Down With the King - Intellectual

[Intro]

Down with the king, the king, the king, the king, the king

The king, the king, the king, the king, the king

The king, the king, the king, the king, the king, the king

The king, the king, d-down with the king

[Verse 1]

Down with the king for years, about ten of 'em

Recruitin' minds with the mic and makin' men of 'em

Tears and fears for my peers, they risen

You think that it is, it is, if not, it isn't

Race for the sun 'cause we in it, lyrics I'm bangin' out

Jeeps rockin' beats in the street when there's time for hangin' out

Gather, or rather form a circle around a loud

Because brothers or others could never ever rock a crowd

Is it because he runnin' off with the mouth

Or was he really clearly tryna play me for some clout?

Nope, shut him down, the king with a crown

'Cause everybody wanna get down

[Chorus]

Down with the king, the king

[Verse 2]

Two years ago, a friend of mine

Asked me to say some MC rhymes

So I said this rhyme I'm about to say

The rhyme was mecca, and then it went this way

Recollect a mecca mic check on the windmill skills

Mac distracts, wearing Godfather hats

It's okay to parlay to forte better

Tell 'em that I could knit a sweater tougher than leather

Swing another left and right thing and I'll wreck

But just like the weak one, I gets no respect

Money stay awake 'cause these other cats is fake

From Hollis to the Beacon, they be quiet when we speakin'

CL and Run-DMC, so rush it

Big-time weight before Hammer got to touch it

Remember the faces in all types of places

Look, Ma, no shoelaces and I'm

[Chorus]

Down with the king, the king

[Verse 3]

I'm takin' the tours, I'm wreckin' the land

I keep it hardcore 'cause it's dope, man

These are the roughest toughest words I ever wrote down

Not meant for your feelings like a slow jam, check it

Sucker MC's could never swing with D

Because of all the things that I bring with me

Only G-O-D could be a king to me

And if G-O-D be in me, then the king I'll be

The microphone is branded when it's handed to me

I was planted on this planet and I plan to MC

The MC fiends only seem to agree

That I rock all the world and the society

Outrageous on the stages with a tune of verse

I give praises from these pages to the universe

My voice is raw, my lyrics is law

I keep it hardcore like you never saw

[Chorus]

Down with the king, the king

[Verse 4]

I'm the man, you see, in the place to be

I want to rock the whole university

And since kindergarten, I acquired the knowledge

And after twelfth grade, I went straight to college

Now I'm with the kings on the mic, a full swinger

The P to the R, not a R&B singer

The R to the U-N-D-MC'n

The fly human beings, tonight I hold the key and

Flowin' with the funk track, here to soul brother black

Pick up the bass, better yet, leave a space

So let me get my beat knock, turn it on until the early mornin'

Had the kids yawnin'

Mecca? Yo, you want the mecca? Yo

I'll make a funky beat so we can blow, check it out

Pete Rock's the beat knock, put you in a headlock

And now all the yadda yadda wanna flock 'cause I'm down with the kings

[Outro]

Down with the king, the king, the king, the king, the king

The king, the king, the king, the king, the king

The king, the king, the king, the king, the king, the king

The king, the king, d-down with the king
