Island King Lyrics by Tenelle

This Is X

2020

[Intro: Tenelle]
Island king, I got you
Yeah, you know I got you
Yeah, you know I got you
Hear me now
[Verse 1: Tenelle]
Have you ever heard that untold story?
About my island king who fell in love a foreign
Well, he was never ever satisfied
He was raised on that island vibe
But I'm never gonna water down his glory
It's necessary that my warrior adores me
Please don't take it personal
Problems of a brown skin girl
[Verse 2: Tenelle]
Well, I'm not knockin' on my foreign queens, I love ya
If it's you he loves, then ain't no one above ya
We're a dying breed, and I'm just trying
To preserve our culture and bloodline
So don't take my words and twist them or distort it
Or push that propaganda for them to ignore me
Please don't take it personal
Problems of a brown skin girl
[Chorus: Tenelle]
You never have to worry about how I feel about you
Yeah, you know I got you
Baby, if you just paid attention to my actions every time I'm around you
Yeah, you know I got you
See, I was put on this earth to love ya only and no other
Island king, I got you
You're the missing piece to my puzzle, my best friend, my husband, my lover
And I love you forever
[Verse 3: Spawnbreezie]
Now listen closely, this is how the story goes
I fell in love and gave my heart to someone close I thought was worthy
She tried for change up an island soldier
And tried for keep me gone from mi culture
Then I found a queen who always holds it down
She'd be a queen with or without a crown
Baby, it's you
And I'ma love you forever
Now to my fellow island kings, when you find her
Love her first, and put everything behind her
'Cause she becomes like the pupil in your eyes
Got to protect her from whatever comes inside
To my Queen of the islands I am yours
May we represent like all the ones before us
Let's take it to the world
Forever my brown skin girl
[Chorus: Tenelle & Spawnbreezie]
You never have to worry about how I feel about you
It's not that I worry, love
Baby, if you just paid attention to my actions every time I'm around you
Oh, it never goes unnoticed
See, I was put on this earth to love you only and no other
As you are to me, you complete me
You're the missing piece to my puzzle, my best friend, my husband, my lover
And I love you forever
