Lyrics

[Intro] I don't know what life will be in H-I-P H-O-PWithout the boy H-O-VNot only NYC, I'm hip-hop's saviorSo after this flow, you might owe me a favorWhen kingdom come, you ready?When kingdom come, I'm readyWhen kingdom come I'm ready [Verse 1] Now everywhere I go they like, "Hov, come back" Up out the corner office, out the cul-de-sac Where's Iceberg Slim? He was the coldest catGet your swag back, daddy, where your focus at? Got to admit a little bit, I was sick of rapBut despite that, the boy is back And I'm so evolved, I'm so involvedI'm showing growth, I'm so in chargeI'm CEO and, yeah, glory to God I'm so indebted, I should have been deaded selling blow in the park – This I know in my heartNow I'm so enlightened, I might glow in the dark I been up in the office, you might know him as ClarkBut, just when you thought the whole world fell apartI, take off the blazer, loosen up the tieStep inside the booth, Superman is alive [Chorus] The King of New York, New YorkNot only NYC, I'm hip-hop's saviorSo after this flow, you might owe me a favorWhen kingdom come, you ready?When kingdom come, uh huhNot only NYC, I'm hip-hop's saviorSo after this flow, you might owe me a favor [Verse 2] I hear "hurry up, Hov'" when I'm out in the public 'Cause niggas like, "But you love it – you be it, you're of it You breathe it, we need it; bring it back to the hustlas" Had to dust off the Hammer dance, can't touch this C'mon, playboys, bring the cars back out'Cause ya boy Hov is back, you know them broads coming out Got 'em dancing on the banquette, like they from Bankhead Fuck Cristal, so they ask me what we drinkin'I thought dude's remark was rude, okay?So I moved on to Dom, Krug Rosé And it's much bigger issues in the world, I knowBut I first had to take care of the world I know [Chorus] The King of New York, New YorkNot only NYC, I'm hip-hop's saviorSo after this flow, you might owe me a favorWhen kingdom come, you ready?When kingdom come, uh huhNot only NYC, I'm hip-hop's saviorSo after this flow, you might owe me a favor [Verse 3] Just when they thought it was all overI put the whole world on my back and broad shoulders The War-Hova, but who you know took over tracks like that?Guess what New York, New York – we back And I ain't never been afraid of a drought Since I was six, seventeen been getting money down South"'Bout It, 'Bout It," Master PAsk the nigga Pimp C, ask my homie Bun B I run the streets, the streets don't run we Y'all run, we chill, still waters run deep I repeat, sing along with meI run the streets, the streets don't run we Ladies saying, "Where you been, Superman?" When niggas spending ten million in media on my hands The Bruce Wayne of the game, have no fear When you need me just throw your Roc signs in the air, yeah! [Chorus] The King of New York, New YorkNot only N.Y.C., I'm hip-hop's saviorSo after this flow, you might owe me a favorWhen kingdom come, you ready?When kingdom come, uh huhNot only N.Y.C., I'm hip-hop's saviorSo after this flow, you might owe me a favor
