Mama always said we were royaltyShe even said it staring in the face of povertyIs that insanity or vanity?I think it’s nothing but the power of the mindBelieve, she put it in meBecause I live in my dreamsI give my fantasies wingsOne day I’m gonna be kingI’m gonna make that woman so proud of her sonI know you heard about change, its gon’ comeOne question will you be there, will you be there?I’ll be there with my hands held high in the airLike a champion, cuz I demand to winChorus:Before you wear the crownThey’ll try to tear you downI’m ready for it nowCuz I don’t fear the fallI’m gonna stand tallNo breaking down the wallsPapa always said never fold my cardsFocus my mind and don’t take my eyes off the prizeCuz life is a blink of an eyeYou’re here then you’re gone off to the other sideMy time is a gift and I use itI spend every day making beautiful musicBut you don’t have to hold a tune, to serenade a roomJust stay high like noon, even in the gloomDarkest clouds never block the sunJust rise above and you’ve already wonNo obstacle can’t be overcomeIf you think that you can then it’s already doneDon’t let em put fear in yaOr try to make you feel inferiorFight through it like a warriorVictory feels so gloriousChorusIf you’re not ready to wear that crownYou’ll never face resistanceBut the moment you step on that throneYou’ll hear their cries in the distanceOf jealousy, they’re enviousDon’t care to see you rising upJust keep the faith, fill your heart with loveLet the truth be told and protect your soulCuz you know
