Lyrics
[verse 1]
Yo, once sat a king on a throne of greed,
Never cared for the poor, never sowed good seed.
With a crown on his head, but no sense in his dome,
Ignored all his people, too caught in his own.
Flashy jewels, lavish feasts, he’d bask in delight,
While his kingdom crumbled every single night.
No thought for tomorrow, just gold in his clutch,
Foolish king didn't realize he was out of touch.
[hook]
He took and he took, never giving back, (back)
Amassed all his wealth while his court lacked.
But every crown’s got a tale, every reign's got an end,
What you take from the many, they’ll reclaim again.(again)
[verse 2]
Fast forward the time, see the tides have turned,
His castle’s on fire, now it's his turn to learn.
Barricades broken, the revolts in the streets,
A throne overturned by the heartbeats it cheats.
“Where’s my guard?” he cried, in his final dismay,
But the guards stood aside, let the people have their say.
Took from him everything he snatched away,
Now he's just a memory of a faded, foolish sway.
[hook]
He took and he took, never giving back,
Amassed all his wealth while his court lacked.
But every crown’s got a tale, every reign's got an end,
What you take from the many, they’ll reclaim again.
[bridge]
From his robes to his rings, they stripped him bare,
Left him nothing but the cold, harsh air.
A lesson too late for the king to see,
What you reap is what you sow, no wealth sets you free.
[outro]
Now he wanders alone, the kingdom restored, (restored)
By the people, for the people, their spirit uncorded. (Uncorded)
A stupid king’s tale, from riches to rags, (rags)
Just a whisper in the wind, just a momentary lag.(lag )
[hook]
He took and he took, never giving back, (back)
Amassed all his wealth while his court lacked. (Lacked)
But every crown’s got a tale, every reign's got an end, (end)
What you take from the many, they’ll reclaim again.(again)
