McFearless Lyrics

Strain, living with a name
They get the best of me
But I'm no walker away
No complaint
I got much to gain
So they keep testing me
And I keep feeding their face

They could go off
And hit the road
And what would I care
Hell I ain’t goin nowhere
I got the reigns
And courage I was made of
And they've got fake love

So I know I must show
It’s my show
I must go
With my soul
Not my hand
Where I stand
It’s my role
It’s my soul

Pearls and necklaces and girls
And all the pretty things
I ain’t seekin to have
It’s safe to say
If I don’t get this out of me
I might quite easily
End up dead or just mad

Cross my “T’’s
Try to dot my “I”’s
But that’s just blinding me
I ain’t livin that way
I roll my sleeves
And make a better man of me or
I might easily just give up on this show

It’s my show
It’s my show
I must go
With my soul
Not my hand
Where I stand
It’s my role
It’s my show

I must show
It’s my show
I must go
With my soul
Not my hand
Where I stand
It’s my role
It’s my show

It’s my show
It’s my show

The correct lyrics are:

"Strain living with a name, They get the best of me, But I'm no walker away, No complaint, I got much to gain, So they keep testing me, And I keep feeding their face

They could go, Off and hit the road, And what would I care? Hell, I ain't going nowhere I got the reigns And courage I was made of And they've got fake love, So I must show

It's my show, I must go With my soul, Not my hand, Where I stand It's my role, It's my soul

Pearls and necklaces, And girls and all the pretty things, I ain't seeking to have, It's safe to say if I don't get this out of me, I might quite easily, End up dead or just mad, Cross my t's and try to dot my i's, But that's just blinding me, And I ain't living that way, I roll my sleeves to make a better man of me, Or i might easily, Just give up on this show

It's my show, I must go With my soul, Not my hand, Where I stand, It's my role, It's my show

I can't believe no one has picked up on this ideal yet. I think KOL is telling a tale of a man that is courageuous enough to live his life, against all odds, the way he sees fit. In this way it makes him "McFearless" enough to live. The chorus strongly supports this saying that he can't be judged by his "hand/where I stand" but instead where he goes with his "soul" and he must fill his "role" because its his "show". Show being a metaphor for life.

This song makes me think of living up to expectations. Everyone has this idea of what they want for the Kings. But they don't want to be anyones puppet. They want their own stuff. To be their own people.

Good try on the lyrics but there are a couple of them off. I would list them but as i listen to kings i grow less sober by the second...

i think this song is about needing to have the release of energy that you get from playing a live show. And how it is so personal but you have to show it to everyone there. Like the show must go on kind of thing. And how being a musician is not only his job or role but it is in his soul to do this.

Some of the lyrics make me think that everyone around him is putting a ton of pressure on him and watching his every move and trying to keep him down, but no matter how much they screw him over he's going to do what he's destined to do just so he can prove them wrong. Just by showing up and doing this deed, this show, he'll get his revenge.

The actual lyrics are:

Strain living with a name They get the best of me But I'mma walk away I don't complain I got much to gain so then you pester me And I keep feeding their face but they go walk and hit the road What would I care? hell i aint going nowhere I got the reigns and courage i was made of and they've got fake love

So I know I must show it's my show I must go With my soul not my hand Where I stand It's my role It's my soul

Pearls and necklaces on girls and all the pretty things i ain't seeking to have a safety say if i don't get this out of me i might quite easily end up dead or just mad cross my t's and try to dot my i's but now she's blinding me and i aint living that way i roll my sleeves to make a better man of me or i might easily

just give up on this show It's my show I must go With my soul not my hand Where I stand It's my role It's my show

It's my show [2x]
