King Lyrics


Oh, whoa, whoa
Ooh
(I'm a, I'm a)
You can call me, you can call me king
(I'm a king)
You can call me, you can call me king
(I'm a, I'm a)
You can call me, you can call me king
(I'm a, I'm a)
You can call me, you can call me king
(I'm a, I'm a)
I'ma
I am a king, I was born on the Eastside of Detroit city
It's like a jungle but I survived
I used to dream that I had a pair of wings
And I would fly with the angels, I would hear melodies
Then I wake up, um, and I would tell my revelation
But they say, "You're just a boy with a big imagination"

(I'm a)
I am a king
Call me king, call me king
Call me king, call me king, king, oh
Call me king, call me king
Call me king, call me king, king, oh
(I know who I am)
I am in the air
Had to move to the Westside, didn't have no money
I was raised to have some pride
I used to sing, oh, sing to ease the pain
And I knew one day that my voice would bring change
I am a king
Call me king, call me king
Call me king, call me king, king, oh
(I know who I am and who I am)
Call me king, call me king
Call me king, call me king, king, oh
(I know who and who)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You can call me, you can call me king
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You can call me, you can call me king
You are the winner, you may have come from the slums
But you're the one, you were made in His image and glory
You're supposed to be, um, the leader of your home
Please understand my brother, I believe that you can
Leave the pain, eh, reach down in your soul
And you will reach every goal
And the whole would know
Ah, you are a king
Call me king, call me king
Call me king, call me king, king, oh
Call me king, call me king
Call me king, call me king, king, oh
How many nights I cried get here
So many others give up on the try to get here
You don't remember nothing else I said
Gotta get this in your head
You are a king
Call me king

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Born and raised in the Motor City , Haddon was another gospel child prodigy, both as minister and musician. He gave his first sermon at the church of his father, Bishop Clarence Haddon, at age 11, and was directing the choir by age 13.

Haddon began his recording career in the mid 90s with the Voices of Unity on the small Tyscot label. As the group leader for their three albums, Haddon expressed his forward looking musical view, merging elements of soul, hip-hop and funk in the group's Gospel music. VOU had some mild success on the Gospel charts, but by the late 90s Haddon was ready to move more clearly front and center as a solo artist. His first two solo albums, This is My Story and Chainbreaker continued his artistic development and made some moderate noise on the Gospel charts.

However, I’m not sure that even the devoted fan base he had been accumulating could have anticipated his late 2002 release, Lost and Found, his first on giant Gospel label Verity. A project as ambitious as Tonex’s noted debut, Pronounced Toe-Nay, Lost and Found is an exhaustive, inspired opus by a Gospel artist who, with its release, clearly declared himself a new Gospel star.

The disc begins sounding like a dance Gospel album, leading off with two funky numbers, “D.D.” and “Oh Yeah” (the latter featuring the ubiquitous Fred Hammond). From there it covers broad territory, including bluesy, southern soul (“Ain’t Got Nothing” and the radio hit, “Sinner’s Prayer”), Praise & Worship (“Worship Medley”), Prince-style electric soul (“It’s Me”), big ballads (“Stand Still”) and joyous calypso (“The Praises Go (Up, Up, Up)”). Haddon is literally bursting with musical ideas on the album and, amazingly, virtually all work. Equally impressive is the strong lyrical content of the disc – much of it autobiographical -- focusing principally on the power of redemption and the ability of faith to rescue lost or miscast souls.

It took me almost two months to review Lost and Found, mostly because it took so long to fully absorb such an ambitious project. Now I can clearly say that this stands, with Mary Mary’s “Thankful” and Tonex’s “O2,” as perhaps the definitive modern Gospel album of this decade, and is a must for both Soul and Gospel lovers.
