De La Soul
Royalty Capes
[Intro]
It's the flies
They are so annoying
(Shut up you fool, she's here)
Ladies and gents
Crystal carrying pixie peasants and warriors
Elders, ancestors, sons and daughters
Lion hearted kings and everything in between
Take a seat, be witness

[Verse 1: Dave]
You consider 'em king, about to icing on cakes
Chariots cruise at tortoise speeds
Lay your bifocals on royalty
Longer than Sears catalogue
Stern like matadors and (factual, actual) LPs
Mirror the crimson tide
The color of the Rubics
Them duplex views got your nose up
But coozy up to this warmth though
That long term froze is up
The jawn is up
I get swallowed by the barracuda
Androids read raps off iPhones
I choke the blood out of felt tips
Heavy weights up to the front if the belt fits
The wealth is like ivory toothpicks
One out of each tusk
And must gets bust for each and every hiccup
Salute life when dawn breaks
Fawn colored faux mink lapels on these royalty capes
I repeat, salute life when dawn breaks
Fawn colored faux mink lapels around royalty capes
Royalty
[Interlude]
Behold this divine alignment scrolled secretly in cloud formations
Waterfall rhythms from crowns containing galaxies
Gems from past dimensions
A bond so strong it has unbreakable status
Spits hieroglyphic scripture like a god from Atlantis
(Atlantis, Atlantis)

[Verse 2: Posdnuos]
Us three be the omega like fish oil
This royal right we own, no rentals
Owners of the cape express
He went fresh from the mind, you ate off the plate of fundamentals
Knocked on every door of the country's red rugs
We'll lay on floors
We walk and etched in like testament
And find the atomic number 79
On Vernon's periodic table we dine upon
Sittin' on thrones gettin' blown to bits
By our royal dime, fillet of fine dinin'
News from the east sire
Them east coast kings are still findin' ways to stay on
On for play on like a damn disease
Spread the word of Ramses and fry up a pan of these
Salute dawn when day breaks
And give me my checks with the same first name as my cape
I repeat salute dawn when day breaks
And give me my checks with the same first name as the capes
Royalty
[Outro]
We are an army of stars unleashed
The sky takes notes when we speak
Our capes move with the wind
Because of the wings beneath
This is royalty
The sky takes notes when we speak
Our capes move with the wind
Because of the wings beneath
This is royalty
The sky takes notes when we speak
Our capes move with the wind
Because of the wings beneath
This is royalty (This is royalty)
