black panther

wait

king of my city

king of my country

king of my homeland

king of the filthy

king of the fallen

we livin' again

king of the shooters

looters

boosters

and ghettos poppin'

king of the past

present

future

my ancestors watchin'

king of the culture

king of the soldiers

king of the bloodshed

king of the wisdom

king of the ocean

king of the respect

king of the optimistics and dreamers that go and get it

king of the winner's district and geniuses with conviction

king of the fighters

king of the fathers

king of the belated

king of the answer

king of the problem

king of the forsaken

king of the empathy

you resent me

king of remorse

king of my enemies

may they fall defeat

i rejoice

king of the skyscrapers

dodgin' haters

broke religion

nine faces

go against 'em

i erased 'em with precision

i embrace them with collision

kings did it

king's vision

black panther

king kendrick

all hail the king!

i dropped a million tears

i know several responsibilities put me here

i don't pedal backwards

but i live old-fashioned

the lens that i'm lookin' through

won't prescribe me the right glasses

masses are now free

ashes i'm dumpin' out

'bout to spread all 'cross seas

sisters and brothers in unison

not because of me

because we don't glue with the opposition

we glue with peace

but still'd fuck up your organization if any beef

what do you stand for?

are you a activist? what are your city plans for?

are you a accident? are you just in the way?

your native tongue contradictin' what your body language say

are you a king or you jokin'? are you a king or you posin'?

are you a king or you smokin' bowl rocks to keep you open?

because the king don't cry

king don't die

king don't lie

king give heart

king get by

king don't fall

kingdom come

when i come

you know why

i am t'challa!
