Mike Posner - Prince Akeem Lyrics
(David Banner)
Good mornin'
This that alarm clock song
I made it for you to wake up to
You know I came to rip the scene apart
My whole life is a piece of art (Oh)
And this is just a brush stroke (Oh)
I made it in the biz they said was cutthroat (Oh)
I'm gettin' where I wanna be but honestly
I can't even tell if that's really where I wanna be
I'm not a commodity, I am on an Odyssey
Used to be a wannabe, now I'm what I wanted to be, woah
I'm an underdog, dog, I'm Ralph Naderin'
I'm Taylor Swift mixed with Ruth Bader Gins'
Liberation is the flavor that I'm savorin', it's mmm
Fake breast and make-up they don't turn me on
Life is a game and yes the journey's long
Growing my beard was just like me puttin' my jersey on
Coach K saw the light in me early on
(Oh, you don't believe?)
(Mike Posner, boy, is he talented, I mean he's so talented)
(What up, Nolan?)
(John, go get 'em, woah!)
We 'bout to take it to a new level
Even when I'm sad I give 'em hell, I'ma Blue Devil
Her boyfriend wrote a book, I was unimpressed
I don't care about her man if it wasn't Hesse (Oh)
I might do Everest, you never know (Oh)
It changes like a metronome (Oh)
I never read the "Untethered Soul" (Oh)
I already got an untethered soul (Oh)
I wasted years tryna become better known (Oh)
Right when I gave that up is when I became better known (Oh)
Oh, this is that Michigan December flow
I got two lifetimes worth of ideas in my Evernote (Oh)
Bozo, Fender Rhodes (Oh)
Complimented outwardly now from my inner glow (Oh)
And since I've seen, I changed my look to see who really loves me
I'm Prince Akeem
See when I was comin' up
I was always one of them niggas who did what the fuck I want
Smokin' weed on TV wasn't even cool
Now that shit legal
So back then
From causing trouble
To right now
I'm a motherfuckin' businessman
Uh, too rich to ever fit in
You wait the front, I get in
You talk too much, I listen
You blind, I got the vision
The day I worked for myself, that was the best decision
You living' check to check, I check to see what checks I'm gettin'
You get no respect until respect is given
I live with no regret, you regret where you livin'
Still got the yellow car, we in the house chillin'
You think the air is on, I'm heir to the throne
So many diamonds people stare when I put 'em on
But they don't walk up, my pockets thick like Ms. Parker
And I got the Benz parked, sparkin' up
And I got a '64 that's hard as fuck
But don't get in over your head
Supposed to be stackin' instead of spendin' most of your bread
Don't get in over your head
Supposed to be stackin' instead of spendin' most of your bread

Mike Posner Prince Akeem Comments
This is my school and I didnt know he was here.......
This song deserves way more attention
The sample is Billy Joel - Half a Mile Away if anyone wanted to know
nice job
Seeing Mike happy reminds me of what we are all capable of... what I am capable of!
it wasn't cool because the government so and y'all fools banned the SAFEST medicinal herb to control the future supply with patents and taxing.
When an awoken shows the flaw with a sick flow
There ain't no pain from others blow
Cause he can see his own glow
This was really the Mike Posner show.
Sure Wiz you had your own sick flow
But I am sticking through and through with Mike bro.
..peace....🙂❤️
One of da best songs I’ve heard this year
Mike & Wiz together again🙏🎉🔥🔥
Wiz🔥🔥🔥KING 👑
THANK YOU!!! I haven't genuinely laughed like that for a min!! You always put a smile on my face! Thank you for being you! ❤️
(Sorry I can't stand social media hopefully u'll get to see the comment you tube is my goto....) ☺️
Good vibes ughhhh
Poor Billy Joel you robbed his song from the 1978 album 52nd street. The song number 7 half a mile away
I lived in Lyons KS, was never able to pay rent because I was in the come up and was tryna make life work. I finally did tho. Mike you’re and inspiration.
Wiz verse 💯
Боже что за гавно
Actually it looks cool :> I like it :□
I took a pill in ibiza...
How can anyone dislike anything from this album?
The people u speak of are all the same. Not wanting all of society as a whole to be reminded everyday they will die is a good thing not everyone needs to feel that to move on. It's a circle of life. The companies selling stuff are all made up of the same people you claim are being held back from truly living bc they aren't constantly being reminded of our mortality doesn't mean they aren't living to their truth and potential. I dont agree how you compartmentalize concepts that I feel are abstract. Like we need to understand it all when in reality most concepts are simply a perspective, not concrete: set in stone if you will. The wild eyes and the way the mind wanders in uncertainty over you speak confidently but some how I feel like your not fully 100 percent about what your saying yourself. Almost as if thinking out loud with a hella soft voice. Its ok to no know its ok to watch tv and use shit you like in moderation sometimes we reach that conclusion sooner than later with people. I think if you speak how you feel from now till your end while valuing relationships more than you did in your past for the ones that passed well it will give you peace and let that wandering mind be at a state of rest Namaste.
Mike are you working songs for my favourite band Westlife like Sugar with Maroon 5? Because you recently liked their video My Love :)
