Lyrics

One night at the disco, I wanted to dance slow
I saw a sweet baby, such a fine lady
And I walked up to ask her, but some dude just grabbed her
I told him to back off, cut me some slack off
I see you come here, drinking that cheap beer
Act like you own it, I can't condone it
You show me no respect, you got to get off it
You got to get with it, time for a swift kick
You see, I own this town, you best not come around
If you wanna get by, then cool it down
If you wanna start something, know one thing, I'm king
If you wanna mess around like that, that's just how it is
If you wanna get by, then mind your biz
If you wanna start something, know one thing, I'm king
You wanted attention, and did I mention?
Nobody likes you except for the losers
You made a whole army, an army of babies
Some of them stupid, some of them crazy
Pick up your action, act like a grown man
Look at the winners, you can be like them
Life is so easy, pleasant and dreamy
If you get off me, if you get with me
You see, I own this town, you best not come around
If you wanna get by, then cool it down
If you wanna start something, know one thing, I'm king
If you wanna mess around like that, that's just how it is
If you wanna get by, then mind your biz
If you wanna start something, know one thing, I'm king
You can't break me, never take me
That's just how it is
You can't break me, never shake me
Clear out of my biz
You see, I own this town, you best not come around
If you wanna get by, then cool it down
If you wanna start something, know one thing, I'm king
If you wanna mess around like that, that's just how it is
If you wanna get by, then mind your biz
If you wanna start something, know one thing, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king
