masego Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tadow, they be like Tadow
Got a hundred million people screamin Tadow
Had a world tour, made a lotta M's
Had a girl faint overseas, now I'm MJ
Your words not mine, I keep to myself
I do everything, I don't need no help
So don't be talkin' 'bout Masego is slept on
J Cole, Will Smith in my cell phone
You lucky I don't wanna be famous
'Cause I would speak on these memories and say things like
"I attract ladies with a dormant dream"
And I don't see all the things that they wanna see in me
And if I feature on your track, you know that track is mine now
You know I got the Drake effect
You know that it's my time now
Name another nigga look as good as me, play like me
I can't think of ten, I can't think of three
Like ain't nobody really dope as me
I can see your insecurities
Most of y'all just do it for the green
I just made a lane and plant a tree
Lemme be frank, got me a garden
Got me a world, got me a business
Different locations, and I go crazy
Y'all be like Nipsey, but did you hear him?

Question
What I look like? (Jheeze)
What I look like?
What I look like?
That's that boy King, King of the garden

Y'all can call me King
King, King of the garden, uh
King, King of the garden, yeah
King, King of the garden
That's that boy King, King of the garden
(Say it again)

King, King of the garden
King, King of the garden, uh
King, King of the garden
Yes that boy King, King of the, ayo

Keep it a buck, I don't like nobody
I don't wait for nobody
My biggest pet peeve is my time
So if you waste mine, to me you are nobody
Like you, I don't 'member yo' name
I don't know what you sayin'
Aye girl, why you over here playin'
Baby what's your plan?
Matta fact, forget all this vague talk
I'ma get more specific, hold up, stay put
'Member that one time, Kelly Rowland thought I was Shy Glizzy?
'Member that one time, Swizz Beatz said he would vibe with me?
'Member that one time she shook my hand but never locked eyes with me?
'Member that one time K-Dot freestyled on my beat (legacy)

I want no fame though
Like Frank Ocean, like Adele, like
You can't reach me on my cell
And I got fans so I won't fail, and
I done got everything I wanted last year
I got melody gardens all out here
I don't like the real world so I made a fantasy
I'm your lady's fantasy and your girl a fan of me
And no nigga I won't get a ghost rider
I won't get an instrumental album
I'ma give you everything I think, yeah

What I look like?
What I look like?
What I look like?
That's that boy King, King of the garden

Y'all can call me King
King, King of the garden (call me, call me)
King, King of the garden
King, King of the garden
That's that boy King, King of the garden

@Masego

Fun fact/back story: I was having a jam session and Jah, the producer of this song was playing beats, we jammed for over 3 hours, everyone left that night on a high. I left the computer recording for hours after that, went to press save later that night, then i bumped my computer and lost the whole song. I felt utterly defeated for days, left for tour, then on a plane ride, I remembered what the beat was called, reminded Jah, he sent it, mood instantly shifted and boom, Kings Rant was made.
