88 King - Kid X
Written by：Bonginkosi Mahlangu/Sithembiso Herimbi
The king
The king
The king has arrived
They can't survive by dropping you
Top six make it cancel five
No chance of finding
Remains just crash dummies
Sleeping on me give 'em the pacifier
Sh*t
I heard 'em ask if I feel I'm past
My prime not at all them
Niggas done jacked my style
Now we all signed
The same on my mac hustle
Just look at how
I styled the game they
Waiting on me to slip up
Little do they know
That I'm the 88 king slash
King of the switch
Up one of the best past
Present and into
The future I swear
I owe it all to my mentors
I'm teargas so I could
Never lose my momentum
This'a new prime that
I'm approaching ufo sh*t
What's a player to
A god player coaching
On my know
It all looking like
I barely know sh*t
Straight face make 'em wonder
If I feel emotion
Keep the cards close to my chest
This the hand of the head case
If you wondering if I even wrote it
Plenty battle scars on
My flesh way beneath the clothing
Looking for different ways
Just to seize the moment
It's 88 king season f**k
Your season homey sh*t
I probably need a season only
And you can ask around town
I can tell you feel
The need to know me
Rap's most prized possession
Sh*t I f**ked the game up
The sound of the crowd you hear
Is no different from
Cries of passion
When you're making love
The same 88 king that you hate
To love rap's most
Prized possession sh*t
I f**ked the game up
The sound of the crowd you hear
Is no different from
Cries of passion
When you're making love
The same 88 king
That you hate to love
They may not say it in words
But their actions might suggest it
Sh*t I set a question that for
Many a night if these rappers
Will ever solve for me
2012 I f**ked around and
Went to fetch the fat
Lady a mic said I want you to
Sing a song for me
Sing a sing for them make sure
That they know it's all from me
This in back in the day
When I was lurking in the shadow
'Til it dawned on me that the game
Needed more from me
We was perping the days away
Living unlawfully
But as I grew I realised
The environment has
Nothing left to offer me
I wanted more from me
Same cats that opened
The door for me
Would turn around
And open the door
And ask the boy to leave
But I ain't tripping
I'm just reminiscing this is
Real life rap if you can't listen
Or respond to me
I maneuver through the system
They can't alter me
Rap's most prized possession sh*t
I f**ked the game up
The sound of the crowd
You hear is no different
From cries of passion
When you're making love the same
88 king that you hate
To love rap's most prized
Possession sh*t
I f**ked the game up the sound of
The crowd you hear is no
Different from cries of
Passion when you're making love
The same 88 king that
You hate to love
They say they want the raps
Again but I'm convinced
They don't really know what they
Want this point I guess
I'm only rapping for my
Day ones who know me
For snapping like crazy before
I came up want me
On my back in the day sh*t
'Fore I went mainstream
Always kinda knew that
I would never need
A day job living with the
Rapping that pays me
The kids look at me
In amazement then
There's the odd few
Who struggle at math
Thinking they can crack
My equation it's that x
They couldn't solve for higher
Grade sh*t my lack of patience
Had my first feeling so sophomore
I'm top floor driven
Started out in the basement
It would be a minute
Fore they ever replace me
I made seven long before
I was named seven on the list now
I 3 quarter pace and
I'm just place setting this is real
Dope not what they selling all
This playtimes while you play second
