I’ve been feeling like
Royalty, and to the NE family
It’s nothing but loyalty. We’re traveling
In chariots. Welcome to my palace
Where we’re all kings and queens, there’s infinite
Resources, so y’all could eat well
Yeah, y’all could drink well. Bring the trumpets and the
Horns in ‘cause this is celebration
Of life. I’ve been feeling like
Royalty, and to the NE fans
We thank y’all for the loyalty. We’re traveling
In chariots like it’s Battlestar Galactica
Interdimensional beings, there’s infinite
Resources, so y’all could live well
Yeah, y’all could sleep well. Bring the trumpets and the
Horns in ‘cause this is celebration
Of life
[Verse 1: Anthony Cruz (AKA A-Butta)]
I’ve been feeling like
A fresh fade on a warm summer day
Embracing the Sun’s rays, strutting with my
Brand-new kicks on—look at ‘em
Exclusive. My metaphysical
Aura’s elusive. Who knew a little spic
From Harlem would grow up to be something? I did
And I don’t need nothing. No attention
No recognition. Just mental
Perception, awareness, and wisdom
Oh, and pardon my schizo flow. I’m so
Bored of the same old, same old—sound like garbage out of
Shithole—and this goes to those who’ve switched forward
Smoking kush out of backwood, getting Doogie
Howsered, getting Boogie Nighted
Light them bogies on a project rooftop
Staring out into the skyline, a bastard in
The moonlight, waiting for my maker
Dressed in all black like The Undertaker
Like my brother from Jamaica, chilling
Royal shit

[Verse 2: Agu (AKA Mr. Voodoo)]
Yeah, I’m
Potent just like a powerful
Force that’s driven by ancient spirits of
Potion. You could smoke, sniff, and swig
‘Til you faint and delirious. This ain’t just
Lyrics, it’s dark-side energy, ancient
Mysterious, straight from serious. Some call it the
Three-six, but, really, it’s the G affixed in my DNA
Helix creating something curious
He exist between the suffix and the
Prefix, he kicks dark matter density
Diction like friction between
Tree sticks—watch sparks scatter from the intensity
Let’s start a ritual for the 21st
Century to depart from this pitiful
Five-sensory penitentiary and eventually
Embark extradimensionally. I’m like a
Shamanic tribesman prescribing sonics on the side
Then take a bite and feel the vibration, third eye
Awakening, it’s dilating. What I write is
Libation, my text hex—see the syllabics’
Striations. When it flex, it spells “annihilation”
A lion waiting, bring the heat to your house, feet on
Your couch, straight violating. Fresh lyrics and
Beats, I’m all about, so why y’all hating? I’m
Royalty

[Verse 3: Swigga (AKA L-Swift)]
Similar to the pharaohs of
Egypt, our pyramids laced, our women are queens
Even our peasants are straight, they stunt on other niggas’
Peasants. We are treble and bass, and they’re knowing
We move at an incredible pace, so they try to keep up
But not all of ‘em do, but we thank you for
The years you gave loyalty through, but if you had to move
On, we ain’t salty with you. Just remember when you was
Hungry and we offered up food. Yeah, we gave you a
Feast, you was able to eat, and we turned your cold
Days into eighty degrees. Yeah, we made it complete
We were slaved to release, then we left with our
Masters—now ain’t that a beach? Now it’s royalty
Statements and cult followings and love ire-
-gardless of what’s popular in the club. This is
Timeless. I might wallow into the pub, rewind
This and get rounds, pounds, and hugs. Ooh!
