Young King - Mick Jenkins, Malz Monday

I was lost, but now I’m found

Young king without a crown

Catch you when I come back 'round

These niggas too close (Too close)

What is life if you livin' without a purpose

The thought alone of me failing, it makes me nervous

Tryna dodge the distractions, I’m tryna keep it determined

So I been in the booth like a preacher be in sermon

It’s church nigga

I feel like destiny been flirtin'

You get in my way imma wash 'em, get the detergent

You witnessing a legend emergin', tell 'em it’s urgent

I see they tryna set me up, certainly that ain’t workin', uhh

You mess with me, you rest in peace, respectfully

If it ain’t 'bout no money or the family then just let it be

I hop on the beat, it’s a connection, we got chemistry

This is like Walter White cookin' methamphetamine

I been makin' progress but it ain’t all great

I been tryna keep the peace and keep my head on straight

I been cuttin' people off 'cause it been dead on weight

I keep my space 'cause 99% of these niggas fake

I was lost, but now I’m found

Young king without a crown

Catch you when I come back 'round

These niggas too close

They tried to kick me while I’m down

But I got up off the ground

And made it out

Now they clappin' like «Kudos»

I was lost, but now I’m found

Young king without a crown

Catch you when I come back 'round

These niggas too close

They tried to kick me while I’m down

But I got up off the ground

And made it out (Made it out)

Coldest nigga under heaven, oh

People always talk about the bread I-

Tend to find they bread is

Who brought tortilla chips to the feast?

We may never know

In this

Seen all the roles niggas played before

Seen Poitiers before

Seen vanish point that they pay to know

We got the advantage, imma play to grow

Ohh, I’m at Trader Joe’s

In her purse lookin' through my spinach

Really floss, I could use a dentist pronto

Quit the front-o, niggas didn’t really want smoke

I’ll black 'em out, see niggas smile at the gun smoke

Pull back around, they sent him down state with one stroke

The pen is cut-throat

These niggas sucrose

I swear that shit is back in style

Im like «Oh great, it’s filled with new growth»

Too drink this water you gon' have to drown

I was lost, but now I’m found

Young king without a crown

Catch you when I come back 'round

These niggas too close

They tried to kick me while I’m down

But I got up off the ground

And made it out

Now they clappin' like «Kudos»

I was lost, but now I’m found

Young king without a crown

Catch you when I come back 'round

These niggas too close

They tried to kick me while I’m down

But I got up off the ground

And made it out (Made it out)
