Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've seen things I can't unsee
Strange fruit hanging off these trees
Angels swinging in the breeze
God, I pray they get their wings
And they say, "Love is all we need"
I say, "Freedoms far from free"
All these chains and diamond rings
But it's my skin that makes me king
And I am king
[Verse 2]
I have a dream
I am king
And I am king, king, king
[Verse 3]
They turning all my heroes into villains
That's why I'm out here flexing for the children
They gon' wanna kill me in a minute.
I just turned a zero to a million lord
Help me to see who I am
Walk in your footsteps again
I lost my focus
I know that it's true
Everything I have
I owe it to you
Forgive me now
Like you forgave me then
Please, God, forgive me you know how I sin
Models and bottles and drugs with my friends
I need your love and your strength
[Verse 4]
I've seen things I can't unsee
Strange fruit hanging off these trees
Angels swinging the breeze
God, I pray they get their wings
And they say, "Love is all we need"
I say, "Freedoms far from free"
All these chains and diamond rings
But it's my skin that makes me king
And I am king
[Verse 5]
Hey, Use me as a reference
For black excellence
Bullet proof my SUVs
I need some better tints
Move like the president
But I got better sense
You can use my song Black Boy for all your evidence
Time magazine me
No choice but king me
Y'all dream of jeanie
I dream like Martin
Coffins from coughing
Ain't no vaccines
I'm bout to show the whole world
What being pro black means
I am king, ****
I am legend
This big willie shit
Last week I was broke
And now I'm really rich
Model X charger
Sustainable farming
Red and blue all in the charm, its alarming
I push the 911 like white folks who call cops
And Karens who took over the block
It's so gentrified
With tears in my eyes
I looked in the skies and cried
"I am king"
[Verse 6]
I've seen things I can't unsee
Strange fruit hanging off these trees
Angels swinging the breeze
God I pray they get their wings
And they say, "Love is all we need"
I say, "Freedoms far from free"
All these chains and diamond rings
But it's my skin that makes me king
And I am king
