With vocal samples from Lorde’s Everybody Wants To Rule The World, this song is about the feeling of knowing you’re the only one still up in the middle of the night. No one can stop you, you can basically do everything you want.

[Verse 1]
Time is up, the light is dying
Darkness closes in, the world is quiet
Sitting in the spot, everyone desires
Everyone could get it, but everyone's too tired
I'm what people don't like seeing
A divine being
Look inside my head, give yo ass a tour, take you sight seeing
Ha, for the time being, I'll lock myself up with my feelings
Then put that on a beat and see if I made it through for the right reasons
Uh
[Hook]
In the darkest hours, I have got all the power
The light doesn't enter in my, ivory tower
Welcome to my kingdom
Welcome to my life
Adress me as your highness, I'm the, king of the night
No one here can touch me
No one here can near me
No one here to love me
Nobody can hear me
Unbeatable, untouchable, the dream of the Earth
Cause (everybody wants to rule the world)
[Verse 2]
This is how it's been from the start
No sound, no lights, nothing but the stars
Highway 'round the corner, but I don't hear any cars
Locked up tight, but I don't see any bars
The world is my kingdom, this is my palace
I have been searched by No Malice
Crown on my head, in my hand is a chalice
MOTHAFUCKA, YOU JEALOUS?!
I don't do no taxes... I DON'T PAY NO FEES
I'm not religiouuuuus, cause GOD PRAYS TO ME
AL PRAISE TO ME... ALL PRAISE TO ME
Cause I work all niiiight, NO OFF DAYS FOR ME
And no one can touch me, love me or stop me
This is my paradise, bitch, no Yahtzee
Only general with the age of draftee
This isn't how I want it, this is how it must be
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Larry, Rodney, Stephen, Martin
Quite some footsteps that I have to walk in
BB, BJ, Bern and Don(BJ = Billie Jean King, Bern = Bernard King)
Yeah, it's quite the legacy to carry on
Life's a bitch and I hit her, like Barry Bonds
Get that pussy mo' wet, Dom Perignon
Provide that bitch a new pair of Brian's
Then proceed the process with a pair of dimes
Plan my palace as the place to be
Party with a pretty princess with a face to see
Poppin' Perrier at the pace to beat
The peak's perfect, probably the place for me
There's no trace of me for you nationals
With your small brains, talking irrational
I'm a mogul, you a muggle, I'm magical
You're no Mads/match to me, cause I'm Hannibal
Crazy, I am crazy
Lord of the darkness, I'm Hades
Pull game's gotten lazy
Don't try and still end up with ladies
Heir, when you see the stars in the air
My sceptre's the mic and the throne's my chair
Yes, I'm fresh, so the people, they stare
But I'm a fuckin' king, so no Bel-Air
So impressive, even Arthur's scared
Round table paled to a bunch of squares
I decide who gets killed or spared
I told y'all, I receive God his prayers
King
[Hook]
