lyrics

(Hook - Akil Pratt)
I'm the type to stay down and build, here's some clarity
Trying to compete with myself, so beware of me
Grab an idea make it airtight technically
No real thoughts about becoming a celebrity
But I feel the pressure
Since time is a commodity that's precious
So I move with celerity
Fresher than some celery, God knows what best for me
Infinity pool with the flows, don't go testing me

(Verse - K1NG ELJAY)
Always had the recipe
Dating back to when I used to review mixtapes and LPs as my specialty
Thankfully I dared to dream
Covering music that ain't age well truthfully just turned into some stress for me
Now I take the pen out and flex to free
Up my mind a bit
It's like a stretch to me to craft the lyrics carefully
Effervescent, F'n up a beat to make it rest in peace
Ghostwriting the script at its tombstone or effigy
Yeah it free my mind to write, but it ain't right to do this free
Im'ma need a fee to drop these freestyles so flawlessly
Unless its ChriStyle calling a favor in don't message me
Or even Akil, I guess that's how I'm even present, b
Dawg, I'd rather focus moving forward with my company
L1TEWORK, tryna be the best on Alabama scene
Wait I mean, tryna be the best that Bama seen
Wait I mean, tryna be my best so Alabama's seen
The schemes too clever, not even aware of competitors
Several levels ahead of them leave 'em dead and beheaded
Via the words and the lyrics I said
Godbody flow, so if you quote a king
Make sure you inking my writtens in red
Kintsugi mode, I break everything apart
And fix it back with more value than it had from the start
This a different kind of hunger leaking through my art from my heart
Back when I used to fast track ideas at Railroad Park
Q would smoke weed
I'd sit on that park bench and smoke beats
Funny how it's lit no matter how I choose to proceed
Mama asked me if I found my calling, guess we gone see
Plant my feet to channel my aggression and then sow seeds
Spirit of a champion you seek? See that's on me
So don't get too spooked when you see the way I ghost these
People tryna leech and ride the wave, hope you drown, we
Nowhere near the same caliber, but I'm gone teach
You a lesson anytime you challenge, boy I'm top three
Aint a rapper in the city consistent as young K1NG
Griselda's success initially used to slow-sting
Because that's the same idea I had for the old team
Then Matthew 11:28 thru 30, it hit me
That all who are weary can come to me
And I'll give you rest, cuz the burden is easy
And that yoke is light, now you get it
I ain't gone leave, but do me a favor, make better music
That ain't a bar, I just wanna see if you can do it
I ain't missed since 2016, and I can prove it
Hit my bandcamp and tell me how I keep improving
CLVRFLD LP, Process, Triptych
Graduation, Second Page, K1NG, Royalty Tape
Freeverse, Kintsugi, Writing Prompts Trilogy
Show me any () with a catalog that's trill as me in Bama, dawg

(Hook)

about

K1NG ELJAY Birmingham, Alabama

I just want to make music you can feel.

Based in Alabama for now, but feel free to check out the releases on the page (which are all available for free), and tell a friend to do the same thing.

Feel free to pay if you rock with it, but no pressure.

I appreciate you for even giving this a chance. I won't disappoint, I promise.

L1TEWORK.
