The Black King Song
By CEO Spoken King
Yes, I know who I am.
I'm a black King.
Yes, I'm more than just a man.
So listen to my story,
Because I'm about to tell it as best as I can.
The world recently started to love me.
From my bronze skin to my afro
From my braids to my dreads that bare many knowledge.
So tell me who from the beginning was actually thinking higher?
Our knowledge helped the world to rise to a higher power.
Many say they see my vision and dreams,
And my aspiration to heal people from a role the world wanted us to play.
But down in the trenches, many people start to think a different way.
Leaving a King with many tears of unforeseen dreams.
Choosing his family over the things God blessed him to have...
To bless the world.
So the question is...
Are you doing the right thing?
Because if God gives you a talent
To bless the world.
He maybe using you to connect with another person across the world.
Too many of us sleep on our talents and dreams
Instead of being woke.
Too many of us drive off of the street of life,
And fall into the ditch of broken promises and dream untold.
The dilemma the black King holds.
So don't stop our growth.
Too many untold dreams lies before my eyes.
I refuse to be another statistic in the world's mind.
Suicide use to be Satan's way to cover my eyes.
Thank you Lord for waking my third eye.
This is why...
Now I can give you many excuses why I failed.
But how many will realize I didn't stay knocked down...
But I rose up time after time.
Lead by the holy spirit and the glory divine.
I know if I keep on pushing,
My prayers of peace and finishing the race.
Will be mine!
This is the black King's song.
This is not your ordinary rhyme.
The true kings walk in the land of the blind with one eye.
We bear scars that hold the ultimate truth.
People say they are afraid of no man,
But are afraid of progression.
The truth is you can never be afraid of what tomorrow will bring.
Just live for today,
Our present,
Because tomorrow is unforeseen.
This is the true thought process of a black King.
We bare many crowns and many rings,
But deep down inside...
This is the song we sing.
Just to hold our royal family up.
So they won't ever have to sink.
