once upon a time there was boy named uh stop me if you heard this one once upon a time there was a girl named uh doesn't matter cause they all got done Brother I'ma Igbo, since the day of BEBO Egussi and the Okra tryna get denier, i's tryna be a hero but mostly i's just awkward heart was in the right place i guess it's just everything else was such a mess so i did some switching, recondition, did some losing, did some winning, now everything yes it's just the best for example just the other day somebody try to hit me with some hate back in the day I woulda said WHAT but nowadays i'm just like OK some people that, thats just how they do misery loves company and i ain't in that group used to be, but luckily i moved so that's none for me it'll all just for you once upon a time there was boy named uh stop me if you heard this one once upon a time there was a girl named uh doesn't matter cause they all got done once upon a time there was boy named uh stop me if you heard this one once upon a time there was a girl named uh doesn't matter cause they all got done once upon a time i was borderline crying, when things weren't really going my way and once upon a time I was bored out my mind, and i realised that things had to change now once upon a time, stays on the time line, and you find it now back in the day cause once upon a time, man had to refine, readjust, calibrate and update once upon a time cause it's legendary I leave once upon a time in the cemetery no pretending fairy tale ending that dimensions secondary so i'm no longer anchored to the past statues and monuments all just getting smashed I pay respect, i learn, I surpass cause once upon a time yo that didn't last

do you believe in fate I go back and forth ask me on a different day and my answer warps it's like really what's the reason you rapping for bro i'm tryna be the good life ambassador but things happen that you can't really be clear why but after rain then it's usually a clear sky is that coincidental? or just a mere lie when global warming means everyone in here'll die panic panic panic panic panic is all i really see in a world that's just so frantic frantic i don't really know if the 1% planned it planned it don't believe anyone who says they understand it stand it is it all coincidental? or did it happen cause its meant to all i know is life is mental and baby I'm here for it tryna make a mark tryna take this far and I know i'm on my way now since i got the spark direct from heart things are moving that ain't coincidental close ya eyes close ya eyes as we flying through skies and we siphoning off the lies cause we living in the moment you don't own it or control it but owe you it all your focus cause this is the only chance that you get and this is nutting new but it's sutting true sutting that recently i don't see cutting through and if it's not for you then that's up to you you can substitute truth with another spoof but before you do, who benefits why you think what you think ? what's the genesis? just a little thought, don't take it too far before the tin foil covering your roof hard is it all coincidental? or did it happen cause its meant to all i know is life is mental and baby I'm here for it tryna make a mark tryna take this far and I know that i'm on my way now since i got the spark direct from heart things are moving that ain't coincidental
3.	Kings 03:03	lyrics	buy track
people going wild for the slightest things? this not found in the mind of kings X3 people switch fast when the pendulum swings this not found in the mind of king x3 king herod also king nebuchadenezzar set examples of how a modern king you should never rule with tyranny or fear in any endeavour act calm, composed, and always carefully measured it's a pleasure and a honour and privilege I will never act intolerant or ignorant i aspire to the highest for my citizens and my kins n them, I see kings in them kings are no longer born they're shaped through life experiences they break through the principle skill is to make do only given half, known to make two flip it, twist it and improve on it formulate a strategy and then move on it stay cool, so you can handle the heat cause nowadays kings also be commander in chief CHORUS truth is my brother is a king too the old ways ain't sutting that we cling to the new ways is sutting that we sing to progress is sutting that a king do corona claimed the crown so we ditched them symbolising down with the system no coronation needed for upliftment the only thing a king needs is a kingdom and a kingdom is richer, with many kings many kings then achieves many things to king, a troll is invisible and the new giants, influence ridiculed new kings power isn't absolute that's we need more kings steady passing through more citizens adopting these attribute and that's the truth ...

I'd like to introduce our protagonist and no I ain't being obtuse it's a little white girl like red hiding hood cinderella you this kinda type of book always the same chick always the same thing always the same win always the same king but this times is different she's born a her, but she really wanna switch to him so he did it dressed as boy to try and fit the image things were ok, most people working with it everyone showing him love up in the village, I dig it but then one day he got his period all his friend said it's cool it wasn't serious he's just unique he should chill just embrace it it was too much he couldn't take it so he runs out the magic forest so many species yet he still found some solace trolls on the way talking hella trash he hoped for the day he could get em back then he found ad pond had a frog in it not just any frog this frog was talkative he spoke of a` tree with a magic branch when broken turn your dreams to an avalanche are you sure though cause you won't have a chance to switch it back, if it breaks and your plans advance without a second thought, he found the tree broken the branch waited then shouted with glee his breast buds started regressing down below was inverting, but even more interesting is his skin change, no longer white a side effect of the spell what an oversight he thought it wouldn't matter he thought he had reached his happily ever after he ran back home with the branch in his hand, he thought he I wasn't boy but now i actually am but before he made it back to his bredrin he ran past police and the village intersection they mistook the branch in his hand as weapon and shot him 4 times without any question
