Kingmaker lyrics
by Xzibit
[Verse 1: Xzibit]
Your money tight, feeling like you ain't living right
You lost sight of your goals and the spirit to fight
Can you humble your pride, ego, and sacrifice?
Need some motivation at life? Listen to Kingmaker
Can you see yourself missing out on the best of things?
Wasting away, killing yourself, being a fiend
Wanna know who behind the scenes, pulling the strings?
Finally, you can focus and breathe, listen to Kingmaker
Ever felt lost, lonely, everything dark?
Everything that you touch, is it falling apart?
Is that hate on your face or is love in your heart?
You need a fresh start? Listen to Kingmaker
Are you ready to rise up out of the ashes?
Are you prepared to reveal your true self to the masses?
Are you ready to be judged by your words or your actions?
I got a gift for the people, listen to Kingmaker
Are you stuck in the same spot you struggle with?
You disappoint the ones you love doing dumb sh*t?
Ready to dump dead weight, ready to uplift?
You ain't gotta do it alone, listen to Kingmaker
Can you look in the mirror and see the truth? (See the truth)
Can you fix the problem when the problem is you? (When it's you)
Wanna turn that one million into a few?
Do yourself a favor, my neighbor, listen to Kingmaker
[Skit: Xzibit & Cece Valencia]
My fam', let me tell you, I love this man
Uh, Xzibit is in the studio and everybody's excited right now (Yes, yes)
Kingmaker is, is coming out
What's bigger than a king though, right?
I named it Kingmaker because it has nothing to do with me sitting on the throne
Or feeling like I'm some kind of, like, hierarchy
This is about a transfer of information (Kingmaker)
[Verse 2: Xzibit]
I made something out of nothing, created my peace
I had mastered my destiny, conquered the beast
Could've lost my life, shot dead in the street
Not from Mr. X to the Z, I am the Kingmaker
I forgave all those who deserved to be spared
For the rest, I'm vested up, fully prepared
You're tryna live forever? What, n*gga, you scared?
It's death before dishonor, I am the Kingmaker
Red carpets, fine china for celebrations
Well wishes, bad b*tches in my accommodations
Look 'em in the eyes, it's lies in their conversations
Come on and follow the path, I am the Kingmaker
I manifested growth and the will to win
Teach your man to fish, watch him reel it in
Or I could put you in a corner, make you count to ten
Turn around, you get gunned down, I am the Kingmaker
I had purged my circle, made room for the real
Spent so much time locked in Amityville
I'm a serial killer going in for the kill
Salute and raise your glass, I am the Kingmaker
I am only here on my own accord
Stop burning bridges, I kick locks to open doors
Are you ready for a throne, or something greater?
In my position of power, I am the Kingmaker
