[Intro]
Hey, hey!
Hey, yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, up top, hands, sing

[Chorus]
n*gga why you actin' like a ho?
Know that I'ma ride for ya, either way it go
Tell me, girl why you be stressin' me for time?
When you tell me you love me, can't you see I'm tryna climb?
Damn my n*gga why you actin' like a b*tch?
If you scared to take a chance, how the f*ck we gon' get rich?
Come here baby why you always insecure?
Hold on tight to a n*gga and be sure

[Verse 1]
Ain't a way around it no more, I am the greatest
A lotta n*ggas sat on the throne, I am the latest
I am the bravest, go toe to toe with the giants
I ain't afraid of you n*ggas, I'll end up fading you n*ggas
'Fore it's all said and done, this n*gga need medicine
My uzi, it weighed a ton, I need me a better gun
In fact I just might need two, cause n*ggas say they the one
And I got something to prove
Forgive me lord here they come, BLAOOW

[Chorus]
n*gga why you actin' like a ho?
Know that I'ma ride for ya, either way it go
Tell me, girl why you be stressin' me for time?
When you tell me you love me, can't you see I'm tryna climb?
Damn my n*gga why you actin' like a b*tch?
If you scared to take a chance, how the f*ck we gon' get rich?
Come here baby why you always insecure?
Hold on tight to a n*gga and be sure

[Verse 2]
My inhibition's fighting my intuition
Premature premonition, showing me the demolition
Of these phony n*ggas, so ahead of my time
Even when I rhyme about the future I be reminiscing
You want the truth well come and listen
I'm like that time you bagged a dime and checked ya phone
And saw it was a number missing
As fate passes you by, half of you try
The other half of you fry, too high to actually fly
One day you'll have to decide, who you gon' be
A scary n*gga or a n*gga that's gon' rule like me
Keep it true like me, Cole you might be
Like the new Ice Cube, meets the new Ice-T
Meets 2 Live Crew, meets the new Spike Lee
Meets Bruce like Wayne, meets Bruce like Lee
Meets '02 Lil Wayne, in a new white tee
Meets KD, ain't no n*gga that can shoot like me!
BLAOOOW!

[Chorus]
n*gga why you actin' like a ho?
Know that I'ma ride for ya, either way it go
Tell me, girl why you be stressin' me for time?
When you tell me you love me, can't you see I'm tryna climb?
Damn my n*gga why you actin' like a b*tch?
If you scared to take a chance, how the f*ck we gon' get rich?
Come here baby why you always insecure?
Hold on tight to a n*gga and be sure

[Bridge]
Who's the king?
Came from the bottom n*gga, with stains on my shirt
What you expected from me, I came from the dirt
(Who's the king?)
Money my motivator, the songs that I sing
Picture a peasant passin' from pawn to a king
You tell me ya still love me, if so then let me go
Will I return or will I burn, never know
Look in my eyes and see the future
But don't sugar coat it

[Verse 3]
Listen...
History repeats itself and that's just how it goes
Same way that these rappers always bite each others flows
Same thing that my n*gga Elvis did with Rock n Roll
Justin Timberlake, Eminem and then Macklemore
While silly n*ggas argue over who gon' snatch the crown
Look around, my n*gga, white people have snatched the sound
This year I'll prolly go to the awards dappered down
Watch Iggy lose the Grammy as a n*gga crack a smile
I'm just playin', but all good jokes contain true sh*t
Same rope you climb up on, they'll hang you with
But not Jermaine, my aim too sick
I bang n*gga, I came to bring the pain my brain too quick
You see how I maneuver this game, I ain't stupid
I recognize that life is a dream, and I dream lucid
And break the chains and change minds
One verse at a time, and claim 2-6
And f*ck it, if the shoe fits, who's the king?
