[Verse 1]
It's kinda funny, as the world is crumbling
I have managed to find my peace
And often I feel sorta 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
'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
