The King's Speech

about

I hadn't asked my mom about using her voicemail until after KING FOR A DAY was in the mastering stages. She gave me her blessing obviously.

Everything that I had been feeling, dealing with and going through (some of it self-inflicted) just came to a head one day. I didn't know why things were happening to me the way they were. So I started writing again, waking up at 3am and making beats. Eventually, things turned around.

During that process I discovered that this project became my therapy.

lyrics

on the eve of my consecration/ I rattle snake like in the anticipation of the admiration/ yet I discover the title is merely smoke and mirrors/ unlike Janet, I had no Rhythm Nation/ unlike Stevie, I had no way of seeing clearer/ just snapshots of soul abrasions/ and nights in a drunken stupor/ waiting for a bail out, he’s a loser/ pause/ I’mma let you catch your breath/ like Missy, this is not a test/ the flow hit hard like fist to your chest/ you better be ready No Doubt Rock Steady/ we can go deep, Blackstreet like Teddy/ I like my Dreamgirls heavy, heavy/ we can get soaked I broke your levee/ you’re all brand new like a mani-pedi glistening/ it’s hard cuz these niggaz aint listening/ blind to heart of my sentimental/ I’m wanna go postal super-mental but I digress/ eliminate me if I be the stress that would ever hinder your progress/ kindly undress the riddles and speak to me in the Queen’s English/ be the fire when those who dare seek to extinguish
