J. Capital - Ambitions of a King (feat. Kc Young Bone & Kennedy Clark) Lyrics

I used to lay awake and dream
Like better things
Ain't quiet as far away as it seems
Just my ambition as a king
Fareal
I know the struggle ain't as hard as it seems
Just my ambitions as a king

Raised in a hell all around some dirt
We became fallen angels off a fire verse
We lived through the changes in the turf
They hated we could bang it from the birth
But that's another saga on my path to peace and prosper
I'm looking in my mother's eyes thinking of Sinatra
I let her sing the blues and tell her all is forgotten
Switch the tune in the mood to dance with father
You see I am that man now mandatory I stand out
Read the manuscript, real niggaz gon act now
They ain't gon give us shit or give a shit
So get a grip
Those are scratches not a pattern you see all over my crown
I had found wakanda, right inside my family and partnas
Silently recited this poem just as a mantra
I puttin in the universe all that we could accomplish
Speak into existence everything we had promised
Just lean on me to restore balance
The plan is to conjure up plans for us to have it
I used to lay awake and dream for better things
Now I'm living in the moment making new memories

I used to lay awake and dream
Like better things
Ain't quiet as far away as it seems
Just my ambition as a king
Fareal
I know the struggle ain't as hard as it seems
Just my ambitions as a king
Used lay awake and dream
Like better things
Ain't quite as far away as it seems jus my Ambition as a king

I'm dodging obstacles like potholes on a broken road
The trouble from this journey took it's toll on my broken soul
I'm feeling weiry
Eyes teary, but I'm still steerin
Rearview mirror my demons closer than they appearing
Paranoid deamnor Ive seen alot betrayal
The good outweigh the bad but my purpose tippin scale
I'm searching deep in my well
To find the truth in my wishes
Overflow as I sail to manifest how I vision
Ressurecting the righteous that's laying dormet inside us
Swift the blade slicin these vipers trying bite us
Way deeper than science, this power can slay the Giants
Resort may speak volumes but moves get made in silence
See
Eventually the message I've been pressin will be present
In the minds and hearts of all the Kings and Queens and we start steppin
In the right direction regardless of how life test us
Learning from all the lessons and turn it into success
Lay the hatred to rest, spread the love without a measure
Wont be easy but look you can't get no diamond without pressure
It's ironic how we let what stress us block our biggest weapon
Imagine our minds aligned and we get blessed as a collective

I used to lay awake and dream
Like better things
Ain't quiet as far away as it seems
Just my ambition as a king
Fareal
I know the struggle ain't as hard as it seems
Just my ambitions as a king
Used lay awake and dream
Like better things
Ain't quite as far away as it seems jus my Ambition as a king
