J. Capital - Ambitions of a King (feat. Kennedy Clark) Lyrics

I used to lay awake and dream
Like better things
Ain't quiet as far away as they seems
Just my ambition as a king
Yea
I know the struggle ain't as hard as it seems
Just my ambitions as a king
I Used lay awake and dream
Like better things
Ain't quite as far away as they seem
Jus my ambitions as a king
Fareal
I know the struggle ain't as hard as it seem
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 they seems
Just my ambitions as a king
Yea
I know the struggle ain't as hard as it seems
Just my ambitions as a king
I Used lay awake and dream
Like better things
Ain't quite as far away as they seem
Jus my Ambitions as a king
Fareal
I know the struggle ain't as hard as it seem
Just my ambitions as a king
The pressure of this world had created this pearl
Lying (Lion) Kings tell our Cubs that your father's our brother
Yet somehow within life's runarounds
We lost grip of what a village is and killed each other
Scarred by the cracks in our pride
There's levels to everything when you really analyze
It's never hard as it seems if you plan and strategize
Our kids are Killin shit
It's time we intervent, reinvent then. Minimize
Even if my crown slip can't let it drop over eyes
I see the finish where the mountain side
Is just so rough that it's guaranteed
There is a prize
But victory is still as sweet as Mahalia singing live
Enemies meet defeat
For stepping over the line
We went from dreamin to woke to changing the signs
The rollies prolly don't tick but we know the time
They gon nip pick at ya Hussle if ever it's bonafide lawd
Another leader another reason
For me to never quit keep going and keep believing
I used to lay awake and dream for better things
Now living in the moment making new memories
I used to lay awake and dream
Like better things
Ain't quiet as far away as they seems
Just my ambitions as a king
Uh
I know the struggle ain't as hard as it seems
Just my ambitions as a king
I Used lay awake and dream
Like better things
Ain't quite as far away as they seem
Jus my Ambitions as a king
Fareal
I know the struggle ain't as hard as it seem
Just my ambitions as a king
I Used lay awake and dream
Like better things
Ain't quite as far away as they seem
Jus my Ambitions as a king
