Tragic Hero - Forever King lyrics

[Intro] Me, I just, I just wanted to be wanted Just wanted to be wanted [Verse 1] 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 d**h 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 k**ing 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 I [Chorus] 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) [Verse 2] Uh, before I could say a word like a preface Learned love wasn't better than respect Now I'm pushing every bu*ton 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 [Chorus] 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)
