King of the Hill
The Cost of Crowning: A King's Dilemma in 'King of the Hill'
Lyrics
You say you ain't got time for games
You express a lack of time for games.
No more games
Reiteration of the aversion to games.
But the world got time for games with you
The world engages in games despite your stance.
Play your own
Encouragement to play your own games.
Playing with your money and your heart
Engaging in both financial and emotional risks.
Just admit you don't know what to do
An acknowledgment of not knowing what to do.
I've seen a lot of things come and go
Observation of various transient experiences.
Lots of pimps and dirty hoes
Reference to individuals with questionable morals.
How this ends, we'll never know
The uncertainty of the outcome of these experiences.
A king in his castle
Depiction of a person as a king in his domain.
A king of the hill
Emphasis on being a king specifically of the hill.
Wasting his time
Time wastage pursuing inexpensive excitement.
Chasing cheap thrills
Pursuing fleeting pleasures without substantial value.
He knows it's gonna cost him
Awareness of the impending high cost of these pursuits.
God knows how much
Acknowledgment of the uncertainty of the cost.
But you know you gotta pay or play (pay or play)
Highlighting the necessity to either pay or play.
At the end of the day (at the end of the day)
Reiteration of the choice between payment or engagement.
Playing with your money and your heart
Reiteration of playing with both money and emotions.
There's got to be another way
Expressing the need for an alternative approach.
A king in his castle
Restatement of the person as a king in his realm.
A king of the hill
Re-emphasis on being a king, specifically on the hill.
Wasting his time
Recurrence of wasting time on cheap thrills.
Chasing cheap thrills
Reiteration of pursuing momentary and low-value pleasures.
He knows it's gonna cost him
Reiteration of awareness of the impending high cost.
God knows how much
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding the cost.
