Step out of line

Loyalty and the honor and the faith and the family and the money,

no, we never play about

Step out of line, and they taking' you down

The things you desire, they'll never allow

To build you up, they gotta tear you down

And that's why I

Swim with the sharks, I got gills now

Look at my wrist, it got chills now

Big-time

Got two accounts, that's a Swiss now

I got them Ms, I'm so rich now

Switch sides

And the ones that you call your best friends

Them the same ones that be hatin' on you

In the end, no, they never come through

I was all in the mix, never fold

Ten toes down, yeah, I stick to the code

yall switch up, yeah, they broke the mold

To them, it's a lie, but to me, it's a fact

I'm back on my tracks, I put my team on my back

No regrets, I got it out of the mud

Got no time for the fake, and they showed me what it was

I keep it player, you know I am the plug

 

 

[Verse 1]

At the peak of my genesis, transparent messages

All my sentences are smothered in opulence

Burnt and suffered like a feathered Icarus

Most prolific and gifted lyricist

Haters ain't impressed, so I must digress

It's sacrilegious, I am rap-sent

On earth to spit like Malcolm X

And show you all that I am the best

Still at war with myself, all these wars in my head

 

But I do it all for diamonds

I'm back on the map like a diamond

I'm at the peak of my life like a diamond

 

 

 

[Verse 2]

The first three bars I wrote in '07

The same year Jay-Z was a Martian

Now I'm just praying that I see heaven

My music has got me through my darkest

a king in the dark

Writing bars in the stars

And my pen's still the sharpest

My music's for the broken-hearted

Writing poems on the metro

 

 

[Chorus]

All my people doing time for the diamonds

For the diamonds, they just wanna see diamonds

All my people doing time for the diamonds

For the diamonds, they just wanna see diamonds

 

 

 

My skin tougher than brontosaurus armor

Half human, half car, solar flare saga

album the first chapter

I make a new, deadlier species every hour

Most valiant, second son, grandmaster

The way I end emcees, you think I'm the Black Plague

You should be worried if I don't see you as a threat

It's a matter of time before you pay your last respects

I get on beats and I lecture 'em

Because the flows hit like an epinephrine pen

 

 

I walk with the air of a prince, just wait 'til I go home

Don't care 'bout these heirlooms

I care 'bout the hair on the skulls that my dome holds

My soul's old, you don't know what you're askin' for

bro, but it's yours if you want it

It's all up for auction, you must be cautious

you can't put a price on my throne

Took some time, but the king is home

Tell the kingpins that the king is home
