Uncle Rico

[Verse 1: Cole Hedgecoth]
I used to be a King
I used to have it all far as I could see
Used to being praised in the streets
Everybody knew what I could be
Man, I used to be a King
Can’t nobody tell me what to do
I’m the only one who makes the rules
I’m the only one who’s in control
If you’re challenging the throne, so you know
I don’t tolerate any opposing views
I’m the King
Everybody in my circle understands
That they execute and follow through with what I plan
I don’t need no questions from a smaller man
Cause I’ve been doing this longer
Than you’ve been on my land
Hindsight is so clear
When you look in the rear view
If I don’t ask you a question
I don’t expect to hear you
You best not be speaking to me how you appear to
Cause I got the power to make nobody miss you
When the king is in the room
You better be ready to explain the things you do
You better be ready to run away from the truth
Cause I’ll never stop pursuing
The enemy and his troops
And I guess that’s you
You’re either for me or against me
But I have to make you choose
I can’t afford to fail in front of everyone I used
But it’s me against the world
And I don’t plan to lose

[Chorus: Wendy Laraine]
Don’t know why you’re doing this to me
Gave you everything you wanted
Guess we went on different sides
And the timing wasn’t right
But now you’re gone
Don’t know why you’re doing this to me
Gave you everything you wanted
Guess we went on different sides
And the timing wasn’t right
But now you’re gone

[Verse 2]
Back when I was king
There wasn’t nobody who tried to compete
There wasn’t nobody who’s better than me
Doesn’t matter who I’m up against
How do you recommend
A battle for common sense
They looking for Harvey Dent
That’s why I had to lament
And talk about the pressure of a King
The pressure under me
The pressure they don’t know about
Until they have to lead
I’ll do anything it takes
And I don’t give a…. if you in my way
I’ll be a killer so I can win the game
Crown bigger than Godzilla but God did it
New religion in my vision, it’s God given
I need pride, it’s no slide like Kenny Pickett
I’ll swing through on my time and pay a visit
As long as I get the chance to get all the attention
Long live the king
Made no mistakes but I feel so empty
I live in this castle alone through the week
And my throne might be gold
But my soul is so weak
The King!
Don’t I wish this was different?
Spent all of my time focusing on the mission
I’m missing my family, my wife, my kids
I got nothing but broken hearts and loneliness

[Chorus]
Don’t know why you’re doing this to me
Gave you everything you wanted
Guess we went on different sides
And the timing wasn’t right
But now you’re gone
Don’t know why you’re doing this to me
Gave you everything you wanted
Guess we went on different sides
And the timing wasn’t right
But now you’re gone
