2
Nigga why you actin' like a ho?
3
Know that I'ma ride for ya, either way it go
4
Tell me girl why you be stressin me for time
5
When you tell me you love me, can't you see I'm tryna climb
6
Damn my nigga why you actin' like a bitch
7
If you scared to take a chance, how the fuck we gon' get rich?
8
Come here baby why you always insecure?

Hold on tight to a nigga and be sure
10
[Verse 1]
11
Ain't a way around it no more, I am the greatest
12
A lotta niggas sat on the throne, I am the latest
13
I am the bravest, go toe to toe with the giants
14
I ain't afraid of you niggas, I'll end up fading you niggas
15
'Fore it's all said and done, this nigga need medicine
16
My uzi it weighed a ton, I need me a better gun
17
In fact I just might need two, cuz niggas say they the one
18
And I got something to prove
19
Forgive me lord here they come, BLAOOW

[Verse 2]
30
My inhibitions, fighting my intuition
31
Premature premontion
32
Showin me the demoliton of these phony niggas
33
So ahead of my time
34
Even when I rhyme about the future I be reminiscing
35
You want the truth well come and listen
36
I'm like that time you bagged a dime
37
And checked ya phone and saw it was a number missing
38
As fate passes you by half of you try
39
The other half of you fry, too high to actually fly
40
One day yall have to decide, who you gon be
41
A scary nigga or a nigga that's gon' rule like me
42
Keep it true like me, Cole you might be
43
Like the new Ice Cube, meets the new Ice-T
44
Meets 2 Live Crew, meets the new Spike Lee
45
Meets Bruce like Wayne, meets Bruce like Lee
46
Meets '02 Lil Wayne, in a new white tee
47
Meets KD, ain't no nigga that can shoot like me! BLAOOOW
48

[Bridge]
58
(Who's the king?)
59
Came from the bottom nigga, with stains on my shirt
60
What you expected from me, I came from the dirt
61
(Who's the king?)
62
Money my motivator, the songs that I sing
63
Picture a peasant passin' from pawn to a King
64
You tell me ya still love me, if so then let me go
65
Will I return or will I burn, never know
66
Look in my eyes and see the future
67
But don't sugar coat it
68
[Verse 3]
69
History repeats itself and that's just how it goes
70
Same way that these rappers always bite each others flows
71
Same thing that my nigga Elvis did with Rock Roll
72
Justin Timberlake, Eminem, and then Macklemore
73
While silly niggas argue over who gone snatch the crown
74
Look around my nigga white people have snatched the sound
75
This year I'll prolly go to the awards dappered down
76
Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile
77
I'm just playin', but all good jokes contain true shit
78
Same rope you climb up on, they'll hang you with
79
But not Jermaine, my aim too sick
80
I bang nigga, I came to bring the pain my brain too quick
81
You see how I maneuver this game, I ain't stupid
82
I recognize that life is a dream, and I dream lucid
83
And break the chains and change minds, one verse at a time
84
And claim that you sick, and fuck it if the truth is
85
Who's the king?
86
[Outro]
87
We all kings
88
(We all kings nigga)
89
Kings of ourselves first and foremost
90
(True)
91
While the people debate who's the king of this rap game
92
Here comes lil' ol' Jermaine
93
With every ounce of strength in his veins
94
To snatch the crown from whoever y'all think has it
95
But rather than place it on his head as soon as he grabs it
96
Poof, boom, paow, it's like magic
97
With a flash and a BANG the crown disintegrates
98
And falls from the Earth from which it came
99
It's done
100
Ain't gonna be no more kings
101
Be wary of any man that claims
102
Because deep down he claims onto the need for power
103
But reality he's a coward
104
Ultimately he's scared to die
105
And sometimes so am I
106
But when I'm in tune with the most high
107
I realise
108
The fear lies in my lack of awareness of the other side
109
Today I know that we are the same
110
Are the same, you and I
111
Different kind of skin, different set of eyes
112
Two different minds, but only one God
113
(It's only one God nigga)
114
It's for all the kings
115
Cause deep down I know every pore just wanna be loved
