lyrics

so yo kiss stay grilled up
yo wrist stay chilled up
yo bankroll saved up
your bills all paid up
your closet is laced up
a pile full of pay stubs
but you ain’t got the money
for no organizations?
greed and dishonesty
your crown looking wobbly
damn what a sight to see
ain’t no time for apology
all i wanna see is you stepping up
wanna see you on the front line for our war with america
concrete to the face with a knee to his neck
i’m losing my patience
losing respect
pulled up to her house
let off rounds
8 shots to her chest
they lost they life
they lost they breath
i wake up every morning and i fear what’s next
i put a prayer up my people God protect
but besides the press, besides the stress
i’m proud of my flesh
i never would change
i’ll never forget

that i got
black royalty in my bloodline
black royalty just like sunshine
powerful so sometimes
if you play around you can get burned up
look at all these visions we done served up
look at how they learn us

black royalty on my boulevard
they don’t see how good we are
only see how hood we are
might as well run it up
might as well make em think twice
‘fore they gun us up
come and test your luck

black royalty in my waistline
black royalty in his bass
yeah his skin and his face fine
ain’t no time to waste time
all my niggas tryna get better
we locking in and checking in over facetime
black royalty, no apology
black royalty for my prodigy
skin of mahogany
funny how you think you’re superior
while your daughter looking up to me
I’m the one she wanna be
