The lyrics of "Already" by Major Lazer, Beyoncé, and Shatta Wale reflect themes of power, confidence, and self-empowerment. The song celebrates individuals who carry themselves like royalty, comparing them to kings with a mind, body, and soul that are aligned. The repetition of "king already" emphasizes this idea, as it implies that these individuals are predestined for greatness and already possess the qualities of a leader.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that resistance is inevitable when one is striving for success or greatness. Despite the pushback, the lyrics encourage individuals to stay true to themselves and not let anyone else rule their world. The lines "try to stop it, me say no, no, no" and "make nobody come rule your world" highlight this idea.
Overall, the lyrics of "Already" promote a message of self-love and self-empowerment, encouraging listeners to embrace their inner "king" or "queen" and take control of their lives.
