Kings (feat. Ryan) - Willie Picasso

Can't stop, won't stop Can't stop, won't stop Workin', know one thing for certain I woke up this morning feelin' like a different person My path is leadin' to progression, tryna get to perfect Malcolm X, with the chopper, lookin' out the curtains, uh It was each and every day and night I had to fight and turn the fear into a source of might The source of light inside my spirit looked like dynamite I think I may, I think I might take 'em out of sight I was the runt of the litter, now my fangs bigger And my legs quicker I had to jump into the pit and swing my elbows Became the one who held the torch the day that hell froze Burnin' till my name rang bells so When it all comes down, will you give it up? And if you do it, how the hell should I know? Least I know how that feels, I'll be keepin' shit real If you don't get dark, then you'll never glow They told her to hold to the window Least I know how that feels, I'll be keepin' shit real They wanted me to break, wanted me to quit Wanted me to die and be done with it But I got my second wind The real bill, I could never be a counterfeit Look, make 'em listen now Things be lookin' little different where I'm sittin' now Never figured I'd end up in this position At the same time feelin' like forever I been spittin' out the same rhymes Never take a back seat Treat the session like a track meet The way I'm laughin' at these haters who gon' catch me Black cat, evolution of the black sheep 'Cause I've been goin', how it happened, don't ask me Resurrected, redirected on a new scale Kill the game, guess they'll have to write a new will In the end I never lose, you know me too well Go against me playa, you won't do well When it all comes down, will you give it up? And if you do it, how the hell should I know? Least I know how that feels, I'll be keepin' shit real If you don't get dark, then you'll never glow They told her to hold to the window Least I know how that feels, I'll be keepin' shit real Ooh, yeah! Everybody says I'm better off dead! But what they really mean is life just a dream When it all comes down, will you give it up? And if you do it, how the hell should I know? Least I know how that feels, I'll be keepin' shit real If you don't get dark, then you'll never glow They told her to hold to the window Least I know how that feels, I'll be keepin' shit real

Oh girl, this boat is sinking There's no sea left for me And how the sky gets heavy When you are underneath it! Oh. I want to sail away from here. And god. He came down down down down down down down down And said (down down down down down down down down) Nothing (down down down down down down down down) He rolled up, asked him what he was sippin' on He said lean, You want to hit it, dawg? That's the same stuff Weezy's sippin' huh? And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard, Yup yup five a bone When he passed him that Styrofoam the Easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before Finally got to see what all the hype was on And then he took a sip, sittin' in the Lincoln thinkin' he was pimpin' as he listen To the system Little did he know that it was just as addictive as bass Not the kind of hit from the kick drum Hot box, let the bass bump Take it to the face, gulp Months later the use went up Every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff But Goddamn he loved that feelin' Purple rain coated in the throat Just so healin' Medicine alleviate the sickness Liquid affix and it comes with a cost Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin' Trying to escape the skin that barely fit him Gone, get another bottle just to get a couple swallows Headed towards the bottom couldn't get off it Didn't even think he had a problem Though he couldn't sleep without gettin' nauseous Room spinnin', Thinkin' he might've sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup His eyelids closed shut Sat back in the chair clutchin' that cup Girlfriend came and a couple hours later said his name shim but he never got up He never got up, he never got up We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us It won't be us, it won't be us, it won't be us Nah, it won't be us Oh girl, this boat is sinking There's no sea left for me And how the sky gets heavy When you are underneath it! Oh. I want to sail away from here. And god. He came down down down down down down down down And said (down down down down down down down down) Nothing (down down down down down down down down) He just wanted to act like them He just wanted to rap like him Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects that we have on these kids Blunt passed, ash in a tin, pack being pushed, harassed by the feds The fact of it is most people that rap like this Talkin' about some shit they haven't lived Surprise, you know the drill Trapped in a box, declined record sales Follow the formula violence, drugs, and, sex sells So we try to sound like someone else This is not Californication There's no way to glorify this pavement Syrup, Percocet, and an eighth a day will leave you Broke, depressed, and emotionally vacant Despite how Lil Wayne lives It's not conducive to being creative And I know 'cause he's my favorite And I know 'cause I was off that same mix Rationalize the shit that I'd try after I listen to dedication But he's an alien, I'd sip that shit, pass out or play Playstation Months later I'm in the same place No music made, feeling like a failure And trust me it's not dope to be 25 and move back to your parent's basement I've seen my people's dreams die I've seen what they can be denied And "weeds not a drug" - that's denial Groundhog Day life repeat each time I've seen Oxycontin take three lives I grew up with them, we used to chief dimes I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside Cheatin' and lyin' Friendship cease, no peace in the mind Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces inside Broken, hopeless, headed nowhere Only motivation for what the dealer's supplying That rush, that drug, that dope Those pills, that crumb, that roach Thinkin' I would never do that, not that drug And growing up nobody ever does Until you're stuck, lookin' in the mirror like I can't believe what I've become Swore I was gonna be someone And growing up everyone always does We sell our dreams and our potential To escape through that buzz Just keep me up, keep me up Hollywood here we come Oh girl this boat is sinking There's no sea left for me And how the sky gets heavy When you are underneath it Oh, I want to sail away from here And god. He came down down down down down down down And said Nothing

Could we take this life a little slower than we used to Than we used to Are my eyes More like story tellers of what's past Are my eyes The triggers of a story that won't last Feels in the path of a past storm Emotions of the past got me transformed You're back in the game but summer is over Warn me when the water is getting warmer Could we take this life a little slower than we used to Than we used to Please don't open This old folder Files unspoken So much colder Chills in my back give me fevers Those pictures of the past, is it over? Placed me in a frame, summer is colder Warn me when your skin is getting warmer Can we live this life a little closer like we used to Than we used to Can you open This new folder Files unwritten Let me write them

Am I made of paper Cause I tear so easily Am I made of vapor Because I disappear Do I have to have a reason For anything I feel Just be glad I'm real Glad I'm real Am I real Are you made of lead paint A bulletproof Picasso All the virgin saints Put you here to care for me I don't need a reason For anything I feel Just be glad I say what I mean And mean what I say to you We don't need a reason For anything we feel We don't need a reason Picasso's at the wheel So roll that top down, hell with this town Leave our bags behind We don't need a reason Cause I got you, and you got me tonight (Cause I got you, and you got me tonight) Did you ever see the waves break Into a million pieces Or stay awake With someone who was dying You don't need to tell me Anything at all I'm just glad you're here Glad you're real Are you real Am I made of timber Cause I'm on fire Will you remember Tonight for very long You don't need to sell me On anything at all Just say what you mean And mean what you say to me We don't need a reason For anything we feel We don't need a reason Picasso's at the wheel So roll that top down, hell with this town Leave our bags behind We don't need a reason Cause I got you, and you got me tonight Amber waves of grain Fly by highway lanes Waited for this change Seems like my entire life If only the good die young We'll outlast everyone For some of the things we've done And we've just begun We don't need a reason For anything we feel We don't need a reason Picasso's at the wheel So roll that top down, hell with this town Leave our bags behind We don't need a reason Cause I got you, and you got me tonight Woah-oh oh Oh-oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh You got me tonight You got me tonight You got me Tonight

Oh tu me manques mon amour Toujours toujours Dat ze moet niezen als ze lacht Ze was de stilste van de klas Toen de spiegel nog een jongen zag Een mensenkind Waar heb je op gewacht Hoe heet het wat je vindt Wie denk je dat je bent Altijd blijft Dat ze schrijft en alle vogelnamen kent En ze danst in de keuken In haar pyjama Fabelachtig eenzaam als de maan Ze zingt over liefde De kat heet Picasso En alles heeft een reden Ze gelooft niet zo erg in wonderen Dus ze bidt niet echt Brand een kaarsje in de kerk Voor de mensen op haar werk En ergens valt een ster Lieve Heer Als het mag zorg voor Picasso op een dag En ze danst in de keuken In haar pyjama Fabelachtig eenzaam als de maan Ze zingt over liefde De kat heet Picasso En alles heeft een reden Een mensenkind En ze danst in de keuken In haar pyjama Fabelachtig eenzaam als de maan Ze zingt over liefde De kat heet Picasso En alles heeft een reden
