Kings

/

about

From start to finish this song took about 3-4 hours to make. That includes writing and recording the vocals, as well as producing the beat.

The song is about my current situation, and the internal struggles that occur when you're in this situation.

lyrics

Kings are bleeding blue blood
I’m still wearing my hood
Still baring my teeth
While they’re paying their fees
Getting stuck in the mud
While they’re kicking my guts
And I’m coughing up blood
But I’m getting back up
Smack smack in my face
They be chasing the ace
While I’m hating the ace
’Cause I’m aching to make
Paper with this
While they’re throwing their fists
And they’re getting in fights
On their private jet flights
And I’m down on the ground
Without a dollar or pound
And I can’t quite get by
So they’re saying goodbye
As soon as they land
They’re back up in the sky
Going out on the town
While I’m down on the ground
Stalking low to the dirt
Blood all over my shirt
Pain all over my brain
And I’m starting to hurt
But I’m still getting up
Still working for work
Still muddling through
Like there’s nothing to do
But I’m not getting paid
I’m still spending my days grinding on plastic
They’re gonna get their ass kicked
They say I’m not working
They’ll leave my city hurting
'Cause shit gets real rough here
When you’re fighting your fears
But your only fears death
And you’re doing your best

Out here working hard
In the unemployment yard
Kings are laughing at us
As we’re missing our bus
On the road there’s loads of money
But see none of it's for us
’Cause we’re toughing it out here
Huddling for warmth
Dying to the cold
But at least we’re being bold
That’s what we tell ourselves
Once forced to live this life
Real struggling with strife
Kings sharpening the knife
Slashing out all the life
In the middle of the night
Pitch black night attack
Hell wants their money back
Get me outta this shack.
Devils out on the road
Running over lil toad
’Nother worker overload
Now there’s more of us alone
Working hard to get back
But they don’t want none of that
’Cause we’re better off this way
Rotting in decay
They pretend to be kings
When all they do is sing
About materialistic things
Their big flashy cars
We’ll show off all our scars
Leave behind all your past
There’s no need to look back
Gotta future in this world
So you gotta get to work
Even though it may hurt
Listen to me friend
It’ll pay off in the end
