Alicia Keys was invited on the stage of MTV Up Front, a show in which MTV flaunts its summer lineup.
The songstress was accompanied solely by a piano and as a treat for the fans, she premiered a new song titled "Not Even The King", which is a heart warming piano ballad about love.
Not Even The King Lyrics
by Alicia Keys
Some people so poor all they got is money
Oh, in darkness
Some people wait till they count all their assets
I don’t care what they bring,
They can have everything
They can’t afford what we got,
Not even the king
They can’t afford what we got,
Not even the king
Castles, it’s as almost they’re good in castles
Šurrounded by people they ain’t been afraid,
That’s not what they take home
Oh,
I don’t care what they bring,
They can have everything
They can’t afford what we got,
Not even the king
They can’t afford what we got,
Not even the king
All the king’s horseš and all the king’s men
Charge every ghetto we got
They open the crown, and they open the throne
But I already got all that I want
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
They came marching through
They offer the world just to get what we got
But I found the world in you
I found a world in you
Of innocence
Your arms around me worth more than a kingdom
Yeah, believe that
But trust’s very real, the king’s never felt that
Yeah this is the song we sing
We don’t need anything
They can’t afford this
This is priceless
They can’t afford what we’ve got
Not even the king
They can’t afford what we got,
Not even the king
