Down With the King (feat. Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth)

Reporters clob, producer's job

They wanna be down with the king

Down with the king for years, about ten of 'em

Recruiting suckers, Mac and Mike and making men of 'em

Tears and fears for my peers, they risen

You think that it is, it is, if not, it isn't

Race for the border, my daughter, 'cause beats are banging out

Cheaps rocking beats in the streets and it's time for hanging out

Gather or rather, form a circle around our loud

'Cause brothers or others could never ever rock a crowd

Is it because he's running off with the mouth?

Or was he really clearly trying to play a **** 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 emcee rhymes

So I said this rhyme I'm about to say

The rhyme was Mecca and it went this way

Wrecka, lecka, Mecca, mic check on a windmill skill

Mac the skats wearing god father hats

It's ok to parlay the forte better

Tell her my **** made a sweater tougher than leather

Swing another Rodney King thing and I'll wreck you

Just like the white when I get no respect

Money stay awake 'cause the other **** are fake

From Hollis to the Beacon, now your dumb ass is leaking

CL and Run-DMC so rush it

Big time weight before him, I got to touch it

Remember the faces and all types of places

Look Ma, no shoe laces, and I'm

Down with the kind, the king

Down with the kind, the king

Down with the kind, the king

Down with the kind, the king

Down with the kind, the king

Down with the kind, the king

Down with the kind, the king

Down with the kind, the king

I'm taking the tours, I'm wrecking the land

I'm keep it hardcore 'cause it's dope, man

These are the roughest, toughest words I ever wrote down

Not meant for a hole like a slow jam, check it

Sucker 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 a king I be

The microphone is granted 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-a the world and the society

Outrageous on the stages with a tune of verse

I give praises from the pages to the universe

My voice is raw, my lyrics is law

I keep it hardcore like you never saw, you wanna be

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 J. University

And since kindergarten, I acquired the knowledge

And after 12th grade I went straight to college

Down with the kings, on the mic a full swing

Of the P to the R, not an R&B singer

The R to the U-N D-M-C

And the fly human beings, tonight I hold the key and

Flowing with the funk track, hear the soul brother black

Pick up the pace, better yet, leave the space

So let me put my big black Twinkie on and

Till the early morning, had the skins yawning

Mecca (Yo), you want the Mecca (Yo)

I make a funky beat so we could blow, check it out

Peep rocks the beat and I'll put you in a headlock

And now all the ya da ya flock is, I'm down with the kings

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

Down with the king, the king

Down with the king, the king

Down with the

Down with the

Down with the king, the king

Down with the king, the king

Down with the

Down with the king, the king

Down with the king, the king

Down with the
