[Verse 1: Speed on the Beat]

Some people say I could not, keeping going whenever I got hot
I used to spit on the beat so motherfucking fast
That I couldn't stop to take a breath like A-ha!
But, yeah, it's still Speed spitting. Yeah, motherfucker, it still be me getting
Neck from the beat, like I'm in VIP at the R-i-t, add a Z and I'm sleep
And I'm killing these niggas. Speed on the Beat, stop feeling THESE niggas
Twenty-Seven Club, so it's Do or Die time like old Chiraq rap on these niggas
And I switched it up for no one. I'm just making my points so sharper
This is the death of no-fi, so long, bye bye--like I series finale'd y'all niggas
And I'm back like crack on an addict
Self-made, nigga, so you know it's a habit
To do everything myself...and, by the way...I don't need your help
Split up these skills like a paramedic
For ailments of the world. Motherfucker do you get it?
Am a Born Sinner, but you know that it's a Cold World
So I've gotta help them rise up, better the average
Better than average, supreme with the flow
Fuck your team, man. They're a bunch of hoes and...
Like hoes, y'all about to get fucked when fuckery come out yo' mouth, assholes!
Killing the K.I.N.G, even when no no-fi? Improbable and impossible
Cause when the crown fits me, even when the audio's better?
Motherfucker, I reign supreme!

[Hook: Speed on the Beat]

(X2)
I killed the king, but the crown still fits
Get with the team or get left, ya bish
I killed the king, but the throne still sits
SOTB, on the right side is the Prince
The King is Dead, Long Live the K.I.N.G
The King is Dead, Long Live the K.I.N.G
The King is Dead, Long Live the K.I.N.G
SOTB, this is the Death of The King

[Verse 2: Speed on the Beat]

Yeah, y'all thought that y'all killed the bastard?
But I'm back harder stonger better and faster
No daftness on this shit, though
I'm killing this shit, don'cha know?
Master of the craft, like I earned triple doctorates
So, I might as well show y'all what I learned in this shit
Earned my status, like I bang in the street...
But they know the only thing I rep? My team
D.A.R, Dreams are Reality. Genocide of these wack rappers? Easy
They used to think I should stay behind the boards...
And play the able whore who'd kiss land when offered a score
Non-believers said "fuck Speed's shit?"
One Year Later...Songs For...by the way, this album told them "suck my dick!"
I switched it up for no one, just making my points hella sharper
Bitch and moan all that you want, but you know that I'm a skywalker
The shelflife of an average rapper?
A-about as long as it, uh, takes to pack the wrapper
Two seconds in? They've got their biggest hit
Fourteenth minute's up? They're asking like "what happened?"

[Hook: Speed on the Beat]

I killed the king, but the crown still fits
Get with the team or get left, ya bish
I killed the king, but the throne still sits
SOTB, on the right side is the Prince
The King is Dead, Long Live the K.I.N.G
The King is Dead, Long Live the K.I.N.G
The King is Dead, Long Live the K.I.N.G
SOTB, this is the Death of The King (x2)

[Verse 3: Speed on the Beat]

From the ashes of the classes that've clashed against the "Gods,"
Here I stand, with no competition, amongst all of y'all
Y'all balling 'til y'all fall, but don't have shit to show for it
I have fans, thinking this's a classic and you know if
If I put all my energy into these CDs--fission
Then infuse it with the "Mission," that y'all wouldn't even listen
But, hey. It's the last ride, and I undertake the task
Underwriting the rules, obliterating the idiots
Unintelligent underlings, chained together with under links
No matter how far you fly, you are STILL under Speed
Understand this one thing...if you don't comprehend ANYTHING else:
No more telling you I'm a "King," bitch I'm sitting on the top shelf
Top Flight. But, no security...nothing is ever safe when it's around Mr. Speed!
Drown the kittens in the river, then laugh at the scene
Of all these wannabes trying to conquer me because...

[Hook: Speed on the Beat]

I killed the king, but the crown still fits
Get with the team or get left, ya bish
I killed the king, but the throne still sits
SOTB, on the right side is the Prince
The King is Dead, Long Live the K.I.N.G
The King is Dead, Long Live the K.I.N.G
The King is Dead, Long Live the K.I.N.G
SOTB, this is the Death of The King (x2)
