King Heroin

Текст песни Funky 4 + 1 - King Heroin

[Intro]
Hey fellas, what y'all got there?
Aw man, y'all messin' with the king
What king man? This is drugs homeboy, high-powered drugs
Oh, so that's what you call it?
Yeah, baby, yeah
I don't care what you call it, it's still the king
Man, king who?
King heroin brother
King heroin
[Chorus]
The king is here, that's what I said
Have fun, take some, it's for your head
(King, king, king heroin, heroin!)
(King, king heroin, heroin!)
The king is here, that's what I said
It's good stuff, take a puff, it's for your head!
(King, king, king heroin, heroin!)
(King, king heroin, heroin!)
The king is here, that's what I said
That this, take a sniff, it's for your head!

[Verse 1]
Ha ha, king heroin you know me
I was raised in the land called poppy seed
Well I'm known by all throughout the world
By men, boys, women, all ages and girls
I've been used and abused by yes all sorts
Running with the politicians, causing trouble for sports
'Cause you can use me once you'll do it again
And if not by yourself, then uh, with a friend
I'll have you sniffin', noddin', I'll mess with your mind
I'll make you do it, commit all sorts of crime
I'll make a full grown man take off his watch
I'll send a greedy man to prison for the rest of his life
King heroin, you call me a drug
And yet you joke and smoke until you start to bug
I mean you spend all your money, you know you do
Because you want me, you haunt me, you know it's true
I come in nickles and dimes for the kids in schools
I come in fifties and hundreds for the bigger fools
'Cause I'm king!
[Refrain]
(King, king heroin)
King!
(King, king heroin)
King!
(King, king heroin, heroin!)
King!
(King, king heroin, heroin!)

[Verse 2]
Some call me bad but treat me good
I get you so much treated like a fool
It's a doggone shame how you stick it in your vein
It's a real live thrill when you pop the pill
I'll make a mother hate her daughter, make a father beat his son
Make them treat their child wild 'cause I'm number one
Well I'm the reason, the cause, why you do wrong
I can turn you off and turn you on
I'm not a man, not a woman, I'm just a thing
But I rule your world 'cause I'm the king
Well you could call me speed or call me blow
Ask me to get you high, I'll never say no
I love pushers, addicts, all my users
'Cause one by one I turn 'em into losers
Hey I'm king-king heroin, I'm gonna get you high before I end, my friend
[Verse 3]
Well they better listen good 'cause I'm no joke
I was there when Richard Pryor went up in smoke
Well I warned him once but he didn't learn
I got a kick out of causing a grown man to burn
'Cause I'll do it to the stars, I'll do it to the cons
It was heroin that put away Nicky Barnes
So don't you laugh 'cause you ain't slick
Admit it, I'm a habit you just can't quit
Well I could be your best friend, I could be your enemy
This brother want blow, that brother want speed
Yes I love one and I love all
'Cause when you wanna get high I'm the one you call
Now some people I help, some people I hurt
Inside every one of you is nothin' but a jerk
'Cause all I do is mess with your brain
Make you depend, drive you insane
But you don't care 'cause you think it's cool
Playin' with the king like a doggone fool
Don't try to go straight 'cause it's too late
Face it, you're hooked, your mind I took
Don't plead to the lord, ain't nothin' he will do
About the speed, the blow, the people sniffin' glue
This goes for the addicts, the ones with the habits
Don't pray, just nod, heroin is your god!
(King, king heroin, heroin!)
(King, king, king heroin)

[Outro]
Hey, the Funky 4, how y'all doin?
(Alright) (What's up!) (What's happenin' man, how you doin' Jimmy?) (Alright) (What's goin' on?)
I'm just chillin', I heard you had a show tonight
(Yeah, man, we playin' tonight, we playin' tonight) (What's happenin'?)
Well you know me, I'm gonna pick me up a hit and I'll be right on by there
(That sound kind of rough)
No, but excuse me baby, take it from a lady's point of view
Stay away from all the buddha, the blotter, all the drugs
You know I'm hip to king heroin, but all we want you to do is come to the party and be yourself
(That's right) (Just be yourself) (That's all it takes) (All them drugs are wrong man [?]) (Straight as an arrow)
(Heroin)
(King, king heroin, heroin!)
(King, king, king heroin, heroin!)
(King, king heroin, heroin!)
(Heroin)
(Heroin)
(King, king heroin, heroin!)
(King, king heroin, heroin!)
