Built My Own Kingdom (versione 2)

Intro

(uh)

Yeah, yeah

Verse 1

You talk a lot for someone running out of time

Standing in my light like you own the whole skyline

I built this from nothing, brick by brick, alone

Don't need your applause, don't need your throne

You had your chance to ride, now you wanna hop back on

Sorry, that train already gone

I don't do reruns, I don't do replays

I'm done giving you my best days

Pre-Chorus

So save your speech, I've heard it all before

(heard before, heard before)

You're knocking on a closed and locked-up door

(heard before, heard before)

Chorus

I don't need your validation, never did, never will

I built my own kingdom while you stood still

Watch me walk right past you like you're invisible

This confidence ain't loud, baby, it's principle

(uh, oh-oh)

I don't need your validation, never did, never will

(uh, oh-oh)

I built my own kingdom while you stood still

Verse 2

Funny how you noticed once I stopped looking back

Funny how you wanted once I cut you slack

I'm not bitter, I'm just busy, got things to do

Building empires don't leave much room for you

You can talk your talk to someone who still cares

I already climbed past you up the stairs

This ain't revenge, this is just the truth

I outgrew the cage, I outgrew you too

Pre-Chorus

So save your speech, I've heard it all before

(heard before, heard before)

You're knocking on a closed and locked-up door

(heard before, heard before)

Chorus

I don't need your validation, never did, never will

I built my own kingdom while you stood still

Watch me walk right past you like you're invisible

This confidence ain't loud, baby, it's principle

(uh, oh-oh)

I don't need your validation, never did, never will

(uh, oh-oh)

I built my own kingdom while you stood still

Bridge

Watch me now

(watch me now)

Watch me win

(watch me win)

I don't owe you a single second

Of the woman I've become

Chorus

I don't need your validation, never did, never will

I built my own kingdom while you stood still

Watch me walk right past you like you're invisible

This confidence ain't loud, baby, it's principle

(uh, oh-oh)

I don't need your validation, never did, never will

(uh, oh-oh)

I built my own kingdom while you stood still

Outro

(uh)

Built my own kingdom

Yeah, yeah
