King of the Earth

[Verse 1] They threw me off the bus In my Sunday shoes I hit the curb laughing Like I had nothing to lose Blue lights in the rearview Then my car rolled gone You took my keys, officer Now I gotta sing along I read my fate in the rain On the pavement line Brehon law in my pocket And I’m feeling fine [Pre-Chorus] Hands up, heart up I’m not backing down Little old trouble Wears a golden crown [Chorus] I’m the king of the earth I’m the king of the earth Take my ride, take my name I still burn bright first I’m the king of the earth I’m the king of the earth Brehon law in my chest And I wear that hurt (king of the earth) [Verse 2] I found my laugh in the wreck Found my groove in the mess Everybody said, “Stay small” I said, “Watch me bless” At the stoplight, I swore I could hear my song Even with empty pockets I was never wrong You can chase me all day You can ring that bell I got a whole wide kingdom And I know it well [Pre-Chorus] Hands up, heart up I’m not backing down Little old trouble Wears a golden crown [Chorus] I’m the king of the earth I’m the king of the earth Take my ride, take my name I still burn bright first I’m the king of the earth I’m the king of the earth Brehon law in my chest And I wear that hurt (king of the earth) [Bridge] If the road gets mean I just grin and sway Every dent and detour Turns to gold someday Not a saint, not a fool Just a stubborn spark Made a throne out the fallout Made a crown out the dark [Final Chorus] I’m the king of the earth I’m the king of the earth Take my ride, take my name I still burn bright first I’m the king of the earth I’m the king of the earth Brehon law in my chest And I wear that hurt (king of the earth) (king of the earth)
