[E] [F#m] [E]
[F#]
[F#m] [F#]
People call me the scandalizer [F#m] [D] The world was my appetizer
[E] I turned [Em] gangs into fertilizer [F#m] King of the New York streets
I [F#] broke hearts like a window [F#m] [D] pane Breakfast like a Nelson chain
[E] To my kingdom I proclaim [F#m] King of the New York streets
You are [F#] flawless, Sam
[F#m]
[D] [G] [D]
[Em]
[F#m] You [F#] know I floored my accelerator All [D] the way to the equator
[E] Just a local gladiator [F#] Here comes King of the New York streets
[D] Well I was only sixteen [A] years So what could I [E] have known
[D] In my mind, these passing [A] years The legend sure [E] has [F#] grown
[F#m]
Now [F#] people come from miles around [D] To see my rocked enemy crown
[E] Always up, Jack, never down [F#m] King of the New York streets
Check it out
School's getting me nothing needed [D] To my throne I proceeded
[E] Every warning went unheeded [F#m] Here's King of the New York streets
You are flawless, Jack
Jack, [D] Jack, get out
[Em] [E] Rip
[F#m] me, quit me, [B] get out
[F#m]
Oh, snuds all from all the stealers [D] I'd block my head on heaven's ceiling
[E] Shooting dice and double dealing
[F#m] King of the New [B] York streets
[D] Well I was only sixteen
[A] years So what could I [E] have known
[D] In my mind these passing [A] years, the legend sure [E] has come.
[F#m]
You [F#] know, each time I jumped behind the wheel [D] of a pinstripe custom Oldsmobile,
[E] the guys would bow and the girls would squeal, [F#m] the king of the New York streets.
One local police I deflated,
[D] street jive I [E] translated,
top ten girls were all I dated, [F#m] king of the New York streets.
We walked the sacks.
[D] I
[E] didn't [A]
[E] [F#m]
[F#] need nobody,
[D] I just ruled from my backyard.
[E] Living fast, living hard, [F#m] king of the New York streets.
Check it out, we walked the
[D] [A]
sacks.
[E] [A] [E]
Well, [F#m]
I was wild in my own eyes.
[D] I woke one day and I realized, [E] you know this [A] attitude [Em] come from cocaine [F#m] lies.
