Not Even The King Lyrics

by Alicia Keys

Some people so poor all they got is money
Oh, in darkness
Some peoṗle wait till they count all their assets
I don't care what they bring,
They can have everything

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e83160-alicia_keys~not_even_the_king_lyrics.html ]
They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king
They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king

Castles, it's as almost they're good in castles
Surrounded by people they ain't been afraid,
That's not what they take home

Oh,
I don't care what they bring,
They can have everything

They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king
They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Charge every ghetto we got
They oṗen the crown, and they open the throne
But I already got all that I want

All the king's horses and all the king's men
They came marching through
They offer the world just to get what we got
But I found the world in you
I found a world in you
Of innocence

Your arms around me worth more than a kingdom
Yeah, believe that
But trust's very real, the king's never felt that
Yeah this is the song we sing
We don't need anything

They can't afford this
This is priceless
They can't afford what we've got
Not even the king
They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king
