Benny the Butcher – “Crowns for Kings” Live Session | Vevo Ctrl
Benny the Butcher – Crowns For Kings (Ctrl)
“I’m here cause I deserve to be,” rhymes Benny the Butcher during our Ctrl session, and he ain’t lying. As suggested by the clout of his latest album ‘The Plugs I Met,’ the Buffalo MC is firing on all pistons, showing his strength on tracks that feature Pusha T and Black Thought among others. “Crowns for Kings” is one of the project fiercest tracks, overflowing with pride and riddled with authority. Watch Buffalo’s East Side royalty spit his heart out.

[Intro: Benny the Butcher] Uh, every king will be crowned Trust me Uh
[Verse 1: Benny the Butcher] This marathon shit, so let's see who first to the finish If it's less than a hundred racks, it don't deserve your attention 'Cause burdens come with it, my second test was servin' a sentence My first was make a brick jump like it was hurdlin' fences Certainly, my last shit was a courtesy, nigga And further, we had bustdowns before you heard of me, nigga Shoeboxes stacked with racks sittin' vertically in 'em I'm fresh out of luck, I'm here 'cause I deserve to be, nigga I sat back, a vet, and watched beginners winnin' my belts Burned my bridges, came back a good swimmer like Phelps You know the feeling, young black male, what y'all dealin'? Take your whole life to get it, it only last you a minute In the kitchen countin' cash with cats with backward agendas Put a Benz in the brick, then toss it back in the blender That was us, next to a big like I was Puff The good die young, all the OGs thirty and up In Alexander McQueen kicks just to dirty 'em up Money tree, branches break when they not sturdy enough, uh See, I was good with the bad guy role Water in my jewels, put 'em on and baptize hoes Walk in my shoes, we got Shaq-sized soles (Huh) We flatline those wack rap niggas wearin' half-sized clothes What's the dealy? I'm only 'bout six hours from Philly That's an hour on the plane, I'll make it three in the Bentley My bitch keep sayin' I'm famous, but it ain't hit me I'm too ghetto, mellowed out, this Hollywood shit tricky See, before I knew an A&R, I was weighin' hard Back when Nicki Minaj was in a trainin' bra You play this game, you better play it hard The judge'll give you life and later that day, he gon' be playin' golf I'm from that era, we don't pay it if you weighed it wrong Back when your parents got your baby shoes plated bronze We took hip-hop and made it ours I sold quarters, just so happens I'm the author of your favorite songs They bullshitted me, I played along More bars than them niggas who got hit with the Reagan laws Let's go
Best AL Green sample yet
OMG the bars man the fucking bars!!!!!! Big up Benny!!!

[Verse 1: Benny the Butcher]
This marathon shit, so let's see who first to the finish
If it's less than a hundred racks, it don't deserve your attention
'Cause burdens come with it, my second test was servin' a sentence
My first was make a brick jump like it was hurdlin' fences
Certainly, my last shit was a courtesy, nigga
And further, we had bustdowns before you heard of me, nigga
Shoeboxes stacked with racks sittin' vertically in 'em
I'm fresh out of luck, I'm here 'cause I deserve to be, nigga
I sat back, a vet, and watched beginners winnin' my belts
Burned my bridges, came back a good swimmer like Phelps
You know the feeling, young black male, what y'all dealin'?
Take your whole life to get it, it only last you a minute
In the kitchen countin' cash with cats with backward agendas
Put a Benz in the brick, then toss it back in the blender
That was us, next to a big like I was Puff
The good die young, all the OGs thirty and up
In Alexander McQueen kicks just to dirty 'em up
Money tree, branches break when they not sturdy enough, uh
See, I was good with the bad guy role
Water in my jewels, put 'em on and baptize hoes
Walk in my shoes, we got Shaq-sized soles (Huh)
We flatline those wack rap niggas wearin' half-sized clothes
What's the dealy? I'm only 'bout six hours from Philly
That's an hour on the plane, I'll make it three in the Bentley
My bitch keep sayin' I'm famous, but it ain't hit me
I'm too ghetto, mellowed out, this Hollywood shit tricky
See, before I knew an A&R, I was weighin' hard
Back when Nicki Minaj was in a trainin' bra
You play this game, you better play it hard
The judge'll give you life and later that day, he gon' be playin' golf
I'm from that era, we don't pay it if you weighed it wrong
Back when your parents got your baby shoes plated bronze
We took hip-hop and made it ours
I sold quarters, just so happens I'm the author of your favorite songs
They bullshitted me, I played along
More bars than them niggas who got hit with the Reagan laws
Let's go
Benny goes so hard on this. Sometimes I just need to come back and listen.
Benny killed this
Burned my bridGes, came back a Good swimmer like Phelps.
The beat is straight flames
I wish I could remember my F-n wallet, this fly guy remembers all of this. Legendary
The plant coffee thessaly enter because anthropology identically list except a trite support. craven, marked kendo
thats what you call a rapper
“Sat back a vet and watched beginners winning my belts, burnt my bridges came back a good swimmer like Phelps.”
Burn my bridges. Came back a good swimmer like phelps
The dull mark recurrently plug because squash intialy regret since a adorable bath. tightfisted, towering bench
This is easily the best rap song in the past decade
Where is black thought's???
