[Verse 1: Cole Hedgecoth]

I used to be a King

I used to have it all far as I could see

Used to being praised in the streets

Everybody knew what I could be

Man, I used to be a King

Can’t nobody tell me what to do

I’m the only one who makes the rules

I’m the only one who’s in control

If you’re challenging the throne, so you know

I don’t tolerate any opposing views

I’m the King

Everybody in my circle understands

That they execute and follow through with what I plan

I don’t need no questions from a smaller man

Cause I’ve been doing this longer

Than you’ve been on my land

Hindsight is so clear

When you look in the rear view

If I don’t ask you a question

I don’t expect to hear you

You best not be speaking to me how you appear to

Cause I got the power to make nobody miss you

When the king is in the room

You better be ready to explain the things you do

You better be ready to run away from the truth

Cause I’ll never stop pursuing

The enemy and his troops

And I guess that’s you

You’re either for me or against me

But I have to make you choose

I can’t afford to fail in front of everyone I used

But it’s me against the world

And I don’t plan to lose

[Chorus: Wendy Laraine]

Don’t know why you’re doing this to me

Gave you everything you wanted

Guess we went on different sides

And the timing wasn’t right

But now you’re gone

Don’t know why you’re doing this to me

Gave you everything you wanted

Guess we went on different sides

And the timing wasn’t right

But now you’re gone

[Verse 2]

Back when I was king

There wasn’t nobody who tried to compete

There wasn’t nobody who’s better than me

Doesn’t matter who I’m up against

How do you recommend

A battle for common sense

They looking for Harvey Dent

That’s why I had to lament

And talk about the pressure of a King

The pressure under me

The pressure they don’t know about

Until they have to lead

I’ll do anything it takes

And I don’t give a…. if you in my way

I’ll be a killer so I can win the game

Crown bigger than Godzilla but God did it

New religion in my vision, it’s God given

I need pride, it’s no slide like Kenny Pickett

I’ll swing through on my time and pay a visit

As long as I get the chance to get all the attention

Long live the king

Made no mistakes but I feel so empty

I live in this castle alone through the week

And my throne might be gold

But my soul is so weak

The King!

Don’t I wish this was different?

Spent all of my time focusing on the mission

I’m missing my family, my wife, my kids

I got nothing but broken hearts and loneliness

[Chorus]

Don’t know why you’re doing this to me

Gave you everything you wanted

Guess we went on different sides

And the timing wasn’t right

But now you’re gone

Don’t know why you’re doing this to me

Gave you everything you wanted

Guess we went on different sides

And the timing wasn’t right

But now you’re gone
