[Intro]
{*flies buzzing*}
  Hear that? It's the flies...
  They are so annoying
 
  (Shut up, you fool! She's here!)

  Oh!

Ladies and gents...
Crystal carrying pixie peasants and warriors
Elders, ancestors, sons and daughters
Lion-hearted kings and everything in between
Take a seat, be witness

[Dave]
You consider 'em kings about to icing on cakes
Chariots cruise at tortoise speeds
Lay your bifocals on royalty
Longer than Sears catalogue, stern like matadors and factual, actual LPs
Mirror the crimson tide, the color of the Rubik's
Them duplex views got your nose up,
But cozy up to this warmth though, that long term froze is up
The jone is up, I get swallowed by the barracuda
Androids read raps off iPhones
I choke the blood out of felt tips
Heavyweights up to the front if the belt fits
The wealth is like ivory toothpicks, one out of each tusk
And must gets bust for each and every hiccup
Salute life when dawn breaks
Foreign colors faux mink lapel's on these royalty capes
I repeat, salute life when dawn breaks
Foreign colors faux mink lapel's on these royalty capes
Royalty
 
Behold, this divine alignment scrolled secretly in cloud formations
Waterfall rhythms from crowns containing galaxies
Gems from past dimensions
A bond so strong it has unbreakable status
Spits hieroglyphic scripture like a god from Atlantis {*echoes*}

[Posdnuos]
Us +3+ be the +Omega+ like fish oil
This royal right we own, no rentals
Owners of the cape express
He went fresh from the mind, you ate off the plate of fundamentals
Knocked on every door of the country's red rugs
We'll lay on floors, we walk and etched in like testament
And find the atomic number 79
On Vernon's periodic table we dine upon
Sittin on thrones gettin blown to bits
By our royal dime, fillet of fine dining
News from the east sire
Them east coast kings are still findin ways to stay on
On for play on like a damn disease
Spread the word of Ramseys and fry up a pan of these
Salute dawn when day breaks
And give me my checks with the same first name as my cape
I repeat, salute dawn when day breaks
And give me my checks with the same first name as the capes
Royalty

[Outro]
We are an army of stars unleashed
The sky takes notes when we speak
Our capes move with the wind
Because of the wings beneath
This is royalty...

The sky takes notes when we speak
Our capes move with the wind
Because of the wings beneath
This is royalty...

The sky takes notes when we speak
Our capes move with the wind
Because of the wings beneath
This is royalty... {*echoes*}
