From Akron to the world...
The saga of a King.
Cleveland, Ohio, where the story first was told
A kid from Akron, with a heart of gold
They called me "The Chosen One," the weight upon my back
I carried a whole city, through every attack
The Q was shaking, with every dunk and block
But that championship mountain, was too heavy to rock
I had to write my legacy, in a different pen
So I took my talents, down to South Beach then
Cleveland, Miami, L.A., they're all my home
Wherever I lay my crown, I'm never alone
I built my kingdoms, on the hardwood floor
Chasing that greatness, always wanting more
Cleveland, Miami, L.A., they're all my home
Through every battle, how I've grown
A promise to a city, a legacy to own
This is the kingdom, I have built and known!
Miami Vice, the heat was on, we formed a dynasty
With D-Wade and Bosh, for all the world to see
Back-to-back championships, under the Florida sun
Proving that my journey, had only just begun
But the call from home was strong, a promise in my ear
To bring that title back, and conquer every fear
"I'm coming home," I said, with one goal in my sight
To end that long, long Cleveland sports night!
Cleveland, Miami, L.A., they're all my home
Wherever I lay my crown, I'm never alone
I built my kingdoms, on the hardwood floor
Chasing that greatness, always wanting more
Cleveland, Miami, L.A., they're all my home
Through every battle, how I've grown
A promise to a city, a legacy to own
This is the kingdom, I have built and known!
2016, down 3-1, the world had counted us out
But I felt a force within, silencing the doubt
"The Block" on Iguodala, the shot by Kyrie
We made history, for all of Ohio to see!
That trophy for you, Cleveland, I finally got it done
Then my journey led me west, for my final run...
"James... to the rim... OOH! BLOCKED BY JAMES!"
"LEBRON JAMES! HE DOES IT! CLEVELAND IS A CITY OF CHAMPIONS!"
Cleveland, Miami, L.A., they're all my home
Wherever I lay my crown, I'm never alone
I built my kingdoms, on the hardwood floor
Chasing that greatness, always wanting more
Cleveland, Miami, L.A., they're all my home
Through every battle, how I've grown
A promise to a city, a legacy to own! (To own!)
This is the kingdom, I have built and known!
The King
From Akron,
Cleveland... this is for you.
Miami... thank you.
L.A.... the journey continues.
More than a king...
A legend.
