Eminem - Kings Never Die Lyrics






[Gwen Stefani:]
Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die

[Eminem (Gwen Stefani):]
I can hear the drummer drumming
And the trumpets, someone's tryna summon someone, I know something's coming
But I'm runnin' from it to be standing at the summit
And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was
Was it, too good to be true?
Have nothin', get it all but too much of it
Then lose it again, did I swallow hallucinogens
'Cause if not, where the hell did it go?
'Cause here I sit in Lucifer's den by the dutch oven
Just choosing to sin
Even if it means I'm sellin' my soul, just to be the undisputed again
Do whatever I gotta do just to win
'Cause I got this motherfuckin' cloud over my head
Crown around it, thorns on it
Cracks in it, bet you morons didn't think I'd be back, did ya?
How 'bout that, I'm somehow now back to the underdog
But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is somethin' I never bow-out at
I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate
But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt
Even when you bitches are countin' me out, and I appear to be down for the count
Only time I ever been out and about
Is drivin' around town with my fuckin' whereabouts in a doubt
'Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter
Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up
Spit on, shit on, stepped on, but kept goin'
I'm tryna be headstrong but it feels like I slept on my neck wrong
'Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?
'Cause someone told me that
(Kings never die)

[Eminem:]
Don't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir
You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep
Nobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer
Wouldn't even take shit into consideration
Obliterate anyone in the way
I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to show out on a track with me
But it'd actually have to be a fuckin' blow-out to get me to retire
Tell these new artists that kings never die
I know shit has changed in this age, fuck a Twitter page
Did it just say I've been upstaged?
Why am I on-line? It's driving me crazy
I'm ridin' shotgun tryna get a gauge
On what's hot, but I'm not one to conform
But as days pass in this shit
And opinions sway, I can hear 'em say
If I stay passionate maybe I can stage a miraculous
Comeback as if I went away
But detractors just say so much for the renegade
Someone's gonna make me blow my composure
Here I go again, center stage and I feel like I'm in a cage
They so want a champion to fall
It's no wonder why I laugh at 'em, 'cause why can't we win 'em all?
So fuck what these cynics say
(It) just goes to show that when my back's against the wall
And I'm under attack again, that I'll act as if I'm 'posed ta
With this pent-up rage, 'cause all these plaques in my office
On the floor stacked against the door
Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin' back again?
'Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards
And trophies just don't mean jack anymore
If I'm here today and gone tomorrow
And I'm not gonna be

[Gwen Stefani:]
Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die

[Eminem:]
I want it, I'm comin' to get it
So you son of a bitches don't duck you're gonna get Riddick Bowe'd
Critics'll end up in critical, think your shit is dope all you're gonna get is smoked
And I ain't stopping 'til I'm on top again
All alone and on a throne, like a token of respect
or a homage poem, or an ode I've been owed
Tossed in the air by my own arm, and launched so hard it broke my collarbone
And when it's my time to go, I'm still not leaving
Stop for no one, I don't know but I've been told an obstacle that
Blocks your road, knock it over, time to go for that pot of gold, 'cause

[Eminem:]
They say kings never die
Just ask Jam Master Jay
They just grow wings and they fly
So, hands up, reach for the sky
Try to hold on and prolong these moments
'Cause in a blink of an eye
They'll be over

[Eminem:]
So you're tryna secure your legacy like Shakur
And ensure nobody's ever gonna be what you were
So before you're leavin' this Earth
You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral, berserk
Deacon of words, syllable genius at work
Plus I'm thinkin' that they're mistakin' my kindness for weakness, kill 'em with meanness
I went from powdered milk and Farina
To flippin' burgers on the grill for some peanuts
At Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers
I made it to the silver screen but Rocky's still what the theme is
Khalil on the beat 'cause makin' the beat ain't the same feelin' to me as killin' the beat is
Or fulfillin' to me is what fillin' a seat is
It's that "Soundbombing" Thirstin' Howl
Common, underground, Diamond D, Outsidaz
Stomach growl, throbbin' hunger, out-rhymin' everyone
God just give me one shot, I swear that I won't let you down
I'mma be around forever-and-a-day, even in the ground
You ain't never ever gonna hear 'em say I ain't

[Gwen Stefani:]
Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die

    Theres Nothing Else

    I look around
    A city of homes
    With beds and chairs
    Stoves and sinks
    Pictures paintings lamps
    Orange juice Pepsi & Eggs
    Theres pillows on the beds
    Blankets and comforters
    Theres phones
    A tv or 2
    Shoes Jean's and
    3 or 4 hoodies
    A winter jacket
    A little black dress
    Underwear
    For when you come home
    After a day of running
    Thru the streets
    Whether you class out
    On the number 10
    Or go full tank unleaded
    In a cj7 jaguar
    Or olds
    But all that stays
    So when you come
    In and go out
    Over and over
    It's just you
    I'm into
    Theres nothing else
    So give me your heart
    Your eyes your mouth
    Your nose your chin
    Your shoulders neck
    Chest
    Give me your balls
    Your legs your knees
    And yea your dick
    Most of all
    Most of all
    Make sure you connect
    And let go of
    What stays
    I want what
    Moves with me
    In and in and in
    And BREAKING POINT
    And in and in and
    BREAKING THRU
    you are everything
    But I can be me
    Be with you be me
    Within you surround
    You in out in out
    There is nothing else
    Cuz I'd rather live
    Than stay in hell
    That's heaven you
    And your body moving
    To you me
    Keep going
    I can go longer
    Cut it short
    So I hold out for more
    There is nothing else.
    Thanks you.

    To skin.
    Made love
    Karen ❤

    ''Kings never die'' deserve a video with Kobe Bryans best moments.. i get chills just for thinking

  38. d.... p....

    Kings die alot it's pharoahs that never die... You can never kill a pharoah.. Eminem has the same chin as the walking pharoah.. That is legit royal blood if it's natural.. But not pure pharoah unless he has the veins like the current pharoah England put in a prison camp of oshawa Ontario Canada oshawitz to try and call me a rat.. Using all media rap movies and TV the worst case was Harry potter.. They tried to relate a pharoah mark to a snitch.. The snitch is the German throne thieves who killed diana and God sent me a trap card to curse the British beyone human imagination...

  39. x.... s....

    Kobe Bryant,a king that will never die💜💛

    Really appreciate all the hard work its easier to move thumbs but field work is the most influential part

  74. P.... N....

    5:06 AM 1/24/2020 The voices in my head said it was through King James VI and I (6th and 1st) and the Queen of England Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II knew about this and was talking about it. This was awhile back like 4 or 5 years ago. I never knew who my real blood relatives were but "supposivly" the Royal House of Windsor knows who I am and they know who my real aunts and uncles and cousins are. I was adopted. My birthdate is March 25 which isnt a coincidence this was setup on me.

    Video Editor: Raed Almurish 🔥🔥🔥 great work

  83. B.... ....

    Where all my kings in 2020 at?

  84. h.... h....

    The most underrated song I've ever seen. Guess the album didn't do as expected so the media thought this song is trash but the bars are so good and the flow is one of his best.

    h.... h....

    I think it's one of his best songs and probably would have blown up if the movie did better.

  85. L.... ....

    I’m about a use this as my boxing intro

  86. R.... N....

    They say Kings Never Die... 🙌 If you're listening to this in 2020
