Down with the King - 12" Version

Lyrics

Reporters clock, producers jock
 They wanna be down with the King!
 ♪
 Producers die, they wanna be down
 Wanna be down with the King!
 Down with the King for years, about ten of 'em
 Recruiting suckers mackin' mic, and makin' men of 'em
 Tears and fears for my peers, they rippin'
 You think that it is, it is, if not it isn't
 Race for the border my daughter, 'cause beats you're bangin' out
 Jeeps rockin' beats in the streets when there's time for hangin' out
 Gather, or rather form a circle around a loud
 'Cause brothers or others could never ever rock a crowd
 Is it because he's runnin' off with the mouth
 Or was he really clearly tryin' to play a nigga out
 Nope, shut him down, the king with a crown
 'Cause all you wanna be is Diggy Down
 Down with the king
 The King down with the King
 The King down with the King
 The King down with the King
 The King down with the King
 The King down with the King
 The King down with the King
 The King down with the King
 The King
 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 meeca, and 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 my nigga made a sweater tougher than leather
 Swing another Rodney King thing and I'll wreck
 But just like the white one I get no respect
 Money stay awake, 'cause them other niggas are fake
 From Hollis to the Beacon, now your dumb ass is leakin'
 C.L. and Run D.M.C. 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
 Down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King
 I'm takin' the tours, I'm wreckin' the land
 I keep it hardcore because it's dope man
 These are the roughest toughest words I ever wrote down
 Not meant for a ho like a slow jam, check it
 Sucka emcees 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 the G-O-D be in me, then the King I be
 The microphone is branded when it's handed to me
 I was planted on this planet and I plan to emcee
 The emcee 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
 Down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King
 I'm the man you see, in the place to be
 I went to John Jay University
 And since kindergarten I acquired the knowledge
 And after twelve grade I went straight to college
 Down with the kings on the mic, a full swinger
 The P to the R, not an 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 put my big black twinkie on in to the early mornin'
 Had skins yawning'
 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 outty out flock is down with the king
 Down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King down with the King, the king down with the King
 The King down with the King, the king down with the King
 The King down with the King, the king down with the King
 The King
 Down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King down with the King, the King down with the King
 The King down with the
 The King down with the
 The King down with the
 The King
 The King down with the
 The King
 The King down with the
 The King down, the King down with the King
 The King down with the King
 The King
 The King down with the King
 The King
 The King down with the King
 The King down with the King
 The King down with the King
 The King down with the King
