lyrics

The King

Teeth kicked in, dirty name, no luck
Didn't feel right down, so I got back up

Shotgun battering ram to your door
You never saw a law-breaking Johnny Law like me before

One bad trip and the wheels fall off
But the paint still shines and the engine's hot
I got a vendetta, they better learn to atone,
Cause the spectre is haunting and death's coming home

The king is coming home
So vacate the throne
The king is coming home
So vacate the throne
Fire in his bones
And made out of stone
The king is coming home
So vacate the throne

With the money coming in, I'll be coming up on a win, with golden teeth up on my grin and dirty knees above my shins
You are servants of a place, not dictated by your space
You have gone and lost the race and landed flat upon your face
I am furnished, like a mansion, with scars, but still handsome
The king keeps the coffer, the jester keeps dancing
So heed what I say and I said you can't stay
As you head for the door, be sure you don't look my way

The king is coming home
So vacate the throne
The king is coming home
So vacate the throne
Fire in his bones
And made out of stone
The king is coming home
So vacate the throne
