Kingdom

I was sitting at the corner
Staring at a dollar
When a guy asked me a question
"D'you wish to never to be alone,
Never to be broke,
Always to be right?"
So I stood on my feet for just a second
I took a good look at him
And then I said, "Ya know, man"
I said, "I'm still gonna be alone
Still gonna be broke
But I know that I'll be alright"

'Cause I remember when my dad said "Son,
This life isn't owed to you
A million things could go wrong for you
But at least you got your freedom"
He said, "One day you will be all grown up
And I will be older too
And you can do whatchu wanna do
Just remember where you came from
And your life could be a kingdom"
And your life could be a kingdom

I was sipping from a bottle
Thinking 'bout tomorrow
When I asked myself a question
"Will I always be alone,
Always be broke,
Never gon' be right?"
But I remember, when the kids
They used to tease me 'bout my life
And my momma, she would say
When I got home from school that night
"If you ever feel alone
Ever feel broke
Know you'll be alright"

'Cause you remember when your dad said "Son,
This life isn't owed to you
A million things could go wrong for you
But at least you got your freedom"
He said, "One day you will be all grown up
And I will be older too
And you can do whatchu wanna do
Just remember where you came from
And your life could be a kingdom"
And your life could be a kingdom
Yeah just remember when you came from
And your life could be a kingdom
