King’s Paradise Rakim

[Verse 1]
Welcome to Harlem, the home of innovating
Legacies, stories of Gods killing Satan
Where they honor Harlem's father Philip Payton
The renaissance in the making
Ellington, Garvey, Joe Louis, Lena Horne
Malcolm, Maya, Louis Armstrong
But now crime is the new crave, so it's a new crusade
So salute to Luke Cage
Fight for the cause, all the way to the top Rivalry wars, life can be lost
No time for remorse
Forward, always for Pop, until the crown is rightfully yours
But success brings sacrifice
And knowing what's at stake
The pressure could crack a pipe
But everything has a price
But you pay with your life in the King's Paradise
