long live the chief

Lyrics

niggas fighting over rings, niggas wanna be the king, but, long live the chief, for a li' ol' thang lil' boys bang bang, long live the chief, niggas fighting over rings, niggas wanna be the king, but, long live the chief, yeah watch pretty mama while i slang my cane, long live the chief, cockroaches and the rat shit, hand me downs with the patches, mama put a little money in the mattress, taught me how to make a silver spoon out of plastic, you can either sink, swim or be the captain, get the last word ima get the last laugh in, now they say "jidenna why you dressing so classy?", i don't want my best dressed day in a casket, you can either lead, follow or get out the way, make a fuckin' move it would make my fuckin' day, got a 100 year plan you just think about today, always been about time more than been about pay, can't rump with me, usain couldn't run with me, chief come to find you, you don't come for me, at best you can run a lil' company, nigga at worst, i could run the whole country, that's right - pimp game like a brothel, that's why - i don't judge a niggas hustle, i airbnb the crib like a hostel, summer rate cheaper because the streets get hostile, shaka boy, this fire from mojave boy, so no i won't record for your homie boy, i turn the party out like a naughty toy, then i go and hide in plain sight like a lobby boy, yes sir, that's jidenna on the banner, ridin' for my niggas gettin' locked up in the slammer, elders saying everything's a nail to a hammer, and niggas can't spell but we know our instagrammar, well done's better than well said, i read niggas well, a nigga well read, really i ain't met nobody smarter, that's why i got admitted but i still rejected harvard, i'm the fresh prince, in a school where they couldn't read, mama put me in a school with the kennedys, when i met bill clinton i was seventeen, but dead presidents is all my niggas need, dining with the governor's daughter, and her father say i remind him of obama, i'm the chief diplomat. every day, and i'm black and white. janelle monae, they wanna be the king, but, long live the chief, for a li' ol' thang lil' boys bang bang, long live the chief, niggas fighting over rings, niggas wanna be the king, but, long live the chief, now watch pretty mama while i slang my cane, long live the chief
