Taye the Truth - Born a King

Born a king, sold a slave,
Crossed the sea, stowed away
Hold me down, broken chains,
Numb the pain, novocaine
Born a king, sold a slave,
Tried to love, more to hate
Let me free, freedom ring
Born a king, die a king

Always been gifted
Came out the womb with my lottery ticket
I was almost convinced that I wasn't worth it and almost ripped it
But I'm the culmination of a lot of history omissions
I was bred through adversity, first it seemed like a curse to me
Said I was gifted, everything fitting together perfectly
Figured out my purpose, reversing my family's curse in me
Changing my mind state, might as well have been performing surgery
Got the power to change the world in my tongue
I can do a lot if I touch one
I gotta move now in case I die young
If I was born a king, best believe I'm a die one

Born a king, sold a slave,
Crossed the sea, stowed away
Hold me down, broken chains,
Numb the pain, novocaine
Born a king, sold a slave,
Tried to love, more to hate
Let me free, freedom ring
Born a king, die a king
