King of New York

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm the King of New York, I rule with an iron fist Gold around my neck and on my fingers and wrist A shift full of pitiful punks on my shit list Drop the "S," now "shit" means "hit list" Motherfuckers want to sit at my spot a lot 'Cause what I got, but my seat's hot It's not your turn, your black ass'll burn to the ground Pound for pound, twelve rounds—how that sound? A title bout, call timeout. Your rhymes are tired Without a doubt, no clout, smelling like sauer- -kraut. Mine stay hard like a dick on Stout Guinness, I'm in this to win this, you're pissed, so you Pout like a trout in a drought, can't get out You want to scream, but fish can't shout I'm five-foot-ten, so don't wonder how I'm the King of New York, just get down and bow [Hook: MF Grimm and Samples] [MF Grimm] Let the King do his thing, don't give me no hassle The streets is my throne, New York is my castle Some come close, but they can't get it right 'cause I'm [Samples] "I'm the King" - Sample from D.M.C. on Run-D.M.C. - "Hit It Run" "King of New York like Frank White" - Sample from C.L. Smooth on Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - "If It Ain't Rough, It Ain't Right" [MF Grimm] Let the King do his thing, don't give me no hassle The streets is my throne, New York is my castle Some come close, but they can't get it right [Samples] "I'm the King" - Sample from D.M.C. on Run-D.M.C. - "Hit It Run" "King of New York like Frank White" - Sample from C.L. Smooth on Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - "If It Ain't Rough, It Ain't Right" [Verse 2] I'll pull Triggers on hard-head niggas, I'm leaving dents Climb motherfuckers like a schoolyard fence A posse tried to jump me to get a good rep Fine, that's why the TEC-9 is always kept Sixteen shots, sixteen niggas hurt Sixteen stagger, sixteen hit the dirt No hospital beds, coffins all instead 'cause all Sixteen shots went dead to the head I can't think about anything else (Nah, kid) Just my family, and then I go for self (What would I do?) In the streets, it's hard, but, in jail, it's even Tougher—that's when shit get rougher So I stay far away, no horseplay I'll stray from negativity and I'll wait for my payday Play basketball to let time pass, but To let a nigga know, once in a while, I kick some ass If I go Sioux and have beef with a crew (Boh, boh!) He's dead, (Boh, boh!) the dog too Main maniac of all maniacs in Manhattan Step on the sidewalk, and suckers start scatting Respect with a TEC, I get my money with a MAC, a .380 infrared light is exactly what I pack 'cause I'm The King [Hook: MF Grimm and Samples] [MF Grimm] Let the King do his thing, don't give me no hassle The streets is my throne, New York is my castle Some come close, but they can't get it right [Samples] "I'm the King" - Sample from D.M.C. on Run-D.M.C. - "Hit It Run" "King of New York like Frank White" - Sample from C.L.

Smooth on Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - "If It Ain't Rough, It Ain't Right" [Verse 3] I had it hard, but I took it in stride I did a lot of bad shit, then I had to hide The messenger of death killing rappers and lovers All the brothers get smothered, also mothers under covers To get paid was the reason (Gotta make that dough) From murder the treason, it depended on the season 'Cause I did all types of shit. I murdered Niggas for free, and also contract hits I'll specialize in hand-to-hand combat More street fights than a motherfucking alley cat As I bash your head, I'll laugh at ya (Hahaha) The baddest little nigga since Shaft in Africa I'm not peaceful like Desmond Tutu, I'll drink Blood like it's Yoo-Hoo, I kill like Shaka Zulu There's three rules I live by, boy, and that's Crush, Kill, Destroy (Motherfucker) [Hook: MF Grimm and Samples] [MF Grimm] And let The King do his thing, don't give me no hassle The streets is my throne, New York is my castle Some come close, but they can't get it right [Samples] "I'm the King" - Sample from D.M.C. on Run-D.M.C. - "Hit It Run" "King of New York like Frank White" - Sample from C.L.
