Rakim Kings Paradise Lyrics

(Luke Cage: Season 2 Soundtrack)

[Verse 1]
Welcome to Harlem, the home of innovating
Legacy, story of Gods killing Satan
Where they honor Harlem's father Philip Payton
The renaissance in the making
[?] Joe Lewis, [?]
Malcom, [?], Lewie Armstrong
Now crime is the new crave, so there's a new crusade
Salute to Luke Cage, fight for the cause
All the way to the top, [?]
Forward always for Pop, until the crown is rightfully yours
But success bring sacrifice, no one said [?]
Where everything has a price, but you paid with your life in the King's Paradise

[Chrous]
You're king-king
You're king-king
You're king-king
You're king-king
Luke Cage
Paradise
You're king-king
You're king-king
You're king-king
You're king-king
You're king

[Verse 2]
The story is complicated, he got framed for crime and got Incarcerated
Locked up, cause [?]
Experimented on and got superhero skills
But everyday, he get twice as strong
Bulletproof skin but his life is torn
The only lady he ever loved in his life is gone
Escaped prison, got to fight to right his wrong
No question, he gon take on the whole hood in a hoodie
No weapon and no cape on
One by one and knock'em out until Cottonmouth is forgotten about
Success brings sacrifice, and if you thinking it's a piece of cake
You can have a slice
It's like gambling with the Paradise, but you pays with your life in King's Paradise

[Outro]
You're king-king
You're king-king
You're king-king
You're king-king
Luke Cage
Superhero skills
You're king
