I'm A King
Lil' Scrappy Lyrics

And in case you forgot, I'm tha King
Just in case you forgot, I am the ruler and leader of the South.

Who I'm is, nigga?
Do you even know who I am, man?

T.I.P., Atlanta's own King of the South, shawty
T.I.P., the King of the South from Atlanta, is here, shorty.

Yea, yea, yeah, better keep my name out ya mouth, shawty
Yes, you better not speak my name negatively, man.

All hail Atlanta's own, owner of Atlanta's throne
Praise the ruler of the Atlanta region and its people.

If ain't want no trouble leave, shit, shoulda left the man alone
If you didn't want any problems, you should have left me alone and not provoked me.

It's been seen, shown and evident Atlanta's known
It is clear and beyond doubt that Atlanta is one of the most important cities when it comes to this type of music.

Tha King been the one representing all of Atlanta's zones
I, as the King, have been the one representing all corners of Atlanta.

Back when niggas was representing Atlanta wrong
When some people were not representing Atlanta in the right way,

Every shot he got, he put the hoods of Atlanta on
T.I.P. made sure to represent all the neighborhoods of Atlanta in his music.

The big screen then hit every trap and traveled on
His music was heard everywhere and everywhere he went.

Past, present to Texas to Alabama strong
From the past to the present and all the way down to Texas and Alabama.

Down in Miami, up to Louisiana homes
All the way down in Miami, all the way up to Louisiana homes.

From the Carolinas, Virginia to David Banner's home
From the Carolinas to Virginia and all the way to David Banner's house.

I'm well connected, haters, best to mind ya manners homes
I have the right connections and resources, so haters should be careful around me.

I got a nickel-plated 38 but hey, the hammer chrome
I have a gun that I like to keep with me, all nickel-plated and looking slick.

And it shine like ya should set the phantom on
It shines so much that it might as well make your luxury car look dull in comparison.

In it see me riding, getting blown like the saxophone
People will see me riding around with it, blowing like a saxophone player on a horn.

Hey shawty, spit the shit, it takes to cut a candle on
Hey, young woman, rap so well that you could light a candle with the heat.

If I ain't on ya tube, dude, you must got ya channel wrong
If you can't find me on your TV or online, you probably are not looking in the right place.

I'm tha King of the South, there is none flyer
I am the undeniable ruler of the South and no one can do it better than me.

Sucker MC's outta call me sire
All the bad rappers out there need to show me respect by calling me sire.

Ya songs okay but I'm on fire
Your songs are average, but I am exceptional and outstanding at what I do.

24 inches on my rims and tires
My wheels are massive at 24 inches in diameter.

Thought you was on top
I thought you were the best at what you do.

I pass right by ya
But then I come rolling by and show everyone who's really the best.

I will not stop and I won't retire
I will keep doing this forever, I won't quit or retire from what I do.

I came, I saw, I conquered with no big names
I came, I saw, and I kicked ass without any big names behind me for support.

No fame, no celebrity sponsors
I made it big without relying on fame or any big names to support me.

Just a game and a flow that was bonkers
All I had was my talent and my insane style and flow that made me stand out.

Nigga, front if ya wanna
And if anyone thinks they can challenge me or front on me, they are welcome to try.

Dead niggas like the bitches from 'Monster'
I'm so good that I'll tear through any competition like the ladies from a horror movie.

Now you been told so don't say I ain't warned ya
I've given you a warning, so don't act like you didn't know.

And don't let it alarm ya when ya leaking then the reapers upon ya
And don't be surprised if things go badly if you don't heed the warning.

Speak on me and I'm creepin' upon ya
If you speak ill of me, I will show up and make you pay.

Say that I ain't tha King
And anyone who denies that I'm the King is a liar and a fool.

But you just sour, you ain't think of it aren't ya
You're just jealous and can't appreciate my greatness, can you?

All the hating, is no time to respond, I miss tryin' to conjure up
There's no point in responding to haters, so I'm focusing on coming up with new music.

A way to get experience and launder
I'm trying to find ways to improve my craft and clean up my money-making process.

Hey, I thought ya record company conned ya
I thought your record label took advantage of you and cheated you out of money.

Into signing a deal, shy of a mill 'cause they really ain't want ya
They signed you to a less-than-ideal deal because they didn't really believe in your talent.

Moving yay, it's safe to say that they own to ya
You're basically their property now that they've signed you to a record deal.

So it's time to move on to real estate
It's time to start investing in real estate and start making some better financial decisions.

And get cake selling big estates
I'll make some serious money by selling large properties.

I'm tha King of the South, there is none flyer
I am the undisputed ruler of the South and the best at what I do.

24 inches on my rims and tires
My wheels are so large that they're 24 whole inches in diameter.

I'm 24 today, give it to, I'm 28
I might be 24 years old now, but give me some time and I'll be just as good at 28.

I'll be ruler of all that I survey and not just in the state
I will be the ruler of everything I see, not just in this state or region.

See, I bend just to win but I ain't finna break
I'm willing to adjust and adapt in order to come out on top, but I won't break or compromise my principles.

Most you niggas fake and I'll say it in nigga's face
Most of you guys are fake and I'll tell you that right to your face like a real man.

I'm tha king
I am the king.

I'm tha King
I am the king.

I'm tha King
I am the king.

I'm tha King
I am the king.

I'm tha King
I am the king.
