King Me

King Me
by Luke Henley

The hinge on the door squeaks
like the roar of a tiny elephant.
I take a step into the room,
the walls are moist as in a womb
I take a step into the room
the hope lies in the mirrored eye.
The eye lies in the mirrored skull.
The skull lies on the mirrored shoulders
The words are lain across the papyrus
The oath is spread across the buttermilk
I take a step into the room
The walls are bleeding now,
the birth has gone awry
I pull back the covers
I lie in my bed alone
I pull the covers up around my head
I block out all the mirrors
The oath is spread around the fireplace
The words are clumsy now,
dance on flames with a tourettic grace
The hills of the afterlife
The hills of the Elephant
The oaths roll down every hill
The hills of the everlong.
The doorway leads to the hunting ground
I blow my royal bugle call
The foxes nip at my naked heels
The gnashing of the dying boar
The cry of the mirrored elephant
The words are lain across the papyrus
The oath is carved into the door
The door is in the side of the elephant
The oath begins to bleed
The walls begin to coagulate
They distort and they grow fatter at the bottom
They narrow near the ceiling
The egg sacs are filtered through the bouncing light
The egg sacs are filtered through the bouncing light
I blow another call through my regal horn
I kick the foxes about the face
I ride into the hills of the afterlife
I ride into the hills of the Elephant
I cross through the door in the side of the elephant
I ride across the ornate bonework
I ride across the shadowy hills
I ride across the shadowy hills
The oath begins to bleed
The oath begins to bleed.
The hinge on the door squeaks
like the roar of a tiny elephant.
The hinge on the door squeaks
like the roar of a tiny elephant.

King Me - By MC Eric B
=============================

My name is MC Eric B
stand back as I drop the hits
don't want any collateral damage
from my insane verbal blitz

All my rhymes are homegrown original
taking your mind to places
that are strangely metaphysical
they're emotionally nutritious
like your favorite breakfast cereal
and even darker and funnier than
Dave Chappelle's comedy material

My words are my weapon
poetic mental attacks
open your mind and surrender
as you play my tracks

So pop me like an audio blister
just little 1's and 0's flowin through your transistor
more shocking than if I grabbed your ugly mamma and kissed her
my lyrics hit ya harder than a grade school tongue twister

Chorus
=============================
King me now
'cause I rule this game
the world of rap and hip-hop
I have set aflame

I was born to be a player
fame and fortune is my fate
once my songs get into your head
game over, checkmate
=============================

Ain't livin' the thug life
never been arrested or shot
growin up in the 'burbs
is the only street cred that I got

I'm an Internet geek
like on tech support calls
never see me dating supermodels
or Pussycat Dolls

All I need is some wifi
to boot me up
like a stream of Crystal
flowing into a champagne cup

Some critics wanna lock me up
at a mental facility
'cause they just can't handle
my mind blowin' lyrical ability

like how a professor takes a sabbatical
or a doctor an oath hypocratical
I vow to try my very best
to bring you music that is radical

Quick, output me the statistics
so I can fire up my mental heuristics
I'll chart 'em, graph em',
break the figures down
lock all your backdoors and Windows
there's a new rapper in town

Chorus
=============================
King me now
'cause I rule this game
the world of rap and hip-hop
I have set aflame

I was born to be a player
fame and fortune is my fate
once my songs get into your head

King Me

You set up the board and then you waited
For the game to go down the way you played it
All of the little traps you baited
Did not go as you anticipated

I had an answer for everything you tried
King me

You thought I would be your servant and your guide
That's not what I meant when I said "I'm on your side"
King me

You said I was rude when you conceded
But everyone earns the way they're treated
I guess it's a lesson that you needed
Which isn't to say you weren't defeated

I've got an answer for everything you try
King me

Woah, Luke.. must be a long long song song!


KING ME by Dublin Duck Dispensary

We're suburban kids with big ideas
And we're gonna get out of here

Love from your militant working boy
Love from your boy

I trip through this city
Trying to find the noise that's meant for me
But over the sea
I've heard there are melodies and they will king me

Love from your militant working boy
Love from your boy

Geoff, that's awesome. Here are mine:

You've got to be crazy man
If you think you'll stand a chance
In the face of this juggernaut
You will fall before the onslaught of

CHORUS:

King me
You better watch your back, boy
King me
Gonna send you home to mama
King me
When she asks why you're crying say
King me

I'm the man in this neighborhood
And I tell you I will make good
So calm your ass before you wind up dead
Keep your cool or you'll lose your head to

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE

Steakhaus: King Me
--------------------

revelation

in the seat of power
now it's time to hit
the showers


your impotent hit squad
couldn't do their job
oh yeah they could barely sting me

and i will sting back
eat your heart for a snack
when the nation decides to king me



your court's deserted
your feelings hurted
you know which way
the wind is blowin

we're infiltrating
situatin
the power's shiftin

leave your crown in your seat
cause you know i really want it


your impotent army
now works for me
your head they're gonna bring me

so quit your yappin

when they finally kinged me



gnikehtgneibikilyllaeri

King Me

By Steve Durand


If I were a king
Every word I say
Would become the law
All across the land

A golden crown
Upon my head
A jeweled scepter
In my hand

I want every head to bow to me
But I'll settle for a minor monarchy

So, king me, baby
Make my dreams come true

The folks here in my town
Are always bossing me around
But solace can be found
In my fantasy

I'm tired of my role
Always low man on the totem pole
But I'd be living large
If I was the man in charge

If I were a king
Every word I say
Would become the law
All across the land

A golden crown
Upon my head
A jeweled scepter
In my hand

I want every head to bow to me
But I'll settle for a minor monarchy

So, king me, baby
Make my dreams come true

The fine things I demand
Would be produced at my command
Life can be so grand
For a potentate

But no matter how I try
I'm still an ordinary guy
But when you make love to me
It makes me feel like royalty

If I were a king
Every word I say
Would become the law
All across the land

A golden crown
Upon my head
A jeweled scepter
In my hand

I want every head to bow to me
But I'll settle for a minor monarchy

So, king me, baby
It all depends on you

King me, baby
Make my dreams come true

King Me
by Billy's Little Trip

-verse-
I'm not your majesty
I don't piss royal tea
I'm going to set a fire,
for the whole world to see
Our country has lost it's way
Our leaders make us pay
We need to stand up and fight,
for our final say

-chorus-
Just tell me what you'll do for me
It's time to let freedom ring
Just tell me what I want to believe
It's time to set freedom free

-verse-
We need to pass the crown
We need to buckle down
We need to storm the castle,
and take it pound by pound
A leader for the poor
An honest heart and soul
We need to tear it's head off,
and spit down it's rotten hole

-chorus-
Just tell me what I want to believe
It's time to let freedom ring
Just tell me what you'll do for me
It's time to set freedom free

-bridge-
I'm not your majesty
I'm going to set a fire,
for the whole world to see

-chorus-
Just tell me what I want to believe
It's time to let freedom ring
Just tell me what you'll do for me
It's time to set freedom free
Just tell me what I want to believe
It's time to let freedom sing
Just tell me what you'll do for me
It's time to set freedom free

Send the dogs out
To the lake
I'll be sleeping
On the road
And if you find me
Don't antagonize me
For you know
How that will go

And if you see that
You find it's hopeless
Then won't you tell me
You find it so
And if you think then
You found your own way
Then you may go
Ohhhh

Here I lie, now
Above the grindstone
No more passion,
No more goad
I found my way here
You take your time, dear
You may king me
As I go

the first thing that i'll do is ban elections
that's how it's done
surround myself with yes men and conspirators
then pass a law
the only truth that matters is my word
that's what i say
king and country
one and the same
that's all you need to know
bow low to

king me
ruling over all infinity
king me
drooling on myself for all to see
king me
i've got bigger fish to fry
but now these fish are frying me
sizzling in the pan with me my
strawmen and hyperbole
they put their feet up to the fire and
doff their caps and bow to king me

now see here
it's an offer and it's not an ultimatum
take it or leave it
and when you do --
what's that you say?
you bunch of traitors
you'll undo all the good we've done till now
you politicians
you're all the same
there's too much politicking in this town
so here's your answer
i can't hear you, la la la

king me
ruling over all infinity
