[Gwen Stefani]. Here to stay. Even when I'm gone. When I close my eyes. Through the passage of time. Kings never die. [Eminem]. I can hear the drummers drumming. And the trumpets someone's tryna summon someone. I know something's coming. But I'm running from it to be standing at the summit. And plummet how come it wasn't what I thought it was. Was it too good to be true?. Have nothing get it all but too much of it. Then lose it again then I swallow hallucinogens. Cause if not where the hell did it go?. Cause here I sit in Lucifer's den by the dutch oven. Just choosing to sin. Even if it means I'm selling my soul. Just to be the undisputed again. Do whatever I gotta do just to win. Cause I got this motherfucking cloud over my head. Crown around it thorns on it. Cracks in it bet you morons didn't. Think I'd be back did ya?. How 'bout that I'm somehow now back to the underdog. But no matter how loud that I bark. This sport is something I never bow-wow'd at. I complain about the game I shout and I pout. It's a love-hate. But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt. Even when you bitches are counting me out. And I appear to be down for the count. Only time I ever been out. And about is driving around town. With my fucking whereabouts in a doubt cause. I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here. But I'm not a quitter. Gotta get up give it all I got or give up. Spit or shit or stepped on but kept going. I'm tryna be headstrong. But it feels like I slept on my neck wrong. Cause you're moving onto the next. But is the respect gone?. Cause someone told me that. (Kings never die). Don't give me that sob story liar don't preach to the choir. You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep. Nobody ever handed me shit in life not even a flyer. Wouldn't even take shit into consideration. Obliterate anyone in the way. I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features. And try to show out on a track with me. But it'd actually have to be a fucking blowout. To get me to retire. Tell these new artists that kings never die. I know shit has changed in this age fuck a Twitter page. Did just say I've been upstaged?. Why am I online? It's driving me crazy. I'm riding shotgun tryna get a gauge. Almost hot but I'm not running kaboom. With a stage pass and this shit. And opinions sway I can hear them say. If I stay passionate. Maybe I can stay Jay miraculous. Comeback as if I went away. But detractors just say some bullshit for the Renegade. Someone's gonna make me blow my composure. Here I go again to the stage. And I feel like I'm in a cage. They so want a champion to fall. I still wonder why I laugh at 'em. Cause why carry when I'm all. So fuck what these cynics say. Just goes to show that when my back's against the wall. And I'm under attack again I'll act as if I'm posed ta. With this pent up rage. Cause all these plaques in my office. On the floor stacked against the door. Are they just metaphors for the odds of. Me comin' back again. Cause all the accomplishments accolades awards. And trophies just don't mean jack anymore. Cause I'm here today and gone tomorrow. And I'm not gonna be. Here to stay. Even when I'm gone. When I close my eyes. Through the passage of time. Kings never die. I want it I'm coming to get it. So you son of a bitches don't duck. You're gonna get riddick bowed. Critics'll end up in critical. Think your shit is dope. All you're gonna get is smoked then. And I'm not stopping until I'm top again. All alone and on a throne. Like a token of respect or a homage poem. Or an ode I've been on. Tossed in the air by my own arm. And launched so hard I broke my collarbone. And when it's my time to go but I'm still not leaving. Stop for no one I don't know. But I've been told an obstacle that. Blocks your road knock it over. Time to go for that pot of gold cause. They say kings never die. Just ask Jam Master Jay. They just grow wings and they fly. So hands up reach for the sky. Try to hold up and prolong these moments. Cause in a blink of an eye. They'll be over. Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur. And ensure that nobody's ever gonna be what you were. So before you're leaving this Earth. You want people to feel the fury. Of a pure evil cerebral berzerk. Deacon of words syllable genius at work. Plus I'm think that they're mistaking my kindness. For weakness distill it with meanness. I went from powdered milk and Farina. To flippin' burgers on the grill for some peanuts. From Gilbert's to arenas call me Gilbert Arenas. Still appeal to the dreamers. I made it to the silverscreen. But Rocky's still what the theme is. Khalil on the beat cause making the beat. Ain't the same feeling to me as killing the beat is. Or fulfilling to me what filling a seat is. It's that "Sound Bombing" Thirstin' Howl. Common underground Diamond D Outsidaz. Stomach growl throbbing hunger. Out-rhyming everyone God just give me one shot. I swear that I won't let you down. I'mma be around forever and a day. Even in the ground. You ain't ever gonna hear me say I ain't. Here to stay. Even when I'm gone. When I close my eyes. Through the passage of time. Kings never die. Oh oh oh. Oh oh oh. Kings never die
