Four years ago, something great started
And I'm ballin' in macomb like I'm James Harden
I was hopin' one day I would walk the red carpet
And I wear green and white, you can call me a Spartan
Even when I got the flu, I dropped a new track and they said bring something new
They tellin' me to stop, I said tell me something new
I was hearin' at a time that dreams come true
But it's false, it was like a phone call
First you gonna pick it up, then you gonna hang
Talkin' bout my life, think I'm part of some gang
I gotta make it end, say goodnight sweet prince
Cause I'm playin' QB, other team callin' Blitz
I got sacked in the back, I'm Dak, no Pat
I'm Brady, not Mahomes just a kid with a goal who lives in macomb
Say goodnight sweet prince cause he's gone
He ain't goin' to the grave but he's gone
Yeah he ain't comin' back cause he's gone
He ain't comin' back cause he's done
Now they call me Dave Kro and they call me the king
But just know I ain't a puppet, you ain't pullin' on my strings
Yeah the prince is on a nap, and that shit became permanent
I'll confirm that shit is true, I'll make sure it's affirmative
I had to come up with a way, cause I had no alternatives
And they said to bring him back, but I don't know where my journal is
Workin' everyday until my life gave out
But I had to say goodbye, there was no way out
I ain't goin' for the fame, I ain't comin' for clout
But say goodnight sweet prince, cause I said prince out
Cause I ain't no prince, I'm the king, call me Dave Kro
I'll be puttin' up a show in Macomb, yeah
It's Macomb, make it snow
Say goodnight sweet prince cause the king said hello
Yeah, this is my home
It's been eight whole months, I've been sleepin' alone
Cause Medusa looked at me, and she turned me to stone
And they forgot me, and they robbed me
Why they do it? That's beyond me
They been askin' why I rap, I said that this is my hobby
People told me I ain't shit, now they say that I'm godly
Cause I am, and I ain't Aubrey Graham, but I don't give a damn
I been grindin' for years, and I took my exam
And they said that I failed, and they were right
I been up all night
I been thinkin' bout my future but there ain't no light
I been thinkin' bout my future but it's not his sight
Thought I took my last shot, thought I'm hittin' the bricks
Yeah, I thought I left the table, got a few more chips
I was down for the ten, got a few more hits
And that's cause I'm now the king, say goodnight sweet prince
