Shad - Intro: Quest for Glory Lyrics

Once upon a time there was an old prince
And this old prince had a problem
And his problem was that
Well, he was an old prince
Princes aren't supposed to be old

Brother please, no more Pamela Lee's, let's set it straight
I'm the biggest thing out of Canada 'till Quebec separate
And I never medicate, so y'all feel me if I'm ill

When it comes time to rock like the stone age
On a, on a, on a
On a quest for glory, on a quest for glory
On a quest for glory, on a quest for glory
On a
