Maybe I messed up school and
Maybe I wasn't good at a job, but
I don't care what you think, who I am because for me
For me, I am King

I don't have any lands, I don't rule a kingdom
Grew up to be a rapper, my scepter is now a tube mic
Tell the same story again, but it doesn't sound old
Was just a shadow of myself and became a figure of light
Except for my master, no one saw the "S" on my chest
The last one they trusted, the best comes last
Long way to triumph, strengthened by defeats
I'm not called Tawil, but I carry the nobility before my name
Looking for order in the cosmos in which I move
It could be that a wrong decision led to the right path
How often have they said I would regret it
I never followed their advice
Only when they said "keep dreaming", I kept dreaming

Maybe I messed up school and
Maybe I wasn't good at a job, but
I don't care what you think, who I am because for me
For me, I am King

Maybe I messed up school and
Maybe I wasn't good at a job, but
I don't care what you think, who I am because for me
For me, I am King

They tried to treat me like a subject
Now they pat me on the shoulder, "This is our man"
How quickly the tables turn, I don't need your respect
Thousands out there, toast to us with a Jäger in the backstage
I messed up the apprenticeship, but didn't ruin my future (oh-oh-oh)
R-A-P-K-I-N-G only sounded like a dream
Didn't let myself be deterred (oho, oho)
Spoke to myself, I know it will come true
And every six on the report card is a one in the charts today
Not a carpenter, but I deliver boards
Simply incomprehensible to them
Never again invisible like the emperor's new clothes
If possible, pursue your happiness from the start
Life is not an hourglass
And no one gives you back your time in a jiffy

Maybe I messed up school and
Maybe I wasn't good at a job, but
I don't care what you think, who I am because for me
For me, I am King

Maybe I messed up school and
Maybe I wasn't good at a job, but
I don't care what you think, who I am because for me
For me, I am King

Maybe you feel like you can't succeed (can't succeed)
As if doubting yourself was like your seventh sense (seventh sense)
Swinging between giving up or making it work (ah-ah-ah)
No matter how you decide, for me you are King
Because a crown doesn't make a king a king
And a cape doesn't make a hero a hero in this world
You alone turn "impossible" into "possible"
Don't listen, it doesn't matter what other people think of you

Maybe I messed up school and
Maybe I wasn't good at a job, but
I don't care what you think, who I am because for me
For me, I am King

Maybe I messed up school and
Maybe I wasn't good at a job, but
I don't care what you think, who I am because for me
For me, I am King
