Kings Never Die 歌词
Chorus: Gwen Stefani]
Here to stay
Even when Im gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die
[Verse 1: Eminem]
I can hear the drummer drumming
And the trumpets, someones tryna summon someone, I know somethings coming
But Im running from it to be standing at the summit
And plummet, how come it wasnt what I thought it was
Was it, too good to be true?
Have nothing, get it all but too much of it
Then lose it again, did I swallow hallucinogens
Cause if not, where the hell did it go?
Cause here I sit in Lucifer’s den by the dutch oven
Just choosing to sin
Even if it means Im selling my soul, just to be the undisputed again
Do whatever I gotta do just to win
Cause I got this motherfucking cloud over my head
Crown around it, thorns on it
Cracks in it, bet you morons didnt
Think Id be back, did ya?
How bout that I’m somehow now back to the underdog
But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is something I never bow-wowd at
I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, its a love-hate
But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt
Even when you bitches are counting me out, and I appear to be down for the count
Only time I ever been out and about is driving around town with my fucking whereabouts in a doubt
Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but Im not a quitter
Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up
Spit on, shit on, stepped on, but kept going
Im tryna be headstrong but it feels like I slept on my neck wrong
Cause youre moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?
Cause someone told me that
(Kings never die)
[Verse 2: Eminem]
Dont give me that sob story liar, dont preach to the choir
You aint never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep
Nobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer
Wouldnt even take shit into consideration
Obliterate anyone in the way
I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to show out on a track with me
But itd actually have to be a fucking blowout to get me to retire
Tell these new artists that kings never die
I know shit has changed in this age, fuck a Twitter page
Did it just say Ive been upstaged?
Why am I online? Its driving me crazy
Im riding shotgun tryna get a gauge
Almost hot, but Im not gonna conform
With a stage pass and this shit
And opinions sway, I can hear them say
If I stay passionate maybe I can stay Jay miraculous
Comeback as if I went away
But detractors just say so much for the Renegade
Someones gonna make me blow my composure
Here I go again, center stage and I feel like Im in a cage
Some want a champion to fall
I still wonder why I laugh at em, cause why care when Im awesome?
Fuck what these cynics say
Just goes to show that when my backs against the wall
And Im under attack again, that Ill act as if Im posted up
With this pent up rage, cause all these plaques in my office
On the floor stacked against the door
Are they just metaphors for the odds of when you comin back again?
Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards
And trophies just dont mean jack anymore
If Im here today and gone tomorrow
And Im not gonna be
[Chorus: Gwen Stefani]
Here to stay
Even when Im gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die
[Verse 3: Eminem]
I want it, Im coming to get it
So you son of a bitches dont duck you’re gonna get Riddick Bowe’d
Criticsll end up in critical, think your shit is dope all youre gonna get is smoked then
And Im not stopping until Im top again, all alone and on a throne
Like a token of respect, or a homage poem, or an ode Ive been owed
Tossed in the air by my own arm, and launched so hard I broke my collarbone
And when its my time to go, Im still not leaving
Stop for no one, I dont know but Ive been told an obstacle that
Blocks your road, knock it over, time to go for that pot of gold, cause
[Bridge: Eminem]
They say kings never die
Just ask Jam Master Jay
They just grow wings and they fly
So, hands up, reach for the sky
Try to hold up and prolong these moments
Cause in a blink of an eye
Theyll be over
[Verse 4: Eminem]
Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur
And ensure that nobodys ever gonna be what you were
So before youre leaving this Earth
You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk
Deacon of words, syllable genius at work
Plus Im thinking that theyre mistaking my kindness for weakness, distill it with meanness
I went from powdered milk to Purina
To flipping burgers on the grill for some peanuts
To Gilberts to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers
I made it to the silverscreen where Rockys still what the theme is
Khalil on the beat cause making the beat ain’t the same feeling to me as killing the beat
So fulfilling to me is what filling a seat is
That sound, vomit, thirst and how common underground commons eat
Outsider stomach growl, throbbing hunger
Out-rhyming everyone, God just give me one shot
I swear that I wont let you down
Imma be around forever, entertain even in the ground
You aint never gonna hear me say I aint
