00:02They said the king was quiet
00:11They said the king was gone
00:18But the lights just came back on
00:43Thirty summers later, he steps back in the lights
00:46Sold out concrete temple under summer night
00:50Blueprint vinyl sitting on the big box shelf
00:54Same voice that once moved weight
00:56Now moves the wealth
00:58They pointed at the deal and called it selling out
01:01He smiled and said three nights I sold the stadium out
01:05Half a billion poured back like he cleans the slate
01:09While the timeline keeps receipts he can't erase
01:12Something's shifting in the empire
01:21Something's watching from the documents somewhere
01:29The throne is shaking, the freestyles fly
01:33And the puppets still talking while the real ones keep denying
01:37New haircut, new narrative, same old crown
01:41When the king starts rapping again
01:45You already know the walls are coming down
01:55Short man in the federal line
01:58Still mumbling about the drink
02:00Lady with the pink
02:02Still screaming from the brink
02:04Breakfast voice still defending every move he makes
02:08While the academic keeps pointing at the strings he takes
02:12White party pictures under perfect summer glow
02:15Everything curated so the public never knows
02:19But the files keep whispering names in quiet rooms
02:23And the stage keeps getting louder to drown the doom
02:28He said he's the one they can't control
02:31Yeah, every time the pressure rises he grabs the mic and goes
02:36Rebrand, reframe, rewrite the past
02:39But the truth don't need a freestyle
02:41It just needs time to last
02:43The throne is shaking, the freestyles fly
02:47The puppets still talking while the real ones keep denying
02:50New haircut, new narrative, same old crown
02:54When the king starts rapping again
02:59You already know the walls are coming down
03:08The ones who know
03:13Already know
03:16The ones who know
03:24The ones who know
03:38The ones who know
03:42The ones who know
03:43The ones who know
03:43The ones who know
03:44The ones who know
03:44The ones who know
03:44The ones who know
03:44The ones who know
03:44The ones who know
03:44The ones who know, the ones who know, already know.
