Long Live the Chief

Niggas fighting over rings
 Niggas wanna be the King, but
 Long live the chief
 For a lil' ol' thang lil' boys bang bang
 Long live the chief
 Niggas fighting over rings
 Niggas wanna be the king, but
 Long live the chief
 Yeah, I watch pretty mama while I slang my cane
 Long live the chief
 Uh
 Cockroaches and the rat shit, uh
 Hand me downs with the patches
 Mama put a little money in the mattress
 Taught me how to make a silver spoon out of plastic
 You can either sink, swim or be the captain
 Get the last word I'ma get the last laugh in
 Now they say "Jidenna why you dressing so classic?"
 I don't want my best dressed day in a casket
 You can either lead, follow or get out the way
 Make a fuckin' move it would make my fuckin' day
 Got a hundred year plan you just think about today
 Always been about time more than been about pay
 Can't rump with me
 Usain couldn't run with me
 Chief come to find you
 You don't come for me
 At best you can run a lil' company
 Nigga at worst, I could run the whole country
 That's right, pimp game like a brothel
 That's why, I don't judge a niggas hustle
 I AirBnB the crib like a hostel
 Summer rate cheaper 'cause the streets get hostile
 Shaka boy, this fire from Mojave boy
 So, no, I won't record for your homie boy
 I turn the party out like a naughty toy
 Then I go and hide in plain sight like a lobby boy
 Yessir, that's Jidenna on the banner
 Ridin' for my niggas gettin' locked up in the slammer
 Elders saying everything's a nail to a hammer
 And niggas can't spell but we know our Instagrammar
 Well done's better than well said
 I read niggas well, a nigga well read
 Really I ain't met nobody smarter
 That's why I got admitted but I still rejected Harvard
 I'm the fresh prince, in a school where they couldn't read
 Mama put me in a school with the Kennedys
 When I met Bill Clinton I was 17
 But dead presidents is all my niggas need
 Dining with the governor's daughter
 And her father say I remind him of Obama
 I'm the chief diplomat, e'ryday
 And I'm black and white, Janelle Monae
 They wan' be the King, but
 Long live the chief
 For a lil' ol' thang lil' boys bang bang
 Long live the chief
 Niggas fighting over rings
 Niggas wanna be the King, but
 Long live the chief
 Now, watch pretty mama while I slang my cane
 Long live the chief
