91darby – To Be King lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ain't it good to be King, is it everything you dreamed
Are you satisfied with life, given everything you've seen
You've  seen people die for your place or lose their mind in your race
You fell short, I see it cause the proof is all in your face
Thought you could change the world cause you found yourself
I've watched you juggle right and wrong, I've watched you doubt yourself
I've watched the downtrodden find a way without your help
I turned your heart cold and now I watch it melt
What is it about status that makes you feel invincible?
What is it about status that makes you feel loved?
What is it about status that makes you forget principle?
All of your status don't place you above all of your peers
You know that success is subjective, you don't care to respected
You just care to be requested, attention makes you feel special don't it

[Talking]
How special are you now nigga?

[Verse 2]
Oh, forgot to tell you my name's Meisei
I know I told you [?] But that was the safe way to get you close
Way back when, I was just chilling in my black box
Until somebody just like you broke the padlock
I told him he had three wishes
Then he wished for bitches, then he wished for power, then he wished for riches
And that was cool, I could grant him that
I tried to give him the key to life and watched him hand it back
He said "I'm good with what I got, I mean I been through a lot"
I said "go change the world", he said "the world never stops"
And then he left
I realized it was an exercise in futility
Human fragility, you are the enemy

[Talking]
Waiting
I know you're not trying to crawl away during my story
I'm not done
I'm not done
Stay there

[Verse 3]
So I took a walk, looking for a better heart
Then I saw you, you were all blue
12 and depressed, looking for a voice
Couldn't see no way out, you were looking for a choice weren't you?
So I gave you one
Told you could have control and that made you run
Said you wanted to change the world
Then we got there and all you wanted was chains and girls
Dammit nigga
Well I guess it went just how I planned it nigga
You became the management and couldn't manage nigga
I'm surprised you didn't overdose
Surprised you didn't crash your ride, surprised you wasn't comatose
The hearts of men ain't in a great place
Now your life ain't ending in a great way
Now you can rest forever, take a vaca'
What's fame in Japanese? Meisei
Meisei

[Outro]
The lights will blind you
As your left foot guides you
Your castle will hide you
But the world will survive you
