[00:01.190]Here to stay
[00:03.540]Even when I'm gone
[00:06.470]When I close my eyes
[00:09.600]Through the passage of time
[00:13.600]Kings never die
[00:26.200]I can hear the drummer drumming
[00:27.560]And the trumpets, someone's tryna summon someone, I know somethin's coming
[00:30.700]But I'm runnin' from it to be standing at the summit
[00:32.760]And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was
[00:33.790]Was it, too good to be true?
[00:36.250]Have nothin', get it all but too much of it
[00:38.300]Then lose it again, did I swallow hallucinogens
[00:39.250]Cause if not, where the hell did it go?
[00:42.310]Cause here I sit in Lucifer's den by the dutch oven
[00:43.440]Just choosing to sin
[00:44.740]Even if it means I'm sellin' my soul, just to be the undisputed again
[00:46.480]Do whatever I gotta do just to win
[00:49.490]Cause I got this ************' cloud over my head
[00:51.500]Crown around it, thorns on it
[00:53.180]Cracks in it, bet you morons didn't think I'd be back, did ya?
[00:56.660]How 'bout that, I'm somehow now back to the underdog
[00:58.360]But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is somethin' I never bow-out at
[01:03.340]I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate
[01:06.090]But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt
[01:08.820]Even when you ******* are countin' me out, and I appear to be down for the count
[01:11.980]Only time I ever been out and about
[01:14.440]Is drivin' around town with my ******' whereabouts in a doubt
[01:15.610]Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter
[01:19.030]Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up
[01:20.900]Spit on, **** on, stepped on, but kept goin'
[01:22.840]I'm tryna be headstrong but it feels like I slept on my neck wrong
[01:25.640]Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?
[01:27.880]Cause someone told me that
[01:29.040](Kings never die)
[01:38.440]Don't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir
[01:40.630]You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep
[01:43.060]Nobody ever handed me **** in life, not even a flyer
[01:45.990]Wouldn't even take **** into consideration
[01:47.990]Obliterate anyone in the way
[01:49.580]I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to show out on a track with me
[01:52.320]But it'd actually have to be a ******' blow-out to get me to re-tire
[01:58.280]Tell these new artists that kings never die
[02:00.340]Did it just say I've been upstaged?
[02:04.520]Why am I online? It's driving me crazy
[02:05.130]I'm ridin' shotgun tryna get a gauge
[02:05.840]On what's hot, but I'm not one to conform
[02:06.860]But as days pass in this ****
[02:08.340]And opinions sway, I can hear 'em say
[02:09.600]If I stay passionate maybe I can stage a miraculous
[02:12.510]Comeback as if I went away
[02:13.860]But detractors just say so much for the Renegade
[02:16.000]Someone's gonna make me blow my composure
[02:16.960]Here I go again, center stage and I feel like I'm in a cage
[02:22.340]They so want a champion to fall
[02:23.960]It's no wonder why I laugh at 'em, cause why can't we win 'em all?
[02:25.780]So **** what these cynics say
[02:27.370](It) just goes ta show that when my back's against the wall
[02:30.090]And I'm under a tack again, that I'll act as if I'm 'posed ta
[02:31.590]With this pent up rage, cause all these plaques in my office
[02:34.300]On the floor stacked against the door
[02:37.450]Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin' back again?
[02:40.500]Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards
[02:44.740]And trophies just don't mean jack anymore
[02:45.860]If I'm here today and gone tomorrow
[02:46.800]And I'm not gonna be
[02:47.800]Here to stay
[02:49.770]Even when I'm gone
[02:52.890]When I close my eyes
[02:55.580]Through the passage of time
[02:59.490]Kings never die
[03:02.920]I want it, I'm comin' to get it
[03:03.730]So you son of a ******* don't duck you're gonna get ******* Bowe'd
[03:04.440]Critics'll end up in critical, think your **** is **** all you're gonna get is smoked
[03:07.480]And I'm not stopping 'til I'm on top again, all alone and on a throne
[03:07.940]Like a token of respect, or a homage poem, or an ode I've been owed
[03:11.570]Tossed in the air by my own arm, and launched so hard it broke my collarbone
[03:14.800]And when it's my time to go, I'm still not leaving
[03:18.280]Stop for no one, I don't know but I've been told an obstacle that
[03:25.000]Blocks your road, knock it over, time to go for that pot of gold, cause
[03:25.870]They say kings never die
[03:26.480]Just ask Jam Master Jay
[03:28.000]They just grow wings and they fly
[03:29.220]So, hands up, reach for the sky
[03:30.650]Try to hold and prolong these moments
[03:33.330]Cause in a blink of an eye
[03:34.840]They'll be over
[03:37.380]Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur
[03:38.470]And ensure nobody's ever gonna be what you were
[03:41.180]So before you're leavin' this Earth
[03:42.820]You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk
[03:44.750]Deacon of words, syllable genius at work
[03:47.400]Plus I'm thinkin' that they're mistakin' my kindness for weakness, kill 'em with meanness
[03:49.610]I went from powdered milk and Farina
[03:51.270]To flippin' burgers on the grill for some peanuts
[03:52.780]From Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers
[03:55.270]I made it to the silverscreen but Rocky's still what the theme is
[03:57.710]Khalil on the beat cause makin' the beat ain't the same feelin' to me as killin' the beat is
[04:00.320]Or fulfillin' to me is what fillin' a seat is
[04:01.040]It's that "Sound Bombing" Thirstin' Howl
[04:04.370]Common, underground, Diamond D, Outsidaz
[04:05.330]Stomach growl, throbbin' hunger, out-rhymin' everyone
[04:06.770]God just give me one shot, I swear that I won't let you down
[04:11.640]I'ma be around forever-and-a-day, even in the ground
[04:14.580]You ain't never ever gonna hear 'em say I ain't
[04:16.100]Here to stay

Why am I online? It's driving me crazy
I'm ridin' shotgun tryna get a gauge
On what's hot, but I'm not one to conform

And when it's my time to go, I'm still not leaving
Stop for no one, I don't know but I've been told an obstacle that
Blocks your road, knock it over, time to go for that pot of gold, cause
They say kings never die
Just ask Jam Master Jay
They just grow wings and they fly
So, hands up, reach for the sky
Try to hold and prolong these moments
Cause in a blink of an eye
They'll be over
Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur
And ensure nobody's ever gonna be what you were
So before you're leavin' this Earth
You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk
Deacon of words, syllable genius at work
Plus I'm thinkin' that they're mistakin' my kindness for weakness, kill 'em with meanness
I went from powdered milk and Farina
To flippin' burgers on the grill for some peanuts
From Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers
I made it to the silverscreen but Rocky's still what the theme is
Khalil on the beat cause makin' the beat ain't the same feelin' to me as killin' the beat is
Or fulfillin' to me is what fillin' a seat is
It's that "Sound Bombing" Thirstin' Howl
Common, underground, Diamond D, Outsidaz
Stomach growl, throbbin' hunger, out-rhymin' everyone
God just give me one shot, I swear that I won't let you down
I'ma be around forever-and-a-day, even in the ground
You ain't never ever gonna hear 'em say I ain't
Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die
