King of New York

Kool Keith, Dan the Automator

[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)
