[Verse 1] Mama said stand tall When the room got cold Learned to bite my tongue Then I learned to hold my own Mud on my sneakers Blood in my eye I was built for the climb I was built to try They want a puppet I want a throne I walk in silent Like I own the stone Every scar on my skin Got a name, got a date I don't fold for the crowd I don't bow to fate [Pre-Chorus] Count it up I been through the fire Look at me now I came out higher Feel that shift Hear that roar I wasn't made to beg I was made for more [Chorus] Born to be a king Born to be a king Crown on my name I take what I bring Born to be a king Born to be a king I don't chase the light I make it sing (Born to be a king) (Born to be a king) [Verse 2] Cold hands, hard grind No luck, all work I kept my face up Even when it hurt Fools talk loud Till the truth walk in Then they get real small When the wolves all grin I seen fake love Fold like paper I seen loud mouths Turn to prayers later I don't need your nod I don't need your praise I built this hunger In the darkened days [Pre-Chorus] Count it up I been through the fire Look at me now I came out higher Feel that shift Hear that roar I wasn't made to beg I was made for more [Chorus] Born to be a king Born to be a king Crown on my name I take what I bring Born to be a king Born to be a king I don't chase the light I make it sing (Born to be a king) (Born to be a king) [Bridge] I don't kneel I don't break I don't need What they fake One life One shot I was built For the top [Chorus] Born to be a king Born to be a king Crown on my name I take what I bring Born to be a king Born to be a king I don't chase the light I make it sing (Born to be a king) (Born to be a king)
