Little King No More

Letra

[Verse 1] You used to steal my phrases Wear my jacket like a crown I taught you every shortcut Showed you every side street out of town You copied how I walked How I laughed, how I stood You said you’d die to be me Guess you misunderstood [Pre-Chorus] Funny how the hallway Feels smaller when you pass You don’t even see me You just watch your own reflection in the glass [Chorus] Say my name now, say my name now (hey) Little king no more, I’m the throne you tore down Built you up, now I’ll break that frame You forgot who drew the outline round your name Talk down to me like I’m air in the room I lit your fuse, now I’m playing with the fumes You got high, but I wrote the score Little king, little king, little king no more [Verse 2] You talk in quotes and numbers Flex your pity like a chain Pat my shoulder, call me “buddy” Like you ever knew my strain You’re telling all your stories With my blood in every line So I’m cutting off the credits You won’t like the final sign [Pre-Chorus] Every backhand compliment Got logged, got saved You carved your tiny empire On a map that I already paved [Chorus] Say my name now, say my name now (oh) Little king no more, I’m the throne you tore down Built you up, now I’ll break that frame You forgot who drew the outline round your name Talk down to me like I’m air in the room I lit your fuse, now I’m playing with the fumes You got high, but I wrote the score Little king, little king, little king no more [Bridge] You bow to mirrors, not to men You’ll search for me when this all ends When the cheers thin out, when the texts go dead You’ll choke on all the words you never said (yeah) [Chorus] Say my name now, say my name now (hey) Little king no more, I’m the throne you tore down Built you up, now I’ll break that frame You forgot who drew the outline round your name Talk down to me like I’m air in the room I lit your fuse, now I’m playing with the fumes Kiss the ring that you begged me for Little king, little king, little king—no more
