KingTMC*  gives us his 3rd Single

Climbing on is the third single from KingTMC’s upcoming mixtape called The Ghetto Nerd, this song features one of Zambia’s up and coming vocalist, a man with an Angel’s voice; Jack. The song is an inspirational type to signify that no matter how many times people may try to discourage you, you have the unfettered power to keep climbing on to reach your destiny. Also there’s a little bit of King Venting against being treated like a pawn in this game of chess called the industry…

Climbing On – Lyrics

Intro verse:

They have me riding on a new wave, dude I was there long before these tides changed;

I was the hurricane can’t you see the Nimbus in my eyes as I pour rain?

I was a cyclone, lost ’em in my vortex like a twister to this windstorm;

Watch how my tornado shook away this bloody windform;

I put my head in rain, just to get a brainstorm.

Check my energy, that is seismic to this wave train, kids will be kids,

Let my words create an earthquake; they called me a tsunami;

Just prepare for my word pour, I opened up my mind,

They thought it was a closed door…King!

 

BRIDGE and HOOK:

Say…They look at me and say, he’s useless he loves play;

so he’ll go astray, but I tell them I will stay,

can’t you see that I am strong; on the top I do belong,

my success won’t be that loooong…oh oh oh

 

Say…They look at me and say, he’s useless he loves play;

so he’ll go astray, but I tell them I will stay,

can’t you see that I am strong; on the top I do belong,

my success won’t be that long, I’ve been down I’ve seen this road;

I have shed my tears and more

but that won’t hold me no more and I know I’ve seen it all…oh oh oh

Say…They look at me and say, he’s useless he loves play;

so he’ll go astray, but I tell them I will stay,

so if they say I can’t ama tell them I am strong; on the top I do belong,

my success won’t be that long, ama keep on climbing on

( ama keep on climbing on, ama keep on climbing on), I’ll go on, I’ll go on ye ye ye….

 

KingTMC Verse:

They have me riding on a new wave, dude I was there long before these tides changed;

I was the hurricane can’t you see the Nimbus in my eyes as I pour rain?

I was on my grind, I can never stop; so I put my soul in my pen to write

These poems, yeah PenSoul is deep, that kid’s got talent; can’t you see my heart bleed,

I put that on a palette; trynna paint a picture with that picture perfect pain;

But it’s all just in my brain, but if this is how it all starts then twenty 06 with a pen and a paper,

Trynna tell a story but it all turned into vapour;

Daddy built my dream and momma said I shouldn’t quit,

But love was like a suicide to which I can’t commit.

Friends on the radio, but I am not a kiss ass; I believe in hardwork,

I’ve been on my grind since a youngin’ from the ghetto,

John Laing to be precise; one day they will hear me, if I roll my dice;

See my poetry’s like bread, now they’re asking for a slice.

I’ve been pacing, racing, chasing hoping I could make it; defacing,

But these records ain’t impressing, now watch the way I break it, then remake it,

With these records I am settin’ and these bars I am spittin’ cuz I  am King without question… Ahhh!

 

Back To Chorus

Say…They look at me and say, he’s useless he loves play;

so he’ll go astray, but I tell them I will stay,

can’t you see that I am strong; on the top I do belong,

my success won’t be that loooong…oh oh oh

Say…They look at me and say, he’s useless he loves play;

so he’ll go astray, but I tell them I will stay,

can’t you see that I am strong; on the top I do belong,

my success won’t be that long, I’ve been down I’ve seen this road;

I have shed my tears and more

but that won’t hold me no more and I know I’ve seen it all…oh oh oh

Say…They look at me and say, he’s useless he loves play;

so he’ll go astray, but I tell them I will stay,

so if they say I can’t ama tell them I am strong; on the top I do belong,

my success won’t be that long, ama keep on climbing on

( ama keep on climbing on, ama keep on climbing on), I’ll go on, I’ll go on ye ye ye….
