Loyalty Not Royalty
Internal Affairs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You have it all and your attitude sucks
Everything in this world has been given to you
I bust my ass and shit falls through
Walk around like your the fucking king
You didn't earn a fucking thing
I don't need
We don't need
The lyrics of Internal Affairs's song Loyalty Not Royalty discuss the theme of injustice and entitlement. The song is directed towards an individual who is spoiled and ungrateful, and has been given everything in life without putting in any effort. The lyrics express the frustration and disappointment felt towards this person who walks around with an arrogant attitude, as if they are superior to everyone else despite not earning anything themselves. The singer of the song, in contrast, works hard but still faces setbacks and obstacles, leading to a sense of injustice.
The phrase "loyalty, not royalty" in the title reinforces the message of the song - that it is important to remain true to oneself and be loyal to those who have supported and helped, rather than just seeking material success and power. The underlying message is that true success comes from earning it, and that a sense of entitlement will ultimately lead to disappointment and isolation.
The lyrics of the song are impactful and relatable to those who have struggled to achieve their goals despite putting in immense effort. The song speaks to the importance of hard work, integrity, and loyalty in ensuring true success and happiness.
