I'll be king undisputed, respected, saluted, and seen for the wonder I am!
I'm pretty sure that line's verbatim the same in "Be Prepared" in The Lion King the animated film and The Lion King the Broadway show. A thing that makes the Broadway version better: it addresses the dissonance between Scar's self-image before murdering Mufasa and the pride et al's actual opinions of Scar well after.
I mean, it does so in a kinda ableist way, and the song that addresses that dissonance—"The Madness of King Scar"—is also the one that gets rapey (which more clearly explains why Nala skipped town), so you may want to stick with the film over the musical.
