[Verse 1: ​sirenxx]
I have never wished on hope
Didn’t need a telescope to see where I am going
I have never been the one trying hard to hold my tongue
It’s my stereo and

[Pre-Chorus: ​sirenxx]
One day I'll stand with a crown on my head
Like a God, yeah, like a God
With every step, no, I won't second guess what I want

[Chorus: ​sirenxx]
I wanna be like Kanye
I'll be the King of me always
Do what I want, I'll have it my way
All day, like Kanye-eah, yeah, yeah
Like Kanye, Kanye, yeah-ah, yeah-ah
Like Kanye, Kanye, yeah-ah, yeah-ah
I'll be the king of me

[Verse 2: ​sirenxx]
Born in a broken home, okay
Single momma let me chase what I was made for
We made out the paradise
Build on nickels, rubbing dimes
I'mma turn it to so much more

[Pre-Chorus: ​sirenxx]
One day I'll stand with a crown on my head
Like a God yeah, like a God
With every step, no, I won't second guess what I want

[Chorus: ​sirenxx]
I wanna be like Kanye
I'll be the King of me always
Do what I want, I'll have it my way
All day, like Kanye-eah, yeah, yeah

I'll be the king of me, me, me
Like Kanye, Kanye, yeah-ah, yeah-ah

[Bridge: ​sirenxx]
I have never wished on hope
Didn’t need a telescope to see where I am going
I have never been the one trying hard to hold my tongue
Is my stereo on
I wanna be like Kanye
Do what I want, I'll have it my way
I wanna be like Kanye

[Breakdown: Instrumental]
I'll be the king of me, me, me
I'll be the king of me, me, me
Like Kanye, Kanye, yeah-ah, yeah-ah

The Chainsmokers

The Chainsmokers are a New York City-based duo consisting of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall. They write and produce their songs, and often feature guest vocalists.

The duo rose to fame with their 2014 viral hit, “#Selfie” and then broke into the mainstream with their hit song “Roses” and their debut EP Bouquet.

In a March 2016 YouTube video, the duo talked about plans to release songs featuring their vocals. This was proven when “Closer” was released on July 2016 with Andrew Taggart as co-vocalist, alongside American singer-songwriter Halsey. “Closer” became both The Chainsmokers and Halsey’s most famous song.
