T.I. — King Back

[Produced by Just Blaze] [Intro: Just Blaze] And the prophecy read That one day, like the phoenix arose from the ashes That a boy will be born unto a family in the slums This boy will go on to use the knowledge he gained While fighting for survival in the streets To become a great leader And in time, that boy will grow to become...
