King of the Fall Lyrics

King of the Fall by The Weeknd


[Verse 1]
I'm Addy'd up, add it up, I just ate a plate for breakfast
Put it in a cup, then I mix it up with Texas
Chest feeling heavy like a midget on my necklace
b**ches that we came with got all of your b**ches jealous (Oh!)
'Bout to leave the crib with a couple of my pirates
Driving by the streets we used to walk through like a triumph
Mix it in a potion like a science
That liquid G diet got a nigga so quiet
'Cause the sh*t so strong, got me feeling like I'm dyin' (Feeling like I'm dyin')
sh*t so raw, nothing else can get me higher (Get me higher)
Only time you see me's when I'm balling with my niggas
'Cause my life too private, my ride too private (Oh!)
My flight too private, my shows so riot
My jaw so tired, I go all night in my city 'til the fall
Then it's time for me to fly her
I got a girl at home even though she ain't mine yet

[Chorus]
And she gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Know I might like it)
She gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Know I might like it)
She gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Know I might)
She gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Ohh)
Baby girl, you know what I like
Baby, you know just what I like (I like)
Baby, you know what I like, like, like, like, like

[Verse 2]
Don't be mad, let her get hers (Get her, get hers)
Don't be mad, let her get hers (Don't be mad; Get her, get hers)
She made her own luck, she don't give a f**k
She's tryna have fun, take a break from the love
Man, your girl so bad, let me get her (Get her, get her)
Your girl so bad, let me get her (Get her, get her)
I make my own luck, I make that pussy talk
On call till the fall, he can like it or not, nigga, back the f**k up
If you ain’t with me, motherf**ker, you against me ('Gainst me)
If you ain’t complimentin' nigga, you offendin' ('Fending)
I've been out here last year wasting hella time (Hella time)
XO is the only time invested
Them Fall shows every year like a birthday (Birthday)
And I'ma do it every year in my birthplace (Birthplace)
And I ain’t been this gone since Thursday (Thursday)
I never said that I’d be sober in the first place

[Chorus]
And she gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Know I might like it)
She gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Know I might like)
She gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Know I might like)
She gon' give it up 'cause she know I might like it (Yeah; Know I might like it)
Baby girl, you know what I like (Baby girl, you know what I like)
Baby, you know just what I like (Nah, nah, nah)
Baby, you know what I like, like, like, like, like
[Bridge]
Baby girl, you know what I like
Baby, you know just what I like, mm

[Verse 3]
I just passed that "Nigga fell off" stage
Just sold out the O2 at my own pace
I can say that I’m attached to nobody
I've been getting paper while these niggas tryna stop me
Shout my nigga Doc, that’s a mentor
Had some bad business, nothing personal
But now that word out that we back
On some young Quincy Jones, dark skin Michael Jackson
And these the motherf**kers that they packaged
Their new sh*t all be soundin' like my past sh*t
Bring your girl to my show, give her floor seats
Then she go downtown like she owe me
XO, XO, XO
Mix it up, pour it up, take it down slow
This my sound, nigga, f**k your sound
Did it from the ground, ask around, b**ch
When I touch down, I'ma shake sh*t up
f**k your new man, I'ma break it up
He can come back when I go on the road
But that pussy mine for the next three months
’Cause the kid back, kid back, kid back
Cop ten whips for my niggas when we land
Queen Street nigga making money overseas
Had a few more debts, I'ma pay it all in cash
Shout out XO, shout out to the boy
Broke bread on tour, man, it’s all love now
Shout my nigga Stix, doing good in these streets
Bet he popping more bottles than us right now
Reason why they stressing, city never sunny
When the kid come through with more niggas than Apollo
But ain’t sh*t funny, can’t nobody stop me
All my hoes are trained, I make all of them swallow
[Outro]
All of them swallow, all of them swallow
All of them swallow, (I make) all of them swallow
All of them swallow, all of them swallow
All of them swallow, (I make) all of them swallow
All of them swallow, all of them swallow
All of them swallow, (I make) all of them swallow
All of, all of, all of them swallow
All of them swallow, (I make) all of them swallow
