The definition of King's Disease✦
Well, also✦ known as rich man disease✦
You ain't gotta✦ be rich to get it
Just doing too much, you'll get it
Gout, uric acid levels up high
Get you some lemongrass
Some cherries, alkaline water
[Outro: Brucie B]
Haha✦
Tell a friend to tell a friend
My man Nas
It's the world-famous
