King of New York

Lyrics

[Talking voice] Look, how am I gonna justify corruption to you? Its always been here and it always will be What I'm rappin' to you about is power baby.. [Kool Keith] Cruisin' big time Livin' the life like Big Joe Willie Smith the player, with my hype porno show Like Goldie, the mack, laying honey's on their back Clockin' gees a week, your fake pimps hear me speak Ridin' low down, checkin' my watch like Frank Nitti Police pressin' up, let me pay off the city Controllin' your town like Sega do with the Genesis Who is the fan? Scopin' panties on the premises Backstab, nevermind takin' slap Countin' my green, now tell me, where's the other half? Don't try to comment, don't tell me how to run my stable Plug your card, leave your fingers bleedin' on the table No time for games, baby talkin' "help a brother" Your style is plastic, your girl talkin' rubber [Chorus] 4x I'm the king of New York! Runnin' alphabet city (Bronx man, I'm respected) I'm the king of New York Runnin' alphabet city ( ?? in the air like my name is Frank Nitti) [Kool Keith] You ran away from home, you ran away into my arms Speak to Willie, my lollipop here's a charm You need a place to stay, what step up my way I got your fur coat, and everything on layaway You're my daughter now, the women have to call me daddy The smith with big green, with clients on the white caddy Like General Mills, Total with the whole grain I'm in control, patchin' up your sad little brain He made you cry before, he made you cry now I'm eatin' steak, your ho eatin' chocolate cow What's the matter? He made your heart splatter He kept you on the down low, climbin' up the ladder Pretty as you are, lookin' like a movie star Delicious, nutritious, don't wanna get vicious I ain't no bloodhound, sniffin' on your heels Some strung out junkie over you takin' pills We can do this lady! Lucy give me a kiss *kissing* I'm your man now [Chorus] [Kool Keith] It took a mastermind to put together the operation I started out recruiting at the Grey Hound bus station Pushin' jewels, I'm still the man on forty deuce Providin' support, champ like a big sport Hangin' high, with no ID you can't verify The biggest mack on the hill from the illest city No shorts taken, tell Jim yo it's tuff titty Call power rills to meet the only president FBI watchers are tryin' scope for embezzlement I'm in my train of thought, I own supreme court Standin' on the block, lickin' ????? for days You work for me, competition for supremacy I'm in the rhyme, smoothin' groovin' down I'm in the rhyme, smoothin' movin' down Checkin' out my game, the feds know it's the same I'm in court for only child support [Chorus] (spoken passage by Iceberg Slim)
