Mike Posner - Prince Akeem lyrics

David Banner, they good  mornin'
This  that alarm clock song
I made it for you to wake up to ah

You  know I came to rip the scene apart
My  whole life is a piece of art (Oh)
And this is just a brush stroke (Oh)
I  made it in the biz they said was cutthroat
(Oh)
I'm gettin' where I wanna be, but honestly
I can't even tell if that's
Really where I wanna be
I'm not a commodity, I am on a odyssey
Used  to be a wannabe, now I'm
What I wanted to be, woo
I'm a underdog, dawg, I'm Ralph Naderin'
Followin' my intuition now and
That's a major win
I'm Taylor Swift mixed with Ruth Bader Gins'
Liberation is the flavor that I'm savorin'
It's mmm fake breasts and makeup
They don't turn me on
Life is a game and, yes, the journey's long
Growing my beard was just like
Me puttin' my jersey on
Coach K saw the light in me early on
Oh, you don't believe?
Mike Posner, boy, is he talented, I mean
That's from '08 yeah, he's so talented
What up, Nolan? Jon, go get 'em, woo

We 'bout to take it to a new level
Even when I'm sad, I give 'em hell
I'm a Blue Devil
Her boyfriend wrote a book, I was unimpressed
I don't care about her man if it wasn't Hesse
(Oh) i might do Everest, you never know (Oh)
And change is like a metronome (Oh)
I never read The Untethered Soul (Oh)
I already got an untethered soul (Oh)
I wasted years tryna become better known (Oh)
Right when I gave that up is
When I became better known (Oh)
Oh, this is that Michigan December flow
I got two lifetimes worth of
Ideas in my Evernote (Oh)
Old soul, Fender Rhodes (Oh)
Complimented outwardly now from my inner glow
(Oh) and since I've seen
I changed my look to see who really loves me
I'm Prince Akeem

See, when I was comin' up
I was always one of them niggas who
Did what the fuck I want
Smokin' weed on TV wasn't even cool
Now that shit legal so back then
From causin' trouble to right now
I'm a motherfuckin' businessman, hahahahaha

Uh, too rich to ever fit in
You wait in front, I get in
You talk too much, I listen
You blind, I got the vision
The day I worked for myself
That was the best decision
You livin' check-to-check
I check to see what checks I'm gettin'
You get no respect until respect is given
I live with no regret
You regret where you livin'
Still got the yellow car
We in the house chillin'
You think the air is on
I'm heir to the throne so many diamonds
People stare when I put 'em on
But they don't walk up
My pockets thick like Ms parker
And I got the Benz parked, sparkin' up
(Sparkin' up)
And I got a '64 that's hard as fuck
(Hard as fuck)
But don't get in over your head
Supposed to be stackin' instead of
Spendin' most of your bread (Bread)
Don't get in over your head
Supposed to be stackin' instead of
Spendin' most of your bread (Bread)
It's just a half a mile away ooh, ooh, yeah
It's just a half a mile away
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh
