# Young King **Theme:** Establishing himself in the game, earning respect through intelligence and force **Mood:** Confident, commanding, aggressive ## Lyrics [Intro] Bow down when you see me coming through Young king in the making, that's nothing new Took the crown they said I'd never wear Now they all stop and stare [Verse 1] Eighteen with my own territory locked down Every corner, every block, this is my town Soldiers on the payroll, moving my product clean Youngest boss they ever seen, living every fiend's dream I don't just talk, I execute the plan Built this operation with my own two hands Respect ain't given, it's taken with force Some learned the easy way, others learned the hard course [Chorus] Young king, yeah that's my title now Young king, watch me show you how To build an empire from the ground Young king, I run this town They tried to stop me but I rose above Young king, ruling with an iron glove Try to test me, you'll regret the day Young king here to stay [Verse 2] Got lieutenants twice my age following my lead 'Cause they recognize real when they see I move strategic, every play calculated Never emotional, always concentrated On the next move, the next dollar, the next block Other crews talking tough till they hear the Glock I ain't looking for the war but I'm ready if it comes Protected by my army, protected by my guns [Pre-Chorus] See I learned young how to read the room Separate the real from the fake, the flower from the bloom Charisma got 'em listening, muscle got 'em in line Intelligence got me thinking three steps ahead every time [Chorus] Young king, yeah that's my title now Young king, watch me show you how To build an empire from the ground Young king, I run this town They tried to stop me but I rose above Young king, ruling with an iron glove Try to test me, you'll regret the day Young king here to stay [Bridge] They said a kid like me would end up dead or locked But I move too smart, too fast to get caught While they chasing clout, I'm chasing territory While they telling stories, I'm writing history My mama still don't know the full extent Of the empire her son built, every dollar spent On securing power, building up the ranks Got more money in my safe than in the banks [Verse 3] Rivals plotting but they ain't on my level I see them coming from a mile, playing checkers with the devil While I'm playing chess, moving pieces in the dark They don't even see me till I'm ready to strike hard Young don't mean weak, young don't mean naive I got wisdom beyond years, make believers believe That a kid from nothing could conquer the streets And turn a hustle into history, bow at my feet [Chorus] Young king, yeah that's my title now Young king, watch me show you how To build an empire from the ground Young king, I run this town They tried to stop me but I rose above Young king, ruling with an iron glove Try to test me, you'll regret the day Young king here to stay [Outro] (Crown don't make the king, the king makes the crown) (Young king, young king running this town) (They bow down, they bow down) (Young king, young king, wearing the crown)
