[Verse 1]
If you read into the prophecies repeated from the first ones
Evil retreated into the darkness when the verse comes
Verse came, Abel verse Cain, brothers thirst guns
So it was said he sent the plague for our first sons
Live once, but I don't believe that when the hearse come
That'll be the only outcome I was birthed from
Seek and you will find, why you think I'm on a search son?
Couple years back I was a very different person
Scheming on a jack, that's a very different purse son
Leaning off the yak, that's a very different bourbon
This isn't just rap, it's a gift and it's a curse son
Click and then I clack, they gone need someone to nurse them
Look at how I burst in, the truth sayer
Over loops and flutes that basically recruited me as soothsayer
Dooms dayer, I take you to your final chapter
Vinyls scratch the path to define your master

[Hook]
Black, beautiful, innocent child
They found me on the rivers of the Nile
Floating in a basket among the water reeds
Young boy, one day you'll be royalty

[Verse 2]
Medals round the neck, I want all titles
Rappers in my city all of them are my disciples
To the culture, I'm the one you call vital
Too many vultures got em praying to false idols
Im an odd highness, rolling blunts outta George's Bible
Tryna find another way to spark righteous
Keep it real so the frauds despise it
But its cool cos I'm a killer meeter and I'm not talking mileage
This is God science for what its worth
I flow until I form a river just to flood the earth
We stab each other in the back curse our brother's birth
And bleed into the ground to give our blood back to the dirt
We owe more than half praying to the golden calf lost
Path lost, feeling like we're on a crash course
I'm tryna add it all up but the math short
Last resort storm the castle then crash court
[Hook]
Black, beautiful, innocent child
They found me on the rivers of the Nile
Floating in a basket among the water reeds
Young boy, one day you'll be royalty

Roaming through the streets tryna turn another freak
Cos thats the only time I ever turn the other cheek
I'm rolling on the trees tryna burn another leaf
Plus we going through a drought gotta watch out for police
No justice, no peace, no equality either
Seventy percent of your salary goes to Caesar
Thirty percent goes to the priest, you're a believer
Now he's riding round in them jeeps he's a receiver
I got this new girl from the 'V' thats chicks a diva
She keep tapping into my g's I'll have to leave her
I guess what I'm trying to say is be a leader
Split-second decision make it without a breather
Do it all for the people going through these different files
What it means to be regal going through these different trials
They couldn't find a sequel, I was just a different child
They found me in the basket floating on the river Nile

[Hook]
Black, beautiful, innocent child
They found me on the rivers of the Nile
Floating in a basket among the water reeds
Young boy, one day you'll be royalty
