Lyrics

Well if a tree falls deep in the dark, without hearing it
Can people be at the march without streaming it?
That’s King Billy Coke, sleep walking, really woke
They don’t wanna give you answers, they just wanna give you hope
That's King Billy Coke
Low key, Socrates
See me leaving like Peter Dutton at the apologies
I fucked around and won the lottery
Now best case, I die a fucking decade earlier than I wanna be
We can talk about it without tryna be aggressive
I ain't tryna welcome the oppressors
All I speak is facts
All I bleed is black, all I see is red
When we speaking 'bout the flag, yeah
Where the fuck you at?
King Billy, K-King King Billy sell coke, coke, coke, coke
King Billy, K-King King Billy sell dope, dope, dope, dope, dope
Why the fuck would I welcome the oppressor?
When 4 out of 5 say we’re lesser
March in the street, like and retweet for the week
Then they put the black flag in the dresser
Bruh, you know what's funny?
When they say you know what’s funny?
And they don't laugh, and you just waiting for the funny part
King Billy got jokes, King Briggsy wants smoke
And one day a year, they wear the gear like they got woke
Heavy is the head the wears the crown
What used to used to be safe and sound will get you taken out
So I went through my notes, and checked all your jokes
S’all good couple years ago, seems kinda racist now
Your hero is probably a fucking liar
Even if they hiding, I find' em like younger dryas
Bless 'em if they made it out the trap though
That depression is just made to be defacto
See me in them black pants, Black man, black hooded
Said they coming, instead of just running, I'm flat footed, yeah
Nah, that’s why I handle what I can
While you standing on your ground, you still standing on my land
You better asalamalakim, or you making a mistake
Like you shaking with Mark Lathem
They was playing nothing but that King Billy
Yeah, then he passed it down to Chris Lille, what the fuck?
I said
King Billy, K-King King Billy sell coke, coke, coke, coke
King Billy, K-King King Billy sell dope, dope, dope, dope, dope
All about the Black lives as long as it stacks likes
The black tiles done backfired, you 'bout to get baptised
Don’t fuck with me though, I rock boats till they capsize
King Billy Coke by the throat, oh yeah, that's nice
We don’t know what to say, so we just play it safe
We seem to make mistakes, so we just don’t engage
And there it is, the privilege of your heritage
Pick and choose your shoes and where the fuck you wear 'em in
Take it back to Hey, Hey with Harry Connick Jr.
Blackface from that day makes a heavy chronic user
A.B. make 'em wait, I know they want it sooner
But we had to reinforce it to protect ya from the boomer
King Billy, K-King King Billy sell coke, coke, coke, coke
King Billy, K-King King Billy sell dope, dope, dope, dope, dope
Dope, dope, dope, dope, dope, dope, dope, dope, dope, dope
Dope, dope, dope, dope, dope, dope
