Prince Akeem ft @wizkhalifa prod by @davidbannerlikespictures out now. Link in bio. Hello Colorado 🙏🏻🌳🌼✨🦁 I spent a few hours this morning reflecting on how grateful I was for everybody that helped me across Kansas. When I first cross the border into Kansas, I was really struggling. My body was shutting down and my mind wasn’t far behind it. So I wanted to go in word and be alone, I had to get in touch with why I was on this walk in the first place. I was here to connect with people, listen to their stories and hopefully help them experience transcendence. The people who showed up to walk with me, spiritually carried me the 400+ miles across the state. I made it to CO so new song! This song will be dedicated to everyone who walked with me across Kansas. I’m talking about Chris and his daughter who taught me the state motto, Ad astra, per a Spera: Through hardship, to the stars. I’m talking about Chad. I’m talking about Ryan. I’m talking about Antonio. I’m talking about Kelly. I’m talking about the whole city of Emporia. I’m talking about Jordan and his entire family. I’m talking about Garrett who came from Oklahoma to walk. I’m talking about Tony came from Kansas City to walk. I’m talking about Isaac and summer came from Texas to walk. I’m talking about Nicholas. I’m talking about Justin and Nicholas who came twice. I’m talking about Brandon who came countless days and provided supplies. I’m talking about Angie and Travis who gave us ice. Mason who came on his way from Florida and has more figured out then he realizes. I’m talking about Chris who showed up three or four days in a row at 5 AM to do the silent three hour walking meditation with me and do the shooting stars. I’m talking about my love, one of my best friends in the world flew out to support his brother. I’m talking about Devon and his family. I’m talking about the countless babies and families I met in great Bend. I’m talking about Carlos. I’m talking about Mario. If I didn’t mention your name, don’t underestimate the impact you had on me. Every time someone shows up to walk with me I am instantly energized. THANK YOU. This song is dedicated to you. KEEP GOING

“Prince Akeem” Lyrics

(Intro: Mike Posner)
Good morning!
This that alarm clock song.
I made it for you to wake up to.

(Verse 1: Mike Posner)
Ah, you know I came to rip the scene apart.
My whole life is a piece of art.
Oh, and this is just a brushstroke.
Oh, I made it in the biz they said was cutthroat
Oh, I’m gettin’ where I wanna be.
But honestly, I can’t even tell if that’s really where I wanna be.
I’m not a commodity.
I am on an odyssey.
Used to be a wannabe,
Now I’m what I wanted to be. (Woo!)
I’m an underdog, dog, I’m Ralph Nader-ing.
Following my intuition now and that’s a major win.
I’m Taylor Swift, mixed with Ruth Bader Gins.
Liberation is the flavor that I’m savorin’ (it’s mmm).
Fake breasts and makeup, they don’t turn me on.
Life is a game and, yes, the journey’s long.
Growin’ my beard was just like me putting my jersey on.
Coach K saw the light in me early on.

(Interlude: Mike Posner)
Ooh (Oh you don’t believe?)

(Interlude: Coach K)
Mike Posner, boy is he talented. I mean…

(Mike Posner)
That’s from ‘08.

(Coach K)
Yeah, he is so talented.

(Mike Posner)
What up, Nolan!
Jon, go get ’em! Woo!

(Verse 2: Mike Posner)
We ’bout to take it to a new level.
Even when I’m sad I give ’em hell, I’m a Blue Devil.
Her boyfriend wrote a book; I was unimpressed.
I don’t care about her man if it wasn’t Hesse (oh).
I might do Everest, you never know (oh).
And change is like a metronome (oh).
I never read The Untethered Soul.
I already got an untethered soul.
I wasted years trying to become better known.
Right when I gave that up is when I became better known.
Oh, this is that Michigan December flow.
I got two lifetimes worth of ideas in my Evernote (oh).
Old soul, Fender Rhodes.
Complemented outwardly now for my inner glow.
And since I’ve seen,
I changed my look to see who really loves me.
I’m Prince Akeem.

(Interlude: Wiz Khalifa)
See when I was coming up, I was always one of them niggas who did what the fuck I want.
Smokin’ weed on TV wasn’t even cool. Now that shit legal.
So back then, from causing trouble to right now, I’m a muhfuckin’ businessman.
Hahahaha, uh.

(Verse 3: Wiz Khalifa)
Too rich to ever fit in; you wait in front, I get in.
You talk too much, I listen.
You blind, I got the vision.
The day I work for myself, that was the best decision.
You livin’ check to check, I check to see what checks I’m gettin’.
You get no respect until respect is given.
I live with no regret, you regret where you livin’.
Still got the yellow card, we in the house chillin’.
You think the air is on, I’m heir to the throne.
So many diamonds, people stare when I put ‘em on.
But they don’t walk up, my pockets thick like Mrs. Parker.
And I got the Benz parked sparkin’ up.
And I got a 6’4 that’s hard as fuck.
But don’t get in over your head;
Supposed to be stackin’ instead of spending most of your bread.
Don’t get in over your head;
Supposed to be stackin’ instead of spending most of your bread.
