Song language: English
King of the New York Streets |
| People called me the scandalizer |
| The world was my appetizer |
| I turned gangs into fertilizer |
| King of the New York streets |
| I broke hearts like window panes |
| For breakfast I’d eat nails and chains |
| To my kingdom I’d proclaim |
| King of the New York streets |
| I floored my accelerator |
| All the way to the equator |
| Just a local gladiator |
| King of the New York streets |
| Well, I was only sixteen years old |
| So what could I have known? |
| In my mind these passing years |
| The legend sure has grown |
| People come from miles around |
| To see my royal tenement crown |
| Always up and never down |
| King of the New York streets |
| Schools gave me nothing needed |
| To my throne I proceeded |
| Every warning went unheeded |
| King of the New York streets |
| I stood tall from all this feeling |
| I bumped my head on heaven’s ceiling |
| Shooting dice and double-dealing |
| King of the New York streets |
| Each time I jumped behind the wheel |
| Of a pin-striped custom Oldsmobile |
| The guys would bow and the girls would squeal |
| King of the New Yrk streets |
| Local bullies I deflated |
| Back street jive that I translated |
| Top Ten girls were all that I dated |
| King of the New York streets |
| I didn’t need no bodyguard |
| I just ruled from my backyard |
| Living fast, living hard |
| King of the New York streets |
| Well, I was wise in my own eyes |
| I awoke one day and I realized |
| You know this attitude comes from cocaine lies |
