Overall Meaning

In this song, "Already," Beyoncé, Shatta Wale, and Major Lazer celebrate kingship, emphasizing on the confidence and self-belief that comes with being a king. The hook "Long live the king, you a king, you know it" declares that every person has the ability to stand tall as a ruler in their own right. "Top everything, everything, you know it," repeats the message of exaltation and how one's decisions dictate their progress to the top. The lyrics also emphasize that a king's essence resides in every aspect of their being: "Mind, body, soul, got a king body," suggesting that kingship is an attitude that flows from every part of a person.

The second half of the song suggests that everyone's world could be conquered successfully by taking life slow and on their own terms. The notion of slowing down means that individuals should take time to enjoy their successes while anticipating growth. The lines "Take it slow, oh, Take it slow, oh, Tryna take my baby home, oh, Take it slow, oh" refer to putting in the work to ensure a long-lasting relationship, career, or any other goal one might be pursuing. The closing lines, "Be your own king, Make nobody come rule your world," reinforce the idea of self-confidence and that everyone should rule over their world.

You can have admiration for someone but to put them on a pedalstal as if they are more than another human being in the world is crazy. While she is talented, she and gifted at what she does, Beyonce is not the “epitome” of human beings. Beyoncé is an entertainer, that is her occupation. God is everywhere and all around, in everyone whom believes in him; not one woman who will move on just like every one else. She can’t take none of her wealth, possessions or music with her. Stop thinking she closer to God than the other 8 billion people on the planet.
