knights of 88 - boy king lyrics

[intro: denham smith]
my eyes wander round
looking in this sky
born in the ghetto
never had money
trying to make quick bucks
he would do anything
child of a slave
born into poverty
got to find a way out
tap into your system

[chorus: denham smith]
little black boy got to make a million (turn it up now)
running these streets got to get mine (turn it up now)
born in the ghetto never had nothing (turn it up now)
little black boy got to make a million (turn it up now)

[verse 1: kage sparks]
pops came from nothing
little village in the motherland
black boy dreaming i’m a make it out the gutter fam
disease here and famine
hunt you down like a wanted man
drought evеry season had him scrambling for a better plan
eldеst one of four kids two before him corpses
real how he came up raised in a mud hut
running now to school everyday with no shoes
heart of a warrior how he always going move
[chorus: denham smith]
little black boy got to make a million (turn it up now)
running these streets got to get mine (turn it up now)
born in the ghetto never had nothing (turn it up now)
little black boy got to make a million (turn it up now)

[verse 2: black caz]
lost his moms in a fire he was 9 years old
walking this earth alone father didn’t want to know
stomach empty day and night
trying to keep his brother warm
can’t hold a king down
when you know you meant for the throne
dodging drunks and fiends
needles k!lling their means
relatives so abusive out the door at 16
born to hustle had to eat
your father became the streets
before you saw the light
a menace young sharif
lost and black in america
no dream
half of your soul died when god took dee
only thing you had was a passion to be free
climbed out of the dirt
phoenix with a dream
first human being that i ever saw grow wings
soaring across the sky for black children to see
memories in my mind stories for my seed about
the little black boy who grew up to be king
[chorus: denham smith]
little black boy got to make a million (turn it up now)
running these streets got to get mine (turn it up now)
born in the ghetto never had nothing (turn it up now)
little black boy got to make a million (turn it up now)
