AI wake up, check my phone
AJump in my whip, and off I go
I Cpay off the poBlice to stay Bbout of my waAy
I got it alEl sewn up
And I'm kinDgpin for a dAay
AI got the blues, I got the reds
AYellowtops, and spiderlegs
You'd swCear it's from heaven but it aBll grows BbnaturallAy
I got it Eall right here
And I'm kDingpin for a dAay
When you're the kGingpin
DAll the eyes are on your Acrown
When you're the Gkingpin
DPeople want to take you Adown
When you're the kGingpin
DNobody can show, Fnobody can show
GNobody can show you hAow
ADon't want no trouble, but when trouble comes
AI know a guy, who gets it done
He'll sCerve it right up Bto you on a Bbrusty trayA  
I don't cEare about tomorrow
I'm kingpDin for today
When you're the kGingpin
DAll the eyes are on your Acrown
When you're the Gkingpin
DPeople want to take you Adown
When you're the kGingpin
DNobody can show, Fnobody can show
GNobody can show you hAow
Solo
When you're the kGingpin
DAll the eyes are on your Acrown
When you're the Gkingpin
DPeople want to take you Adown
When you're the kGingpin
DNobody can show, Fnobody can show
GNobody can show you hAow

I wake up, check my phone

Jump in my whip, and off I go

C B Bb A

I pay off the police to stay out of my way

I got it all sewn up

D A

And I'm kingpin for a day

I got the blues, I got the reds

Yellowtops, and spiderlegs

C B Bb A

You'd swear it's from heaven but it all grows naturally

I got it all right here

D A

And I'm kingpin for a day

When you're the kingpin

D A

All the eyes are on your crown

When you're the kingpin

D A

People want to take you down

When you're the kingpin

D F

Nobody can show, nobody can show

G A

Nobody can show you how

Don't want no trouble, but when trouble comes

I know a guy, who gets it done

C B Bb A

He'll serve it right up to you on a rusty tray

I don't care about tomorrow

I'm kingpin for today

When you're the kingpin

D A

All the eyes are on your crown

When you're the kingpin

D A

People want to take you down

When you're the kingpin

D F

Nobody can show, nobody can show

G A

Nobody can show you how

Solo

When you're the kingpin

D A

All the eyes are on your crown

When you're the kingpin

D A

People want to take you down

When you're the kingpin

D F

Nobody can show, nobody can show

G A

Nobody can show you how
