Sam Lachow – King Lear Lyrics

Pa-pa-pa-pa My bald dad is way too fucking cool for a toupée
My little brother won't stop playing NBA, 2K!
My girl says I should make some real hip-hop, like Lupe
And stop saying you bitch in every song
Touché!
Damn, I have no money when I need it
These days I don't seem to get the munchies when I'm weeded
Last song was hella hot but never caught a buzz
I guess I'm not the famous rapper that I thought I was

I'm always late to the venue
I'm always ready to order
I never check out the menu
Then you, quickly realize you passed on the right dish
And when your homie's plate arrives
You gonna ask for a bite shit
Then you, hit the stage and realize none of your people showed up
Instead of feeling crunchy, you blame it on your promoter
And you, tell your friends they offend you
You don't feel any better than you did but you pretend to

I had to check my altitude again
I'm too high, ego's too high
I had to calm down
Who's the cool guy now?
I'm King Lear
I'm King Lear
A human being
I'm King Lear
My altitude again
I'm too high, ego's too high
I had to come down
Who's the cool guy now
I'm King Lear
I'm King Lear
A human being, I'm King Lear
Yesterday a blogger told me switch up my style
Maybe then they'll write about the track you worked so long on
Maybe then you'll find a fucking blog to put your song on
Damn, Sam
Is that what YouTube needs?
Another stoner white rapper on your YouTube screen?
I keep telling myself I'm happening
The hottest kid in Manhattan
I'm rapping around my thoughts
With a Maker's Mark on the rocks
My ladies love me, how bitching is that?
I like to show off to my friends
All the women I bag
So when I'm feeling insecure about my lyrics and raps
I just cure my insecurities secure it with that

When I'm in Seattle
I'm feeling sort of important
Then I fly back to New York
And see how enormous the world is

I'd like to make a song that makes the Earth a better place
But I'm not a king, I guess that better wait

I had to check my altitude again
I'm too high, ego's too high
I had to calm down
Who's the cool guy now?
I'm King Lear
I'm King Lear
A human being
I'm King Lear
My altitude again
I'm too high, ego's too high
I had to come down
Who's the cool guy now?
I'm King Lear, I'm King Lear
A human being I'm King Lear
I'm not a God, I'm not a king
I'm just a human being that's alive
And I give thanks to the Almighty gravity
That keeps the kingdom on the ground
Cause it gets me when I come down
I'm so high
I need to open my eyes, need to open my mind
And so do you
And so do you
