[Intro]
(That's fire)
[Chorus]
Kings are falling every day
And kings are rising just the same
But when will we know who we are?
I see your light, you are my star
[Verse 1: G Herbo]
Oh, brother
Mothers crying, yet another
Murder rate gon' beat its own record every summer
Bullets rainin' on us, flutters, we can't run for cover
And if police ain't pulling guns on us, they just lettin' us suffer
COVID got the schools closed, but they still giving supper
You got rich and let the people down, story of a sucker
I can unify my city, I'm a bad motherfucker
Turnеd frustration into hustle in the path of destruction
I might not go Billboard 'causе I'm bein' too productive
I was clutchin' by the cops and they ain't rush me, I was lucky
It was Wednesday, but I just saw someone kill a n***a Sunday
And derogatory terms, that was all that we learned
Where I'm from, kids dyin' every day
People rioting, we tryna find a better way
And the virus outside, well, so they say
Kings falling to they knees 'cause they bleed and they don't pray, ayy
[Chorus]
Kings are falling every day
And kings are rising just the same
But when will we know who we are?
I see your light, you are my star
[Verse 2: Marcus Black]
Lord bless these lips
Bless the words that flow from 'em, let every syllable hit
I just came to uplift
Jesus, please be a fence for all the young kings tryna make sense
Like, if w're really kings, why we dyin' in the ghetto, tryna exist?
I had a dream, like Martin Luther
All the low things became high and I wrote a new constitution
The children left out were made right like the sound of Miss Betty music
Kosine, let the beat play
They gon' have to press replay
Mannie Fresh, go DJ
I wrote this in my PJs, but I ain't sleep, I'm woke
I don't sink, I float
I don't think, I know
The real kings of the USA, they was brought here on a boat
And hung here on a rope
You ask why we sell dope
[Chorus]
Kings are falling every day
And kings are rising just the same
But when will we know who we are?
I see your light, you are my star
