[Hook]

(Long live the King!)

We say long live the King!

Tell it! Long live the King!


[Verse 1 - God's Servant]

A-yo I toast to

Boast in the God who is over

All things

He's got the global exposure

Never gets conquered or usurped

No sir, no way, nowhere

Subject to no one

Owner, Lord He's the sovereign controller

Clothed in, robed in, Glorious aura

Source of it all more soul than the solar

Light's more vast than the blast of a nova

Yo who's dope? Well believe that He's doper

And colder, He set the degrees of the polar

This is an ode to Yahweh Jehovah's

God-man Lamb, King Jesus... but hold up

He became lower, behold the

Weight of the world little really but a cross on His shoulders

Died for the far off bringing us closer

Redeemed us for Him by His means

5 solas!

Yo how's He a king if He's in a sepulcher?

True -- but I thought that you knew that he rose up

Raise up, all take the knee

He lives and He reigns and He always will be


[Bridge]

Long live the King!


[Verse 2 - The Ambassador]

Forever this way / forever that way / the One present forever so get your facts straight / He's always winning in that case / He ain't gon' never lose and He'll never tie even with a fat lace / relax hey

I see you up in a rat race / slow down behold now the glory that's in that face / came down but not even death could down Him / He reigns now so now whoever got breath crown Him / we don't understand what a king is it's evident / too messed up by our understanding of president / king's rule -- they ain't havin' it / presidents are always bargaining / arguing with the cabinet / what a king says goes / that's why the seas peeled back when He said back / collapsed when He said close / death grips like wet clothes / but Lazarus shows when Jesus says it has to let go / demons recognize this / this'll mesmerize yes / this'll stretch your mind just like different exercises / we're rappers but we're using rapping to prove / a king don't need a vote just to rule /


[Bridge]

Long live the King!


[Verse 3 - Shai Linne]

Israel, Israel

Our God is the true King

The gods of the nations

They can't tie His shoe strings

So why are they producing

The new themes that you sing

No alibis

You want me to prophecy smooth things?

But I can't cuz in Zion there's a common sense

That too many are relying on their common sense

And I'm convinced that your misplacing your confidence

They plot against the God who invented providence

He's infinite in dominance

Preeminent in prominence

Sovereign

Magnificent

With limitless accomplishments

It's obvious the I-Am doesn't need us

Yet he redeemed us

From Egypt He freed us

So why you salivating wanting to get down with pagans?

Partaking in the surrounding nations abominations

And who is this uncircumcised philistine

Mocking' our God in his songs

Where's the guillotine?

Matter fact

Just gimme a sling and 5 stones

With God homes, that'll impact like cyclones

Babylon's philosophies and methodologies and policies are powerless when it comes to raising dry bones

2 Chronicles 28:22 and 23

What you're hoping in will ruin you

When the Lord brings her back to her senses

The song Israel will sing

Is long live the King!


[Outro - Shai Linne]

Yeah, King Jesus rules forever

From the throne (long live the King!)

On that, Psalm 72, like, know what I mean? (Long live the King!)

The complete fulfillment of the definite covenant (Long live the King!)

No one, Like King Jesus, on the throne
