Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A king is born
I told you before
A king is born
Now I told you before
A king is born
[Verse 2]
Oh, yeah
Oh, no, no, no, no
[Verse 3]
Like a beast in the jungle
In the heat of the rumble
I ain't got nothin' to lose
[Verse 4]
(Hey, aye)
I've been fighting these hard times
In the ghettos of my mind
Now it's victory that I choose
(Hey, aye)
[Verse 5]
Yes, my soul is blessed
A king is born
My mind, confess I'm a bad, bad man
[Verse 6]
Ain't no one like me
I'm a legend
Ain't no one like me
I'm a legend, legend
'Cause I've been down so long
That my ground is gone, it's driftin'
Ain't no one like me
I'm a legend, legend, legend
[Verse 7]
Like a bull in a glass house
No bull, 'bout to smash house
Can't nothin' stand in my way
(Hey, aye)
I don't care what the place is
From the penthouse to pavement
Better hear what I say
(Hey, aye)
[Verse 8]
Yes, my soul is blessed
A king is born
My mind, confess I'm a bad, bad man
[Verse 9]
Ain't no one like me
I'm a legend
Ain't no one like me
I'm a legend, legend
'Cause I've been down so long
That my ground is gone, it's driftin'
Ain't no one like me
I'm a legend, legend, legend
[Verse 10]
A king is born, yeah
I told you before
Yeah
A king is born
Been broke before, but I've never been broken
I told you before
I am the truth, now the truth has spoken
[Verse 11]
A king is born, yeah
Oh, yeah
A king is born, yeah, oh
Yeah
Oh, yes
[Verse 12]
Ain't no one like me
I'm a legend
Ain't no one like me
I'm a legend, legend
'Cause I've been down so long
That my ground is gone, it's driftin'
Ain't no one like me
I'm a legend, legend, legend
A king is born
