"King For A Day" lyrics

It's kinda funny, as the world is crumbling
I have managed to find my peace
And often I feel sort of guilty, privileged and filthy
Getting seconds while the rest never eat
Mom, I made it, your son has got a name
And you can brag to your Facebook friends, but we shouldn't forget
While we're thriving, most are just surviving
Missing meals just to pay for the rent

But if I was king for a day
I would sell my throne
Buy a castle for my friends to go
Give me a crown for a week
I would make it cheap
Free liquor and a place to eat
'Cause we're dying for a living
Tryna make a killing
Off of pennies don't make no sense
But if I was king for a day
We would all be rich
Anything's better than this

It's getting lonely, I haven't seen my homies
Tommy's working twelve-hour shifts, it's like he doesn't exist
From cutting lines to working overtime
'Cause he's married with a couple of kids
I could flip the script, I could fix the system
Put the ladies in the yard and the boys in the kitchen
Would it work? I don't know, but it'd sure be great
Give me a month, I'll be burned at the stake

But if I was king for a day
I would sell my throne
Buy a castle for my friends to go
Give me a crown for a week
I would make it cheap
Free liquor and a place to eat
'Cause we're dying for a living
Tryna make a killing
Off of pennies don't make no sense
But if I was king for a day
We would all be rich
Anything's better than this

Citizens of the world, hear me now
I'm gonna bring peace to the streets
If your wife needs new tits
If you need a bigger dick, I'm gonna make that happen for you
Government funded G-Wagons, cocaine, and milkshakes
Vote for me now

'Cause if I was king for a day
I would sell my throne
Buy a castle for my friends to go
Give me a crown for a week
I would make it cheap
Free liquor and a place to eat
'Cause we're dying for a living
Tryna make a killing
Off of pennies don't make no sense
But if I was king for a day
We would all be rich
And maybe it would all go to shit
