm the king that build this legend
Never ever step on the huffle one another
Be stubborn enough to hate one another
Remember that we are brothers
And since the scheme from the same mother
The earth and we go through the same struggles
It hurts when we gotta make it work for us

[Chorus]
What are we fightin’ for?
And why do we sell war?
All my country tears me brief
Scream our needs and all our grief
And those who scream world peace
The secret dream, A dream of the kings

In the UK mama had a itty bitty lil' boy prue
With a man that wasn’t like quite likely approved
Walked around Cape Town, ready for the abuse
Cause the colour of the skin was so difficult to few
Not dark enough, not white enough
Hey boy, what be your background anyway?
Is there really an answer to this type of a cancer?
Human beings what my pop said we’d better save
Now speedin’ up the days on the countdown
Present day is a race, better stop high
Get up and get your freedom to love one another
My brother suffered from the motherfuckers underneath the plot now
Now push here and just limit the true clears of the nigga men initiative
Like the fear of traditionally ignorant
And let your guard down with the stitch you are member with

[Chorus]

Come on God, we see the one in size
But we steady reachin’ for the climax of a earthly high?
We love the money and sex more from the grace from the sky
Cravin’ a plan for someone to save me
Could he be real? Feelin’ me?
Or should I look to the heaven?
I can see my sanity in a world of profanity
Temptation at a all time high
Women, minister, does their pry
Avoidin’ the questions, tryin’ to survive
Maybe yet we should just die

Even kings fall
Sunset on my back bringin’ in the dark
I ain’t always even killed, tryna gain a lil’ balance for real
Because I’ve been lost
Played grand politics for the kids
That’s how it is
Innocence lost to a Mossberg kiss
What it is and what it was, plus it ain’t getting better for us
Life’s worse and enough on the high when the cops speed by
Someone told me about a dream that my son is alive
So I told him to run it back but he didn’t reply
You see they all oughta wait dyin’ than close the high
And the world’s getting smaller, yes it is
That’s the world real like, break it to doctors, the shame that parts us




But I got American
Pain follows illusion my friend

I ain’t always even killed, tryna gain a lil’ balance for real
I haven't always been fair, but I am trying to find balance in life


Because I’ve been lost
I have lost my way before


Played grand politics for the kids

That’s how it is
That's just how things are


Innocence lost to a Mossberg kiss
Innocence is lost to the horror of gun violence


What it is and what it was, plus it ain’t getting better for us
The past and present are both bad, and the future doesn't look bright either


Life’s worse and enough on the high when the cops speed by
Life is worse when the police rush by with sirens blaring


Someone told me about a dream that my son is alive
Someone shared a hopeful dream about my son


So I told him to run it back but he didn’t reply
I tried to discuss the dream with him but he didn't respond


You see they all oughta wait dyin’ than close the high
They would all rather die than give up the thrill of the high


And the world’s getting smaller, yes it is
The world is becoming more interconnected


That’s the world real like, break it to doctors, the shame that parts us
This is the reality of the world; it's up to doctors to reveal the problems that divide us


But I got American
But I am American


Pain follows illusion my friend
Pain is a result of disillusionment with the world

BigMacSoss666

If I had the choice to pick my favorite song off "Kickin' & Screamin'", I would have picked all of them, so much talent Krizz Kaliko and the rest of Strange Music artists have (\S/)

BigMacSoss666

Marshall Bland

twistedsevenfold

I’ve been listening to strange music for a long time and idk how but I missed this song. Definitely one of the better ones I’ve heard. Glad I found this one today

Broski McBrosef

been waiting for an instrumental of this for so damn long. Someone make this happen!

Isaac Tillman

Same. I tried looking it up for one so I could maybe do something with it, but there wasn't any. I had the idea in my head to do something about the hate in the world and how it needs peace and thought that is a Mayday song, isn't it? Though it is Krizz Kaliko but I thought it was them. I knew the song had Prozak in it so I looked up Mayday featuring Prozak and this was the second result and I'm like oh, it was Krizz Kaliko. Not Mayday but they are featured. Anyways then I'm like instrumental? But there isn't any made

Michael E. Thue CMA
