Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wow, you're tellin' me about this
I'll tell you 'bout, about that
Stop talking shit, you'll walk into another trap
Uh, when all the time you know
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
[Verse 2]
Just settle down, you're losing the plot
It took you a lifetime to get where you got
If I had it all, I'd be dead in a week
If I had my way, be king for a day
[Verse 3]
Wow, watch your back on me
Well, watch your back on me
I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry but it's far too late
Tryna start a war, I've heard it all before
Now go fetch me a milkshake, don't forget the straw
[Verse 4]
Now, I don't have the time to listen to this
Don't know by now that the point you have missed
Look what you've got, it's love that it's not
Don't care what they say, be king for a day
Be king for a day
[Verse 5]
We got tonight, we got the world
Into the future, I give you my word
Open your eyes into the light, into the light
[Verse 6]
Wow, you smell of hotel soap, tryna tell your joke
Over and over, just blowing smoke
Industry standard, time after time
The higher the mountain, the higher I climb
[Verse 7]
What is the point in trying to pretend?
In single-file we queue till the end
Look what you've got, it's love that it's not
Don't care what they say, be king for a day
Be king for a day
Take all of you fuckers and blow you away
[Verse 8]
We got tonight, we got the world
Into the future, I give you my word
Open your eyes into the light, into the light
Into the light, into the light, into the light, into the light, into the light
[Verse 9]
Free from love, free from life
Free from you, I'm untouchable
Free from pain, free from evil
Free to reign, I am rising up
I'm rising up, I'm rising up, I'm rising up, I'm rising
[Verse 10]
Wow, you're telling me about this
I'll tell you 'bout, about that
Stop talking shit, you'll walk into another trap
Uh, and all the time you know, you know my name
You know my name, you know my name
Be king for a day, be king for a day
[Verse 11]
We got tonight, we got the world
Into the future, I give you my word
Open your eyes into the light, into the light
King for a day
King for a day
