Lyrics
So you think you were a wild one
You go out in the high one
I saw you run many miles
when you heard the sound of the sirens
hey you were never met a bad one
i’m the king I’m the chief i’m the champion
I be that general
you better go work it out
I be that general
you better go work it out
i be that general
you better go work it out
I be that general
you better go work it out
So you think you want the one thats in control
but i run everything
so you know i got the fire tonight
and the gun and i run everything you do
general
yeha now you know i am the wild one
i’m the king I’m the chief i’m the champion
I be that general
you better go work it out
I be that general
you better go work it out
i be that general
you better go work it out
I be that general
you better go work it out
any man wants me up
many men turn me down
I be that general
they gonna want me now
I be that general
they gonna want me now
I be that general
you better go work it out
I be that general
you better go work it out
i be that general
you better go work it out
I be that general
you better go work it out
