Chains
Rings
Belts
Furs
Schemes
War Paint (Shine all my)
Swords
Queens (Shine all my rubies)
We Kings (All my rubies)
We Kings (Gotta make sure they’re glistening)
We Kings
We Kings (Shine all my)
We Kings
We Kings (Shine all my)
We Kings (Shine all my)
We Kings (Shine all my)
Crowns
Shine all my rubies
Gotta make sure they’re glistening
Like in all the movies
Gold don’t get old
And that’s all there’s to it
So you better make sure you’re listening
To who is the truest
We Kings and that’s what we’ll always be
Yeah We Kings and that’s what we’ll always be
And we’ll keep making history
Ye-ea-ea-ea-ah
Offset the economy!!!
Fvck the institution
Just ‘cause I gave away so much gold
"Who am I?"
Mansa Musa
The King of All Kings
My melanin on your conscious
My princess named Scota
Derived the country of Scotland
No traces of Moor
You can't truly be Samurai
Gave other countries our culture
It’s only right we got Santa Ties
Saint Nicholas
Mister Magnificent
What more do you want in a Moor?
Our origins and descendents
We walk on water
Conquerors in our own right
Crucified but we resurrect
Sit next to GOD for your insight
Against all odds
We studied as Gods
Check the kinky hair on Buddha
That's not a mirage
We Kings (Shine all my)
We Kings (Shine all my rubies)
We Kings
We Kings (Shine all my)
We Kings
We Kings (Shine all my)
We Kings (Shine all my)
We Kings (Shine all my)
Gotta vibrate higher
Get in tune with the parts they don’t see
Align philosophies with the ancestors
That developed monarchies
It’s time to
Channel the military mind of Hannibal
Activate the Pineal Gland
So we can obtain what was once intangible
Re-conquer air sea and land
We’re bigger than claiming territory we don’t own
Living for a block to rep
We were the world’s first architects
And advanced the medical field like Imhotep
Time to utilize our influence
And take full advantage of our platforms
If you see another King succeed
Edify him and clap for him
Step into the mind of Marcus Garvey
Unify under one banner
One aim
One mission
All it takes is one to stand up
Return to former glory
Show the world as beings we are supreme
And from now through all eternity
They’ll remember that
We Kings (Shine all my)
We Kings (Shine all my rubies)
We Kings
We Kings (Shine all my)
We Kings
We Kings (Shine all my)
We Kings (Shine all my)
We Kings (Shine all my)

What if?
Man what if?
What if I just go now?
What if there’s a world
Where all we see is new
What if having the throne
Was something more for you
I mean
This was all I wanted when I wanted it
But when you carry it all
You’re bound to get tired of flaunting it
When I’m standing on the shore with the ocean view
Man all they see in blue
I see everything I haven’t seen in Timbuktu
I wanna take a ride
To the other side
I gotta go
Bruh I gotta know
What if I told you there was more to life than gold?
I mean
Would you hear me?
Would you cheer me on? (Would you cheer me on?)
When I leave (When I leave)
We gone make history
Are you ready to be the new King?
Musa!
Man this mystery
I mean it’s killing me
Questioned if it was meant to be
I mean initially
Of sound mind and even braver hearts
Our hunger for the unknown tore our worlds part
Griots time to break the seal of silence
Voyager King the King of Kings
Yep Your Highness
You told me Watch the Throne
I got me Yeezus on
The abdication what the Griots set their Grievance on
The Abdication
Made us King of Two Nations
The Pushing of the lines
Pushed us closer to greatness
We made it to America
Man it’s beautiful
Griots time to break the seal of silence
The Abdication
Made us King of Two Nations
The Pushing of the line
Pushed us closer to greatness
And brother I am proud of ya
I need you to know
You held it down
You held it down
You held it down
Throughout all of my travels I’ve seen a recurring theme
Of Men who have become fixated on their Aspirations of being King
But not with Abubakari
Who painted his vision and made it clear
And set out with 1,000 ships
Across what was then the final frontier
A man of unlimited resources who couldn’t ignore the voices
The open seas were calling him steadily
Conquering them should be his legacy
So never guaranteeing his return
He left a flourishing kingdom
And so began the reign of Musa
Who was chosen to lead them
But even in caravans across miles of burning sands
No trip was more important than the journey of discovering the inner man
A thousand pilgrimages can’t amount to how real it is
To step into your passion
To see the real you
The one behind the mask
And to finally understand the power you have within your own hands
After training your mind to be in tune with the divine
Knowing that your final destination won’t ask for a passport
But you must self identify
See your future
Then reach out and grab for it
I’m Abubakari
Abubakari II
I came here in 1312
I sailed the ocean blue
Call me Mansa Musa
I’m from The Motherland
Richest man period
Of any period
I’m Abubakari
Abubakari II
I came here in 1312
I sailed the ocean blue
Call me Mansa Musa
I’m from The Motherland
Richest man period
Of any period
I’m Abubakari
Abubakari II
I came here in 1312
I sailed the ocean blue
Call me Mansa Musa
I’m from The Motherland
Richest man period
Of any period
I’m Abubakari
Abubakari II
I came here in 1312
I sailed the ocean blue
Call me Mansa Musa
I’m from The Motherland
Richest man period
Of any period

You should know
We are
We are
Royalty
So you ask what’s next
I’m tryna cop me a jet (Cop me a jet)
Cops want me on Rikers Island
Rather cop me an Island
I’m tryna live as a King
Introduce my Woman to Royalty
Treat her just as a Queen
It’s embedded in my DNA
Treat my Woman just as a Queen
It’s embedded in my DNA
Gotta live as a King
Introduce my Woman to Royalty
The Queen the very definition
I'm passenger side I’m getting driven by her ambition
Her melanin where I find my endeavors
My disconnect from the world where the ties get severed
My Medicine my central intelligence
Intellect unparallel GPS of my rhetoric
The prototype the concept her mindset
What's defined as royalty
Yup Your Highness
And from the initial
She sees my potential
Way before the skyline suites was presidential
When I make this Fortune I’m a build your fortress
Constellation I’m a star I'm in awe in orbit
My Dela Ray
The keeper to my sunshine (My Sun)
My Dela Ray
The keeper to my sunshine (My Sun)
Creator of Melanin although it seems ominous
Determination in her I mean the future is promising
We dominant
You should know
We are
We are
Royalty
So you ask what’s next
I’m tryna cop me a jet (Cop me a jet)
Cops want me on Rikers Island
Rather cop me an Island
I’m tryna live as a King
Introduce my Woman to Royalty
Treat her just as a Queen
It’s embedded in my DNA
Treat my Woman just as a Queen
It’s embedded in my DNA
Gotta live as a King
Introduce my Woman to Royalty
I hope my future Son set the precedent
Pure intelligence
Definition of Black Excellence
My son is the cure
Pure medicine
Mike Brown proved the world was sick
Pure Testament
I spit this with conviction
It’s like my pigment is offensive
How you squeeze the trigger plus the victim?
Jury gets defensive
Jeff Roorda the evidence
Bob McCulloch the law
The deadening to Edison
My daughters are the key
Eternal sunshine
Spotless mind
Intellect that you can't deny
Sandra Bland is the Rosa of our generation
We have no Malcolm
So we lose due to poor preparation
A King in the being
Martin Luther We Royalty
Plant the seed
Harvest the dream
Reap where the soil be
A King in the being
Martin Luther it’s Loyalty
Ralph Abernathy
Malcolm X
We Royalty
Ask what’s next
I’m tryna cop me a jet (Cop me a jet)
Cops want me on Rikers Island
Rather cop me an Island
I’m tryna live as a King
Introduce my Woman to Royalty
Treat her just as a Queen
It’s embedded in my DNA
Treat my Woman just as a Queen
It’s embedded in my DNA
Gotta live as a King
Introduce my Woman to Royalty
We’re descendants of nations that had millenniums of independence
Who made structures of great significance before the rest of the world formed a sentence
Before inventions of racial constructs your shade didn’t make a difference
We are the children of light
The Universe’s first dependents
But they’re intimidated by the ramifications of our restoration
Criminalized our Melanin in fear of Genetic Annihilation
So yes they do consider us armed and even fear for their lives
But from Queen Yaa Asantewaa to Assata
To Korryn Gaines we survive
The Revolution won’t be televised
But it will be monetized
One of the immediate solutions
Being more Black Owned Institutions
Invest in ourselves instead of questioning ourselves
Answering the call of our ancestors
Srategizing against our oppressors
No more explanation
Just unapologetic proliferation
Of Pride Power Resistance
And Divine Inspiration
And one day back into the heavens we will ascend
But until that day
We Fight We Live We Win

Live and Love
Love and Live
The simple life
Pop Rocks M&Ms and Mr. Pibb
Before adulting
And figuring out how to balance the bills
Paying Comcast just enough not to interrupt my Netflix and Chills
Mastering the art of living
Maximizing my gains
Laughing at my pain
In slip resistant shoes doin MJ spins dancing in the rain
Team Free Spirit
Even if it comes at a price
If everyday ain’t a highlight reel
Then you ain’t doing it right
Now this is Cheers to the Champagne Wishes
Insane ambition
Nobody’s on our playing field
Tunnel Visioned the competition
Women Consider me Kang of the Chemistry
One whip of the Wand
They call me Lord
Wizardry
Mystically your girl disappear now that’s no mystery
One drop of the pin
You’ll see where her interest be
Legendary swag
Your girl a part of that legacy
Accelerated living
Success a part of that Recipe
I pull up quick to that club
Got a section full of that bub
The women tend to me
‘Cause I’m a King to be
Get my appearance fee then I'm history
Now that's living like King
Mansa Musa
I stone cold stun em when they look at me
I guess I'm Medusa
Frivolous spending outlandish living when I got it I give it
Big spendin Big pimpin
I do it B-I-G if it's written I live it
Big spendin Big pimpin
I do it B-I-G if it's written I live it
Big spendin Big pimpin
I do it B-I-G if it's written I live it
Lifestyle Makeover
Looket I’m Jenny Jones
Takeover I'm ballin’ baby
Yessir I’m Jimmy Jones
All I see is beauty surrounding me
The love that I was looking for
I found in me
Man I love life
Every day feels like Valentine’s
Man I love life
Every day feels like Valentine’s
See my smile (I love life)
I’m with my child (I love life)
I love life so much I made a new one
And she’s always smiling
Picture that
Only time she’ll ever work is when she giving back
Like Philanthropic
We headed to the Tropics
Yeah she International
Yeah she Internat (International)
They gone think she a Diplomat
Wave at the people
You’re a Queen Baby
You’re playing in the stream
Only time they stream is on the internet
And this better than Hi-Def
It’s no stress for you
I’m at my best with you
You make your Mama wanna make another one
All I see is beauty surrounding me
The love that I was looking for
I found in me
Man I love life
Every day feels like Valentine’s
Man I love life
Every day feels like Valentine’s
See my smile (I love life)
I’m with my child (I love life)
More protective of my perspective
Won’t let a single thing worry me
Shook the notion that the current paradigm of paradise is tied to currency
Learn and see
Still stack ends and enjoy it
Profit with a purpose
All with the intent of paying it forward
I endure it
‘Cause Black Wall Street is the destination
We could all play hero a few days like Luke Cage
Mess around a birth a nation
Celebration
Confetti, balloons and even streamers
I’ve never been more wide awake
Even though I’m a dreamer
They told me fly high
So I took over the cockpit
Now I enjoy the sweet life
Because life is a box of chocolates
Man I love life
Every day feels like Valentine’s
Man I love life
Every day feels like Valentine’s
