King (feat. H.U.R.T)
Bizzle
The True King: A Call for Authenticity and Humility
Bizzle's song "King (feat. H.U.R.T)" is a powerful critique of the self-proclaimed kings and gods in the music industry and society at large. The song emphasizes the supremacy of God, contrasting it with the hollow claims of earthly power and materialism. Bizzle opens by challenging the notion that everyone can be a king or god, asserting that true kingship belongs to God alone. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where he repeatedly tells others to "simmer down" and "get your hands off the crown," underscoring the futility of their claims to greatness.
The lyrics delve into the superficiality of material wealth and fame, likening it to a game of Monopoly where all the accumulated property is ultimately meaningless. Bizzle uses the metaphor of clay and pottery to illustrate human dependence on God, the ultimate potter. He criticizes the glorification of violence and materialism in the music industry, pointing out the hypocrisy and emptiness of such lifestyles. The line "GOD over money boy, that’s just my philosophy" encapsulates his belief that spiritual wealth far outweighs material riches.
H.U.R.T's verse further amplifies this message by exposing the falsehoods in gangsta rap and the disconnect between the artists' lyrics and their real lives. He calls out the artists who promote violence and crime while living comfortably in the suburbs, highlighting the irresponsibility of spreading such messages. H.U.R.T emphasizes that true kingship involves responsibility and positive influence, not just empty boasts and harmful rhetoric. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of God's unique kingship, urging listeners to recognize the one true King and reject the false idols of fame and fortune.
