[Verse 1: Chris Webby]
No retreat, no surrender and no defeat
Enemies surround the walls, they hope to breach
Enemies within already rollin' deep
Lookin' at my throne like it's an open seat
Posin' as a friend to get a closer peek
'Til the moment that I see 'em show their teeth
Here's a higher power, I thought y'all should meet
Leave their bodies so the crows will eat
Been a fair King, been a just King
But admittedly too trusting
I've had snakes slitherin' around
Lookin' at the crown but I know one thing
My gеntle nature doesn't mеan I'm weak and you're
Dead already if you give me reason for it
Fuck the battle, you're about to see a war
And by the end they speakin' through a Ouija Board
Rather rule my land peacefully, spreadin' my love
But I follow a destiny written in blood
And I've called on the prophecy
Lived through the floods and the fires and lightning that's lit up above
Still, I will not capitulate
I will not just sit and wait
I will rule indefinite until infinity, I'll flip a figure eight
Watch 'em imitate while I innovate
I'll incinerate 'em and eliminate
Chop 'em into fishin' bait and fill a lake
With body parts of anybody in the way
As a king, every other chess piece
Got they own agendas and it gets deep
It's a wonder how I even get sleep
Toss and turnin', sweatin' through the bed sheets
But I'm in it way past neck deep
That's the cost paid for the best seats
Slick as Tech N9ne with the technique
I'll protect mine, won't detect these
Multi-syallabic patterns attackin' from every angle that you could not imagine
So, unleash the dragon to witness the passion
To electrify you and cause a reaction
Somewhere in your gut with the punch of a cannon
Double barrel, fuck it, I'm comin' demandin'
That you either bow down or die where you standin'
Just to be sure there ain't no misunderstandin'
[Chorus: Chris Webby]
I spent years with an empire on my mind
Stepped away from my fears
And I left 'em all behind
When I came, watched it fall
And I conquered it all
As I fought through the rise of the tide
You could try but there's nowhere you could hide
[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
All hail Technician
Look at the people, they all yell, "Let's quicken"
Never with evil, a winner be heaven and regal
The enemy steppin' in fecal
They fall, fail, death wishin' (Bow down)
To this hierarchy, I'm artsy, this (Loud sound)
Threw big live parties, vibe gnarly chicks (Crowd 'round)
To get a glimpse of N9na when he's in the element 'cause he is who slay best
You give a simp demeanor pinnin' me irrelevant, you needed to say less
Acceptin' no apology, do not acknowledge me
'Cause I am too paid, yes
No way to try to abuse a vet
Why? Because I am a true apex
Predator, I get the cheddar, love
Etcetera, the clever bruh was never ya
Editor of this kinetic rush
Ain't nobody gonna be 'head of us, pathetic shmucks
Told 'em I'm the zenith
Flowin' N9ne the meanest
Those denyin', he is not talkin'
Oh, the lyin', he's supposed to die in heat below is finding he is God walkin'
King god (Kin God)
Though I know it seems odd (Involved)
With the human being not (Nimrod)
Speakin' Elohim talk (Men dodge)
They don't wanna know the truth
Thinkin' I'm a load of poop
Speakin' divinity, makin' 'em chicken a listen to this and they may wanna blow the coop
They bein' so aloof
What they removin' up outta ya bottom my soldier boot
Born royalty, the people see me and they yellin' (Avé)
I'm the original authentic killa, the King and the G and the others are (Cosplay)
Shinin' bright and I don't need too many mo' around me (Pavé)
Monarchy life bruh, sweet like (Agave)
In my kingdom, anybody thinkin' of comin' against me leavin' (Eyes in tears)
'Cause the record I do against you will be in rotation, word to (Myron Fears)
And on the street side, ain't no need try wakin' up my (Violent peers)
For the record I know that nobody is stupid enough to get at me and trip with the (Tyrant here)
[Chorus: Chris Webby]
I spent years with an empire on my mind
Stepped away from my fears
And I left 'em all behind
When I came, watched it fall
And I conquered it all
As I fought through the rise of the tide
You could try but there's nowhere you could hide
