It's the king
It's the king
1: John Salley, Girls
K to the I
N to the G
Don't you wanna fly
Through the sky like me?
Heavy in the bank
Fast in the lane
Boom shakalaka when the basket bang
Want some, go get some
Don't see no competition
So biggity back up before I act up
And turn the track up
I'm on the tippity top
They just wishing they could stack up
Oh, so you wanna talk loyalty?
Well, I'm the King
I'm talkin' about royalty
It's the King, look up high
Watch me soarin' through the sky
Run the game overtime
Watch me soarin' through the sky
When they see me say
Watch him, watch by
Watch him, blow your mind
It's the King, look up high
Watch me soarin' through the sky
Watch me soarin' through the sky
2: Chosen Jacobs, John Salley
Excuse me, Mr. King
You again
Yes, sir
Well?
It's pretty clear I've made some bad moves
That you don't trust
That's why I had to show up
I know they call you King
But the patches on the kicks rep Queens when I roll up
Sami got 'em thinkin' I'm deceiving 'em
Deceiving 'em?
Consequently Kira's not believing 'em
Believing 'em
I know that you can't trust lies, I'm a stand up guy
I just want you to believe in me
I'll change the world with designing
Peep the kicks ain't no hotter tamales
And no offense, where we from, Mister King
We can't rock the suit if we forgot everybody
My mom's passed and my stepdad stepped in
Fronting like his problems are something that I did
This notepad I kept in my hands to sketch kicks
Teardrops and dreams only things I'm left with
You feel me?
Verss 3: Chosen Jacobs, John Salley, Chosen Jacobs & John Salley
Look, I understand, young man
My heart goes to your fam, young man
I know you're doing what you can, young man
But the situation got you in a jam, young man
So where you come off thinking you can run off
Lying about what you did throwing everyone off?
Was it not your fault
Or was it just a show-off?
Bad business isn't something I can just blow off
What kind of father would even bother
To let his daughter get caught up
With somebody that can't even be honest, huh?
A true gentleman of honor can't stand solid
On a foundation made of broken promises
Yeah, I'll be honest, Queens's the hometown
I had to stay afloat on these streets, it goes down
You got a lot of talent I can see, don't fold now
I gave you the keys that you need to know now
And I appreciate your advice
But it's like your life is sunlight and my life is midnight
Is that right?
You're on the wrong path get your act right
Said you're was doin' it big
Did you believe in that hype?
At first
What you mean?
Though it seemed like a scheme
'Cause it was
But it wasn't, let me tell you what I mean
Honestly being me, I didn't think I'd make the team
So you lied?
Yeah, just so I could meet you, Mr. King
Your shoes make me feel like I got wings
Like I'm soaring through the air
Oh, just like me
Designer of the year, you just might be
Coming straight from the bridge
Just like Queens
4: Hayward Leach, Kolton Stewart, Bryan Terrell Clark
Do you not really know who he is?
Huh? 'Cause if you did, you wouldn't be cheering
People, hold your applause, he's a liar
He's a fraud
Did you really think this guy was a designer?
Oh, my gosh
You think he made a masterpiece?
That's sad to me
It looks more like a tragedy
Is there not, like, a million
Other sneakers we would rather see?
It's sad that somebody tries
To get over and cashin' all the Kings fortune
You not learn from his last scam
No need to show him love
He's deceiving, see his bluff
Leaving Queens
There's no way I'll let him keep us in this dump
Huh? Zelly, Stacy?
What is going on?
5: John Salley, Bryan Terrell Clark, Chosen Jacobs
Trey, is it?
Yeah
I'm Darius King
Okay
Now there seems to be a mix-up in between these teens
Look, I know how parenting can be
But these two, I tell you
They got clearly blurred vision
When they're seeing things
'Cause I'm from Queens
And where you start doesn't mean you can't achieve dreams
Talent takes you where you wanna be
You get me?
Oh, now I see what's going on
Wow, El you made that?
I just don't understand why you never showed me
Look, I know I shouldn't have lied
My mother took pride in being honest all the time
And If I let her down then it's nobody's fault but mine
From my heart, I sincerely apologize
She'd be proud to say, "That's my boy"
Kira, Mr. King, your belief in me
Shows me I was never just a stock boy
I just learned something
Never taught to get some air
Don't leave the ground to be someone that you're not
Be yourself, feels good to be yourself
Feels good
El, I didn't know
But now I understand
I could've been a better man
Like when your mother was here
I was better then
But I believe late is better than never, man
Second chance, huh?
Second chance, son?
Look, I got you
'Cause everyone deserves a second chance
I don't mean to step in and bother
But, El, I'm here to extend you an offer
Before I do, is there anything else
You would like say before we become partners?
