Eric McNeely - KING lyrics

“KING” Written by Doug Locke and Eric McNeely VERSE 1: When I was younger I walked with my head down Taught to hide what I believe Everyday was a struggle on the battleground (the battleground, the battleground) Words like daggers used to cut me down Now I wear my scars proudly As my blue heart beats in this red town, strongly… PRE-CHORUS: I don't wanna pretend No longer wanna fit in I won't hide behind a lie Made up my mind That I'm a King (King, King) Decorated in my own skin (Yeah) I finally believe in A light I was forced to hide But I survived Cause I'm a King (King, King) CHORUS: I… I'm not giving up, giving up And I… won't stop giving love, giving love I won't bow down for a mindless crowd I shine as I wear this crown, Yeah I… I'm a King, (King, King) VERSE 2: You attack my pride Light the fire inside My heart will keep on burning away Locked me in your tomb It became my cocoon And now, I'm gonna fly (I'm gonna fly) PRE-CHORUS: I don't wanna pretend No longer wanna fit in I won't hide behind a lie Made up my mind That I'm a King (King, King) Decorated in my own skin (Yeah) I finally believe in A light I was forced to hide But I survived Cause I'm a King (King, King) CHORUS: I… I'm not giving up, giving up (I'm not giving up) And I… won't stop giving love, giving love (I won't stop, won't stop) I won't bow down for a mindless crowd I shine as I wear this crown, Yeah I… I'm a King, (King, King) BRIDGE: Never let them break you down Never let them take your crown Your love Is love… Never let them break you down Never let them take your crown Your love Is love… CHORUS: I… I'm not giving up, giving up (I'm not giving up) And I… won't stop giving love, giving love (I won't stop, won't stop) I won't bow down for a mindless crowd I shine as I wear this crown, Yeah I… I'm a King, (King, King) BRIDGE & CHORUS: I… I'm not giving up, giving up (I'm not giving up) And I… won't stop giving love, giving love (I won't stop, won't stop) I won't bow down for a mindless crowd I shine as I wear this crown, Yeah I… I'm a King, (King, King)
