Lyrics
(Verse 1: BigXthaPlug)
Ay, see I'm finna go beast mode
And the rest of 'em know how I'm rockin'
They know how I pop it, they say I'm a cheat code
The king of the monsters, the biggest
They know they in trouble when I get in feast mode
Really been on this world for some years
Everybody want war but can't take what I give
Better watch what you say 'fore you get what you fear
I'm the biggest wherever [?], 'cause I'm him
On the island, I'm wilin', don't think that I'm hidin'
Every time I come out it get hectic
I'm the king of the jungle, the island
Everywhere that I stomp, you know I get respected
Think you badder than me? Then let's check it out
You ain't built for the fight, better exit now
Like that fossil, come on with the beef
Only us at the table, can't eat when we eatin'
I'm a villain, somehow I'm still savin' the street
Supernatural, so you can't compete
I done did all the work, peep the steps in the street
I done stomped from the south to the east
Really stepped from the north to the west
I done been all around this here globe
And I still got a foot on they neck and they chest
Ay, who next?
(Chorus: BigXthaPlug and Ro$ama)
I'm a king like Kong, the streets my home
Call me Godzilla, I roam alone
Takin' over the world, we come for the throne
This here ain't for the weak, you gotta be strong
Ain't no love on the island, my heart made of chrome
Heard he lookin' for war, give that boy what he want
You gon' hunt or get hunted, that's just how we come
Ain't no droppin' no beef, we don't stop 'til it's done
I'm a king like Kong, the streets my home
Call me Godzilla, I roam alone
Takin' over the world, we come for the throne
This here ain't for the weak, you gotta be strong
Ain't no love on the island, my heart made of chrome
Heard he lookin' for war, give that boy what he want
You gon' hunt or get hunted, that's just how we come
Ain't no droppin' no beef, we don't stop 'til it's done
(Verse 2: Ro$ama)
Grew up on the island and still [?]
In the jungle, I ran with the apes
Big stepper, I walk and the trees start to shake
Heavyweight, you can tell by the stars on my face
Mo' power than ever, escaped from the Hollow Earth
Titan up on the mic, gave a monster verse
[?] all my life, I done put in a lot of work
Make friends with the enemies, now it's a controversy
Two 12s beat the block like King Kong's chest
Birds fly like Godzilla's breath
To the humans I feel like a dangerous threat
But that's only the people that don't know me yet
Been ready for war, tryin' tear up the street
Since 13, I been the beast
What you mean you done stepped from the west to the east?
From the north to the south, I didn't had any means
And we rumble
Say you king of the monsters
I'm king of the apes and gorillas, that's off in the jungle
Since a young'un, was wilin' out tusslin'
People say I was always into somethin'
Big pressure, no way you could X me out
'Fore you still figure out your exit route
'Bout that action and you should come check me out
'Cause I'm next
(Chorus: BigXthaPlug and Ro$ama)
I'm a king like Kong, the streets my home
Call me Godzilla, I roam alone
Takin' over the world, we come for the throne
This here ain't for the weak, you gotta be strong
Ain't no love on the island, my heart made of chrome
Heard he lookin' for war, give that boy what he want
You gon' hunt or get hunted, that's just how we come
Ain't no droppin' no beef, we don't stop 'til it's done
