The Kingdom
(The kingdom) we built this city from a lot
More than rock 'n' roll (The kingdom)
From way down in the soul
Dig deep and you can feel it (The kingdom)
Covered in the blood from the
Floor to the ceiling (The kingdom)
I can feel it in the spirit
When you know you just know (The kingdom)
All on my back bone weighing me down
(The kingdom)
But I got a message for thine enemies
Boy, you know we run this town
When the walls of Jericho
(The kingdom) tumble down to the sea
We rise up like sons of man
(The kingdom) screaming victory (We rise up)
Yeah, though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
(The kingdom) whom shall I fear?
If thine is the kingdom
(The kingdom) , then mine is the kingdom
(The kingdom)
The wicked are many and they travel in droves
(The kingdom) and if you don't know
You better guard your soul (The kingdom)
Cursed are the plenty when they lose control
(The kingdom)
That's why I keep my go-getter with me
Everywhere I go (The kingdom)
All on my back bone weighing me down
(The kingdom)
But I got a message for thine enemies
Boy, you know we run this town
When the walls of Jericho
(The kingdom) tumble down to the sea
We rise up like sons of man
(The kingdom) screaming victory (We rise up)
Yeah, though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
(The kingdom) whom shall I fear?
If thine is the kingdom
(The kingdom) , then mine is the kingdom
(The kingdom)
In a game where they barter sex for success
Where real niggas voices get suppressed
And being too urban get you blackballed
I’m still here with my word
And my black balls
And they black as Michael Blackson
What would you do for that lights, camera
Action? To be a star, 6 figure car
Now wait in line outside that bar
'Cause ain’t no price on my manhood
Shit, you gave yours away
Like some canned goods
Now in the mirror, bro, you can’t look
And even with the millions
You a straight hook
Meanwhile, my soul still intact
If God got my back then no
One can stand against this
Raise my sword to sky
Victory is mine, enamigos are defenseless
When the walls of Jericho
(The kingdom) tumble down to the sea
We rise up like sons of man
(The kingdom) screaming victory (We rise up)
Yeah, though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
(The kingdom) whom shall I fear?
If thine is the kingdom
(The kingdom) , then mine is the kingdom
The kingdom the kingdom
