King to Me

Yeah, okay, the man who showed me how to fight

The same one who took the training wheels off of my bike

Then when I swerved and almost crashed into the neighbor's car

You screamed so loud at me that I fell over the handle bars

And I was scared to make you mad

You were scared that God was 'bout to take away, like, everything you had

What's weird, that certain memories you never forget

I mean, especially the ones that made you upset

Course you know those times we both would regret

When you and mom were fighting, I would go and bury my head

And with a pillow case on it, I could maybe pretend

I'd make it all go away

But after, the only thing that's broken was plates

I know I made my mistakes, I didn't always behave

Slipping out of the house and lying straight to your face

That shit was never okay

The least I'll do is show you respect

But I can never pay back the debt

When you get down, someone's gonna steal your crown

But you'll always be a king to me, and a family

Cause you showed me how, showed me how to be a man

And always had a plan for me, a family

And when my little brother came, he told me you always keep him safe

Cause ain't no one closer in the world that you could replace

So that there will be a day when it's just you and him alone

You need to know that I can treat him okay

Don't wanna think about things in that way

But just know that I understand it

It's me and him against the fucking planet

Playing Madden, I let him be his own man

Up in college, even when my music shit start expanding

I know you're proud to be a parent

Yeah, we talk a lot, that shit apparent

Sometimes it's all good, sometimes it's about Taryn

Either way, you listen to my shit

Always lend a ear for me

Said you work two jobs, 365 a year for me

Now I'm growing up and that shit became so clear to me

Told me that the only thing in life I need to fear is me

Well, the least I'll do is show you respect

But I can never pay back the debt

When you get down, someone's gonna steal your crown

But you'll always be a king to me, and a family

Cause you showed me how, showed me how to be a man

And always had a plan for me, a family

When you get down, I'm gon' lift you up right now

When you get down, I'm gon' lift you up right now

When you get down, I'm gon' lift you up right now

When you get down, it's still gon' be the same

When you get down, someone's gonna steal your crown

But you'll always be a king to me, and a family

Cause you showed me how, showed me how to be a man

And always had a plan for me, a family

When you get down, someone's gonna steal your crown

But you'll always be a king to me, and a family

Cause you showed me how, showed me how to be a man

And always had a plan for me, a family
