I'm A King
T.I. & The P$C Lyrics

Now, e'rybody wanna be the king of the South
Everyone wants to be the leader in the country

When, they ain't runnin' a damn thing but they mouth
But most of them are just talking without doing anything significant

No doubt, it's all good, y'all just statin' y'all opinion
Their opinions are fine, but that's all they are - opinions

But in the South and in the hood it's understood without sayin'
But the people in the South and in the hood know who the real leader is without anyone needing to say it.

It's a given, and ain't because of what I'm doin' for a livin'
It's obvious, and it's not just because of my job

It's, mo' because of what I do and how I'm livin'
It's more about my actions and lifestyle

Not to mention when I'm rappin' I'm just hurtin' niggaz feelings
And when I rap, I make people feel intimidated

Made provisions for the clique to continue keepin' it pimpin'
I made sure my group can keep doing what we do best

Whether crack was in the house or record sales was through the ceiling
Regardless of if we sold drugs or records, we were still on top

So say what you want, and do what you please
You can say or do what you want, I don't care

But for fun, I shoot 22's from your shoes to your knees
But if you disrespect me, I might shoot you with a 22-caliber gun

I run a record label and a crew of G's
I manage a record company and a group of gangsters

So, niggas'll come and look for you if ya sneeze
So if you make a wrong move, my crew will come after you

Or even breathe the wrong way, you better do what the song say
Even the slightest mistake may cause trouble, so follow the message of this song

And be easy, or else it'll be a long day
So be calm and cooperative, otherwise it will be a tough day for you

I'm a king, bank rolls in the pockets of my jeans
I am a leader with a lot of money in my pockets

I'm a king, you pussy niggaz couldn't see me in your dreams
I am so powerful and intimidating that even in your dreams, you can't handle me

I'm a king, top topic of all of your magazines
I'm the main subject of all the popular magazines

I'm a king, head of the body, leader of the team
I am the leader of my group and head of the organization

I'm a king, remember I can get your block knocked off
Don't forget that I have the power to cause violence in your area

I'm a king, a Bentley coupe with the top chopped off
I ride in a luxurious car with the top down

I'm a king, I'm connectin nationwide but in the South
I am well-connected throughout the country, but especially in the South

I'm a king, just respect it and keep my name out'cha mouth
Just acknowledge my power and don't say anything bad about me

I'm the prince shorty don't get it twisted
I may not be the king yet, but don't underestimate me

Been callin' shots simpin' 'fore my flows existed
I've been making important decisions before I became famous for my music

And still find birds in my momma kitchen
I can still find women in my mother's house wanting to be with me

You might see me burnin' purple in the subdivision
You might see me smoking marijuana in the neighborhood

I got soldiers on deck, babyface pimpin'
I have a team of strong and loyal soldiers working for me and I am a skilled pimp

Whatchu' know 'bout dat, I get a bad Brenda
Do you even know what I'm talking about? I attract beautiful women named Brenda

With that vert' top back, my jeans feelin tight
With the convertible top down and my tight jeans, I look cool

Cause my pockets stay fat, playa better know that
Because I always have a lot of money, everyone should acknowledge my wealth

My neck got so much shit, danglin'
I have a lot of jewelry hanging from my neck

Big dick, big chain, we just keep on hangin'
I have a large male organ and a big chain, and I just continue to party with my friends

Got a Hollywood ho, and a broad that be sangin'
I have a woman from Hollywood and a singer as girlfriends

They be hatin cause I'm famous ? what I was thankin'
They hate me because I am famous, but that is what I was aiming for

And this for every don nigga thankin he passed me
This is for anyone who thought they were better than me

Y'all just thank that you gone and the shit'll be nasty
You may think you're better than me, but the consequences will be severe

I'ma stay ballin', ballin' off my old school classic
I will continue to be successful, living off my older successful tracks

Lil Scrap got big bank, now see if you can match it
I have a lot of money, let's see if you can keep up with me

Shorty I'm down with the kings, so call me the greatest
I am with the ruling group, so you can call me the greatest

Number one hustler, I keep the street blazin'
I am the best hustler, and I always keep the streets hot

If the grapes don't sell, I dry 'em up and sell raisins
If my current business venture fails, I will find another way to make money

While y'all cherry pickin' hustlers out here slavin'
While you are choosing easy business opportunities, I am working hard and grinding

That king shit nigga runs deep in my veins
Being a leader is a part of who I am

Pump through my heart, live in my bone marrow mayne
It is not just a superficial quality, it is an integral part of my being

That's pimpin! My gas is premium like octane
Being a king is like being a pimp, and I only use premium gas for my car

Can't tell me nothin' 'bout stackin' these Benja-maynes
You cannot tell me anything about making a lot of money

I'm the king of the Dirty, see me seated in the throne
I am the leader of this area and I sit on my throne

Overruled other dudes like Caesar did in Rome
I am so powerful that I can control others, like Caesar did in Rome

With a prince that's so demandin' and an aura so strong
I have a young and assertive prince with me and a powerful aura

The South ain't been represented like this in so long
The South has not had a leader like me in a long time

I'm an emperor, you best be glad I'm workin' on my temper
I am so powerful that I am like an emperor, and you should be grateful that I am trying to control my anger

Otherwise I'd cock a pistol, send some missiles to your temple
Otherwise, I would become violent and shoot at your head

Disrespect us I'ma blick 'em 'til I get you plain and simple
If you disrespect us, I will shoot you until the message is clear

Brass knuckles to your dentals blast suckers in they dimples
I will punch you in the face so hard that your teeth will rattle and your face will have dimples

I'm a king
I am a leader
