Lyrics

Some people need a crown
Just to feel like a king…
Me?
I just need the truth.
I came from the bottom with a dream in my hand
No throne, no gold, had to build my own land
Every loss taught me how to stand
Now I move with a purpose they don’t understand
Paris in my blood, Dubai in my view
They see the lights, but they don’t know what I knew
Long nights, closed doors, promises gone
Still I kept that fire when the hope felt done
I don’t need applause to remember my name
I don’t need the crowd just to validate pain
When the room goes dark and the music gets loud
That’s when I find myself…
No crown.
When the lights go down
All the truth comes out
You can fool the whole world
But you can’t fool your soul
No crown on my head
Still I walk like a king
No gold around my neck
Feel the truth when I speak
Dance with your soul
Don’t perform for the crowd
The real kings rise
When the lights go down
No crown…
No crown…
I know who I am
I don’t need no crown
No throne…
No chains…
Still standing…
Let it ride.
They love you when you’re shining
Disappear when you fall
Everybody wants the picture
Nobody answers the call
I learned loyalty is silent
Real love never performs
Some people bring you shelter
Some only wait for the storm
So I cut through the noise
Put the truth in the bass
Every scar on my body
Put the strength in my face
I’m not chasing their throne
I’m not begging for praise
I’ve been walking through fire
Now I’m lighting the way
No chains, no throne
Still standing proud
My soul got a voice
And the bass plays it loud
When the lights go down
All the truth comes out
You can fool the whole world
But you can’t fool your soul
No crown on my head
Still I walk like a king
No gold around my neck
Feel the truth when I speak
Dance with your soul
Don’t perform for the crowd
The real kings rise
When the lights go down
No crown…
No crown…
I know who I am
I don’t need no crown
No crown, no throne
Still I stand on my own
No praise, no fear
When the bass hits, truth gets clear
No ego…
No lies…
Only fire burning deep inside
Dance with your soul…
Not for the crowd.
I lost people I believed in
Lost places I called home
But every time they left me
I learned to stand alone
Now I measure my success
By the peace inside my chest
Not the numbers, not the fame
Not the diamonds on my neck
If they never say my name
I’ll still know what I became
I survived every storm
I walked straight through the flame
You can keep your golden throne
You can keep your empty praise
I would rather live the truth
Than die inside their game
No crown on my head
Still I walk like a king
No gold around my neck
Feel the truth when I speak
Dance with your soul
Don’t perform for the crowd
The real kings rise
When the lights go down
No crown…
No crown…
I know who I am
I don’t need no crown
Take away the lights…
Take away the crowd…
Take away the gold…
Take away the crown…
If your soul still speaks
When nobody is around…
You were always a king.

No crown.
