Forever King Songtext
von Tragic Hero

Me, I just, I just wanted to be wanted
Just wanted to be wanted


Uh, told pops that I loved him I was only nine
Just before attention from the water fell
Shoulda probably handed him a forty-ounce
I only said it once but who really counting
Just a little bitter man, who woulda knew
Teach us how to march when I wasn′t at school
Moms told me not to say a word
Cause they might charge daddy as a criminal (criminal)
Drunk outta his mind, whooping on my mom
Almost stabbed her to death caught her from behind
Going crazy watching Naz and his dad
I would daydream but the daydreams never last (no)
In my mind I'm killing everybody off (off)
The chorus want us school and that is daddy involved
I′m looking who to blame so I'm looking in the mirror
Everyday is a finale in the valley of the lost
I guess the world ain't everything I thought it was
You can talk about a bottle yeah that′s not enough (no)
14, 15 doing what i want when I wanna do it
Better moving if I′m moving up
Whole world I'm just proving myself
Won′t learn from anybody I can do it myself
Got a car, job, money, I don't need no help
I always seem to get a crowd as soon as I fell


Young man I know you gon′ reach every
Dream (Young man you gon' reach every
Dream)
You don′t gotta be your own worse enemy
(You don't gotta be your own worse enemy)
Gotta put your own words to the melody (put
Your own words to the melody)
And then sing it to yourself for nobody else
Nobody told me I would be
Forever king!
Forever king
Nobody told me I would be
Forever king!
Forever, forever
Forever king
Nobody told me I would be
Now tell 'em I′ma be, I′ma I'ma be, I′ma I'ma
Be
Forever king! I′ma I'ma be, I′ma I'ma be
Forever king
Forever, forever
Forever king!
Nobody told me I would be (forever king)

Uh, before I could say a word like a preface
Learned love wasn't better than respect
Now I′m pushing every button hope it
Detonates something
I could wake up one day and it resets (uh)
I got many memories I could never dream
I relive the moment every night and go to
Sleep
This is everything to me eyes closed
I was sitting on the edge with couple heads I
Don′t even know
I need God more than ever, my heart's too
Callused
Why they looking at my like a past due balance
I don′t owe em nuthin', living in a ghetto
Looking down a barrel playing par to the cello
When my whole heart says to be playing
Mozart
They don′t know barricaded behind a closed door
Up in the contact, I got that, lets blow
You're allowed to smoke from the mouth till explode
Got a hundred-thousand kids that′re feeling this
And we've been learning how to live with no inner sense
And now they call us criminals and put us on
These Medications just to put us in a better
Place we never been
Should've never put us there
Now I′m breaking up with every mirror
Now the shattered pieces of reflections that
I′m picking up
Is the only thing I really wanna share

Young man I know you gon' reach every
Dream (Young man you gon′ reach every
Dream)
You don't gotta be your own worse enemy
(You don′t gotta be your own worse enemy)
Gotta put your own words to the melody (put
Your own words to the melody)
And then sing it to yourself for nobody else
Nobody told me I would be
Forever king!
Forever king
Nobody told me I would be
Forever king!
Forever, forever
Forever king
Nobody told me I would be
Now tell 'em I′ma be, I'ma I'ma be, I′ma I′ma
Be
Forever king I'ma I′ma be, I'ma I′ma be
Forever king
Forever, forever
Forever king!
Nobody told me I would be (forever king)
