Say I’m cold-hearted
– Ka mea ahau he ngakau makariri ahau
But I’m just getting started
– Engari kei te tīmata noa ahau
Got my eyes on the target
– I kite ahau i te ūnga
Now, now
– Na, inaianei
‘Til the battles are won
– ‘Kia wikitoria ra ano nga pakanga
‘Til kingdom come
– ‘Kia tae mai te rangatiratanga
I’ll never run
– Kāore au e rere
Best to give me your loyalty
– Pai ki te hoatu ki ahau tou pono
‘Cause I’m taking the world, you’ll see
– ‘No te mea kei te tango ahau i te ao, ka kite koe
They’ll be calling me, calling me
– Ka karanga ratou ki ahau, ka karanga ki ahau
They’ll be calling me royalty
– Ka karanga ratou ki ahau royalty
Best to give me your loyalty
– Pai ki te hoatu ki ahau tou pono
‘Cause I’m taking the world, you’ll see
– ‘No te mea kei te tango ahau i te ao, ka kite koe
They’ll be calling me, calling me
– Ka karanga ratou ki ahau, ka karanga ki ahau
They’ll be calling me royalty
– Ka karanga ratou ki ahau royalty
They’ll be calling me royalty
– Ka karanga ratou ki ahau royalty
They say I’m dangerous, ’cause I
– Ka mea rātau he mōrearea ahau, nā te mea
Broke all their cages
– I whati i a rātau kōpaki katoa
No, I won’t sit and take it
– No, e kore ahau e noho, ka tango i te reira
Now, now
– Na, inaianei
They left me for dead, I guess they’ll never learn
– I waiho ahau e rātau kia mate, ki taku whakaaro kāore rātau e ako
Every time I break, there’s just more pain to burn
– I nga wa katoa ka pakaru ahau, he nui noa atu te mamae ki te tahu
They’ll never, never, never learn
– E kore ratou e, e kore, e kore e ako
‘Til the battles are won
– ‘Kia wikitoria ra ano nga pakanga
‘Til kingdom come
– ‘Kia tae mai te rangatiratanga
I’ll never run
– Kāore au e rere
Best to give me your loyalty
– Pai ki te hoatu ki ahau tou pono
‘Cause I’m taking the world, you’ll see
– ‘No te mea kei te tango ahau i te ao, ka kite koe
They’ll be calling me, calling me
– Ka karanga ratou ki ahau, ka karanga ki ahau
They’ll be calling me royalty
– Ka karanga ratou ki ahau royalty
Best to give me your loyalty
– Pai ki te hoatu ki ahau tou pono
‘Cause I’m taking the world, you’ll see
– ‘No te mea kei te tango ahau i te ao, ka kite koe
They’ll be calling me, calling me
– Ka karanga ratou ki ahau, ka karanga ki ahau
They’ll be calling me royalty
– Ka karanga ratou ki ahau royalty
They’ll be calling me royalty
– Ka karanga ratou ki ahau royalty
They’ll be calling me royalty
– Ka karanga ratou ki ahau royalty
(Royalty, royalty, royalty)
– (Te rangatiratanga, te rangatiratanga, te rangatiratanga)
They’ll be calling me royalty
– Ka karanga ratou ki ahau royalty
(Royalty, royalty, royalty)
– (Te rangatiratanga, te rangatiratanga, te rangatiratanga)
