[Verse 1]
You can feel the fear when I walk by
Tail between your legs make 'em run and hide
And I can see the pain pouring out your eyes
I think I am finally, starting to feel like the king I am
[Verse 2]
Same place but the faces change
It's contradicting got me feeling something kinda strange
Done feeling like I'm fucking up
Done feeling like I'm not enough
Time to call your bluff
Bring 'em in, hit 'em with an uppercut
Walk tall just because I can
Bring 'em in, hit 'em with another one
Finally starting to feel like the king I am
Like the king I am
Walk tall like the king...
[Chorus]
(We used to)
We used to envy the stars
(We used to envy the stars)
But now I’m one of ‘em
Yeah, now I’m one of ‘em
We used to envy the stars
(We used to envy the stars)
But now I’m one of ‘em
And I’m your favorite one
[Bridge]
I am animal
I am sacred beast
I am terminal [?]
I am bringing out release
I am everywhere
I am what you see
I am the chemical
Swallow me down
Swallow me down
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
I am animal
I am sacred beast
I am criminal [?]
I am setting you free
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
Whoo!
Like the king I am
Like the king I-king I am
Like the king I am
(Sorry)
[Chorus]
(We used to)
We used to envy the stars
(We used to envy the stars)
But now I’m one of ‘em
Yeah, now I’m one of ‘em
We used to envy the stars
(We used to envy the stars)
But now I’m one of ‘em
And I’m your favorite one
[Outro]
Yeah!

D.R.U.G.S. frontman Craig Owens shared in an interview with Forbes:
This song wasn’t meant to be cocky or aggressive. What it was meant to be was motivational. It was meant to be a message that, “You’re good enough. You need to press on, and you need to feel good about yourself in order to do that....
