Lyrics
0:26Down with the king for years about ten of 'em
0:29Recruiting suckers Mac and Mike and makin' men of 'em
0:31Tears and fears for my peers they rippin'
0:33You think that it is it is if not it isn't
0:36Race for the border my daughter 'cause beats you're bangin' out
0:38Jeeps rockin' beats in the streets when there's time for hangin' out
0:41Gather or rather form a circle around a loud
0:43'Cause brothers or others could never ever rock a crowd
0:46Is it because he's runnin' off with the mouth
0:48Or was he really clearly tryin' to play a ni**a out
0:51Nope shut him down the king with a crown
0:53'Cause all you wanna be is dicky down
0:56Get down with the king
0:58Get down with the king
1:00Get down with the king
1:03Get down with the king
1:05Get down with the king
1:08Get down with the king
1:11Get down with the king
1:13Get down with the king king
1:18Two years ago a friend of mine
1:20Asked me to say some MC rhymes
1:23So I said this rhyme I'm about to say
1:25The rhyme was meeca and it went this way
1:28Wrecka lecka mecca mic check on the windmill skills
1:31Mac distracts wearing Godfather hats
1:33It's okay to parlay to fortee better
1:35Tell 'em my ni**a made a sweater tougher than leather
1:38Swing another Rodney King thing in our right
1:40But just like the white one I get no respect
1:43Money stay awake 'cause them other niggas are fake
1:45From Hollis to the Becon now your dumb a** is leakin'
1:48C L and Run DMC so rush it
1:51Big time way before Hammer got to touch it
1:53Remember the faces in all types of places
1:55Look Ma no shoelaces and I'm
1:57Get down with the king
2:00Get down with the king
2:02Get down with the king
2:05Get down with the king
2:08Get down with the king
2:10Get down with the king
2:12Get down with the king
2:15Get down with the king king
2:18I'm takin' the tours I'm wreckin' the land
2:20I keep it hardcore because it's d**e man
2:23These are the roughest toughest words I ever wrote down
2:25Not mean for a hoe like a slow jam check it
2:28Sucka emcees could never swing with D
2:30Because of all the things that I bring with me
2:33Only G O D could be a king to me
2:35And if the G O D be in me then the king I be
2:38The microphone is granted when it's handed to me
2:40I was planted on this planet and I plan to emcee
2:43The emcee fiends only seem to agree
2:45That I rock all the world and the society
2:48I rages on the stages with a tune of verse
2:50I get praises from these pages to the universe
2:53My voice is raw my lyrics is law
2:55I keep it hardcore like you never saw
2:57Get down with the king
3:00Get down with the king
3:03Get down with the king
3:05Get down with the king
3:08Get down with the king
3:10Get down with the king
3:13Get down with the king
3:15Get down with the king king
3:18I'm the man you see in the place to be
3:20I went to John Jay University
3:22And since kindergarten I acquired the knowledge
3:25And after twelve grade I went straight to college
3:28Down with the kings on the mic a full swinger
3:31The P to the R not an R n' B singer
3:33The R to the U N D MC'n
3:35The fly human beings tonight I hold the key and
3:38Flowin' with the funk track here to soul brother black
3:41Pick up the bass better yet leave a space
3:43So let me put my big black on in to the early mornin'
3:47Had skins doanin'
3:48Mecca yo you want the mecca
3:50I'll make a funky beat so we can blow check it out
3:53Pete Rock's the beat knock put you in a headlock
3:56And now all the outty out flock is down with the king
3:59Get down with the king
4:00Get down with the king
4:02Get down with the king
4:05Get down with the king
4:07Get down with the king
4:10Get down with the king
