Get up off of your throne
Ruler of nothing while you're sitting at home
A few Youtube views doesn't get you to blow
Dapping 3 or 4 fans front row of the show
No money, no hotels, it's out of pocket
But the claim is king, man you've gotta stop it
Aim to gain crowns, they remain the same clowns
Obsessed with being king, they ain't own a thing
I understand competitive nature I do
But few can brag that the gold that they wearing is true
I've seen them post at the shows, their jewelry is used
Saw them walking from the bus, their wallet is bust
Wanna take over a scene, well that's alright
Have fun in a little town your whole life
Thinking internationally they've got me overseas
You ain't never seen me settle for crowns
Y'all cats slaves to the crown

-Hook-
Focused on the rings and blings
Y'all forget about the crucial things
Stay keeping it wrong
(The throne suits Ill)

Do you aspire to inspire or retire?
Be a liar or flip scripts, become messiah?
Become a writer, become pariah, become a sire
Live an entire life or lose an empire?
I tire quick of these rappers looking to capture
An imaginary throne, symbol of stature
But the weight of the crown just leads to collapse
Up and comers and killers the title attracts
I'm thinking it's a lack of security
Cats lacking maturity facing obscurity
Some want to be the best, some want to just sit back
Forget rap and try to escape hurriedly
Looking to change the situation
Replace a dark hole with the shiny embrace of fame
And while you change, the people can't relate
And then they want your spot and your head on a plate

-Hook-

I understand the confidence in your work
But a benjamin a beat doesn't equal being a jerk
And 100 doesn't mean that you're worth a cool G
When 10 minutes ago you were giving beats for free
And rappers are pulling the same shite
I'm skipping your show bro, I've gotta work tonight
The king of lipsynch, it's all hype
Rapping over your vocals? You don't deserve the mic
Yeah, and while y'all idly fret
There are folks making records that're hard to forget
Making legacies and catalogs you've gotta collect
Earning respect, never asking for the throne or a check
I'ma stay up in the stu, my time is better spent
Articulating my thoughts, getting better than I've ever been
You can spend your time fighting over meaningless things
The only crown I recognize is Sacramento Kings

-Hook-
