Fulvio Gonella's Visual Art Project - A King Needs No Crown Lyrics

They waitin' on a king with a throne
Waitin' on gold waitin' on jewels
Like power's something you wear
Like respect is something they hand you

But me
I step up I swing I hit
No trophies no rings no spotlight glow
Just me and the game
And that's all I need to know

Came up swingin' no coach no rules
Just a bat in my hands just me in my shoes
Didn't need a crown just to feel great
Didn't need a title to know my fate

Grass under my feet sky wide and blue
No one watchin' but I still push through
No scoreboard no name in lights
But I still show up still stand and fight

I don't need no crown to know I'm a king
Don't need no gold to make this thing ring
Ain't no throne ain't no sound
But a king stays real don't need no crown

Hands get dirty but the work don't stop
Ain't no shortcuts when you earn your spot
Swing and miss I'll swing again
Fall down once I'll stand up ten

They watch for the shine they wait for the chain
But I ain't here to play that game
Ain't no throne but I stand tall
Real kings don't need gold at all

I don't need no crown to know I'm a king
Don't need no gold to make this thing ring
Ain't no throne ain't no sound
But a king stays real don't need no crown

Every swing every try
Every fall every high
Through the sweat through the grind
Ain't no gold but I still shine

No trophies no rings
But I'm still a king
No throne no crown
But they know me now
