Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jon Bellion] Heard he was born as a beast and a ghost On the East of a coast where they eat you for jokes, uh I know a guy who said his mom knew a man Whose mother's sister saw him in the mall one time Heard he was high and he rode to the sky And it opened and God played a song he recorded He wrote it down But he only play the record for his wife sometimes Heard he survived, on an island with Vikes That provided the Valkyries, sirens, and pirates Don't know the guy, yeah, uh But they talk about his verses in the night sometimes [Chorus: Jon Bellion] Big bang, the six, the seven Hey hey, the king, the legend Big bang, the truth, the weapon Hey hey, the king, the legend Big bang, the six, the seven Hey hey, the king, the legend Big bang, the truth, the weapon Hey hey, the king, the legend [Verse 2: Jon Bellion] Heard he was formed from the lights that are Northern The Rock of Gibraltar, he once got an offer From Lucifer's daughter to bow to the gods So he'd keep his verses sharper than a knife sometimes Heard he was warned that a hero gets torn Between fame and adornment and loses his sword So he shot the fame down, uh But he keep a mask on him if the sign's in the sky Heard he was happy so no one could gas him Or force him to dance like a monkey for assets He loves his life, uh, uh But he keep a pen sharp enough to write one time (Woo) [Chorus: Jon Bellion] Big bang, the six, the seven Hey hey, the king, the legend Big bang, the truth, the weapon Hey hey, the king, the legend Big bang, the six, the seven Hey hey, the king, the legend Big bang, the truth, the weapon Hey hey, the king, the legend [Bridge: Jon Bellion] (Ooh) (Ooh) He struck down gods and he killed an army Stood up on top of a hill of bodies It was never enough He just needed saving from himself Put up both hands, made the lightning come down Rep got so big that it blocked the sun out It was never enough He just needed saving from himself [Outro: Jon Bellion & JD McCrary] (Woah) It was never enough He just needed saving from himself It was never enough He just needed saving from himself He just needed saving from himself (Ooh, woah) It was never enough He just needed saving from himself (The king, the legend) He just needed (The king, the legend) It was never enough He just needed saving from himself The king, the legend Himself The king, the legend (Woah) The king, the legend
