KING SHABAZZ - Black King Lyrics

I'm a black king that's how I see me
Fools talking stuff, they don't want to mess with me
Time to start my reign, that's my decree
I will succeed, ya'll just watch me

I'm a black king that's how I see me
Fools talking stuff, they don't want to mess with me
Time to start my reign, that's my decree
I will succeed, ya'll just watch me

Black history to many is a mystery
Been cleaned from our minds like bad breath with some listorene
So I must intervene, hope you are listening
To this little bit of knowledge they don't teach in history

Like Mansa Musa a very rich black king
With a net worth some will never see
King of mali, definitely one in a million
His full worth around $400 billion

That's crazy though, I never heard of this
There's a king not from egypt with wealth like this
Born in the 1280's died in the 1330's
To see that level of success is reassuring

No detouring, I'm going my way
Mind focused like a woman using pepper spray
I'll protect my dreams, will not cast away
Fall down, get up, and lead the way

I'm a black king that's how I see me
Fools talking stuff, they don't want to mess with me
Time to start my reign, that's my decree
I will succeed, ya'll just watch me

I'm a black king that's how I see me
Fools talking stuff, they don't want to mess with me
Time to start my reign, that's my decree
I will succeed, ya'll just watch me

Black man with power and intelligence
Put words on paper, spit relevance
Got to change the world, leave my mark on it
Look in the mirror, yea that's my opponent

Like King Khama, uplift the people
Tell 'em stand for themselves and be good believers
In their truth and hopes, they can change the world
It only takes one to see a stone as pearl

And with good vibes, then it starts to spread
Like a virus in their body till they're interbred
Then a movement starts, we're on one accord
Folks jump on the bandwagon all aboard!

I'm a black king and that's my role
But I need to know my history as I go
On this journey, to reach my goals
This is my life, time to take control

I'm a black king that's how I see me
Fools talking stuff, they don't want to mess with me
Time to start my reign, that's my decree
I will succeed, ya'll just watch me

I'm a black king that's how I see me
Fools talking stuff, they don't want to mess with me
Time to start my reign, that's my decree
I will succeed, ya'll just watch me

I'm a black king that's how I see me
Fools talking stuff, they don't want to mess with me
Time to start my reign, that's my decree
I will succeed, ya'll just watch me

I'm a black king that's how I see me
Fools talking stuff, they don't want to mess with me
Time to start my reign, that's my decree
I will succeed, ya'll just watch me
