lirik lagu erik cain – the king’s address
[intro: mariah carey]
something that you do
hypnotizes me
sets my soul at ease
every time you near me
im in heaven baby
[verse 1: erik cain]
sometimes i sit alone in my room
wish i could go back
right back to my summer 16
yeah that’s a throwback
’cause right now i just sit in my grief
but you ain’t know that
i tried to k!ll myself like last week
but you ain’t know that
and lately i can’t eat, i can’t sleep
but you ain’t know that
been battlin’ my demons
im tryna get my soul back
and everyday im walkin’ in fear
i never show that
and everyday im fightin’ these tears
it’s hard to hold back
but i’ve been in the mud just like momma do
tryna get a buzz like muhammad do
tryna get a buzz like the army do
but everybody judge like yo [?] do
they tell you it’s all love then dishonor you
but i’ll be great
because i got it in my blood like my momma do
n~ggas keep on hatin’, think they safe, just know im on to you
n~ggas gettin’ baked like a sauna do
im tryna make it, i’ma rule the nation like obama do
said i’ma do it for all of my n~ggas in the pen
doin’ time, prayin’ for forgiveness for they sins
i do it for my uncle, he got hooked up on the gin
they took his kids away and now that n~gga goin’ in
i do it for the child that’s strugglin’ without a voice
his parents don’t want him, but it ain’t like he had a choice
he write a list to santa, he ain’t askin’ for no toys
he askin’ for some love ’cause in his heart there was a void
my n~gga looked at me and said, “i gotta make it
’cause i’ve been slavin’ on this job and lately i can’t take it
i know it take time, but n~gga im ’bout outta patience
and lately you ain’t on yo grind but you done had us waitin'”
’cause ain’t it funny how we workin’ just to live, two dollars from nine to five, man
this world so f~ckin’ evil, they chargin’ us to survive
probably put a tax on breathin’ if they thought they’d make a dime
but now i gave me reason, trust me, i done made my mind
see i see what they do to all my people, got me down a lot
walkin’ through the streets and see a lot of things to frown about
been goin’ in circles like im drivin’ through a roundabout
but still ain’t made the cut, i got my heart up on the counter top
brother lookin’ at me like, “boy what you goin’ on about?”
i found the path to freedom, trust me baby, i’ma shout it out
scream it in the valley and i shout it in the mountain tops
if you don’t comprehend me, trust me baby, i’ma sound it out
a lot be goin’ on up in my mental
spit some words of wisdom all up on this instrumental
tryna make a movement that’s gon cause some incidentals
n~gga told me “boy don’t put yo heart up in this intro
why not keep it simple?”
im on my way, im tryna make it presidential
can’t look up in my face because the tint up on my window
then i’ma hit the gas and let them know it’s not a rental
be gone up off the gas and though my body is a temple
but i needed to relax, ’cause you don’t know what i done been through
the people that i lost and all the places i done been to
the sh~t got me exhausted like, “what have i gotten into?”
and then i get to writing, get the pad, pick up the pencil
then i thought about it
and i fell in so much shame cause
everyone got problems, everybody’s got some pain, so
why the f~ck would i think that i wouldn’t be the same, and
then i pick my head up and my thoughts began to change like
f~ck the government and f~ck the system, it’s the same, and
another legal way to keep my brothers up in chains, please
just wake up yo eyes li’l n~gga, learn the gain, and
maybe if we learn it, then one day we’ll run the game, and
we can make a change
i just need you to get some sense, like
we be makin’ change
never listen to the people that be
tryna make you tame
we’ll be shooting for the stars, and
im just hopin’ you take yo name
then we can shed the labels and then
maybe make a name
[outro: erik cain]
maybe make a name
f~ck it
you know that i’ma~
you know that i’ve been chasin’ fame, and
i’ma do it b~tch, my name is erik cain
see im the king
ain’t n0body else
this is the birth
true story
let em know
s.k
