K-Rino, J. Dash - The Fallen King lyrics

Just when K had paved the way
To say that I made it
All the paper that I made
I wasn't able to save it
Maybe cause when I was paid I
Never gave him the praises
It's outrageous tryna reach
Higher material stages
Try'na view life through my own eyes
The pair I was blessed with
Cause once you touch a lot
Of cash your character's tested
Some wreak of a degenerate
Of arrogant essences
Until he's humble brought down
And his talent's arrested
Knew that once I hit my peak
I be a permanent fixture
The lofty height I reach was
Nothing like I had pictured
I was paranoid and lonely and
My heart was in darkness
Standing on and looking down just made
Me wanna jump off it
With no sound foundation to
Base my investment the power made me crazy
And evasion to question
Knew deep down from the start
The future greatness was destined
But the quest to chase possession
Is like chasing depression

You see I dwelled in the palace
Bathe in the cash
I stood on the mountain top
I drank from the glass
Thought that I could rule the world
But couldn't handle the throne in the end
The Fallen King was left standing alone
You see I dwelled in the palace
Bathe in the cash
I stood on the mountain top
I drank from the glass
Thought that I could rule the world
But couldn't handle the throne in the end
The Fallen King was left standing alone

It took a small amount of time for
My greedy mind to ground me
The wealth destroyed myself and
The people around me
And anything of good that men
Would happen to mention
Saw the people I stepped on
During my rapid descension
As I fell from grace i
Witness the faces above
I never once wanted the cash to
Take the place of the love but it did
Until my heart developed strong resistance
And the lustful things I live
For were no longer sufficient
I would bask in the bank
Accounts of massive amounts
But there's only so much property
And cash you can count achieving success
Birds of prey bleeding my nest
All the users and the parasites
That leech on your flesh
Drop my soul in every low-end
To sober these cold winds
And cover the loneliness with
Female over indulgence
Had it all and still had nothing
Worship the wealth
The misguided king who possessed
Everything but himself

High on arrogance, drunk on pride
Fueled by greed, failed when I was tried
High on arrogance, drunk on pride
Fueled by greed, failed when I was tried

You see I dwelled in the palace
Bathe in the cash
I stood on the mountain top
I drank from the glass
Thought that I could rule the world
But couldn't handle the throne in the end
The Fallen King was left standing alone
You see I dwelled in the palace
Bathe in the cash
I stood on the mountain top
I drank from the glass
Thought that I could rule the world
But couldn't handle the throne in the end
The Fallen King was left standing alone

Mind state worsening
What is this I'm worshipping?
Who would be that person that could
Bring me down to earth again?
Humility burgeoning, ego short circuiting
Searching for a new chance on a turf
Like it was 1st & 10
I had a few people who try to make me reapply
And I underappreciated them
No need for me to lie
The King was a conceited guy
Who found out why it's harder for
A rich man to reach
Heaven then a camel to pass
Through a needle's eye
Tears under every smile, no situation
Meant nothing unless it gave
Me instant gratification
They say money's not everything
And that right, it's really not
But those words are usually said by those
Who have none or a lot
The dynamics of our lives
Are greatly diversified
Happy poor folks and rich
Men who commit suicide
Had to lose it all just
To accomplish the real prize
The King who had the fall in order to rise
