Be Prepared (feat. Mykal Kilgore)

I know that your powers of retention

Are as wet as a warthog's backside

But thick as you are, pay attention

My words are a matter of pride

It's clear from your vacant expression

The lights are not all on upstairs

But we're talking kings and successions

Even you can't be caught unaware

So prepare for the chance of a lifetime

Be prepared for sensational news

A shining new era is tiptoeing nearer

And where do we feature? Just listen to teacher

I know it sounds sordid, but you'll be rewarded

When at last I am given my dues

And injustice deliciously squared

Be prepared!

Hey, did you hear that, hmm, what's up?

He's talkin' about the lion, yeah, the dad and the cub

I think I know him, what are we gonna do?

We could turn him into a delicious stew

Ooh, then he'll pay his price

But who will be the king if we end his life?

Well, not Mufasa, Mufasa, Mufasa

No king, no king, la-la-la-la-la-la

Could someone please explain this thing

Idiots, I'll be the king

Long live the king

It's great that we'll soon be connected

With a king who'll be all-time adored, hey

Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected

To take certain duties on board

The future is littered with prizes

And though I'm the main addressee

The point that I must emphasize is

You won't get a sniff without me

So prepare for the coup of the century

Be prepared for the murkiest scam

Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning

Decades of denial is simply why I'll

Be king undisputed, respected, saluted

And seen for the wonder I am

Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared

Be prepared!

Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared

Be prepared!

Be prepared!

Be prepared, yeah, yeah
