Artist: Dion
Intro: [F#] 0:11
[VERSE 1]
People call me the scandalizer,
[D]The world was my appetizer,
[E]I turned gangs into fertilizer,
[F#]King of the New York streets. 0:25
[VERSE 2]
I broke hearts like window panes,
[D]For breakfast I'd eat nails and chains,
[E]To my kingdom I'd proclaim,
[F#]King of the New York streets.
We walked all the same..[F#] . [D] [E] [F#] 0:54
[VERSE 3]
You know, I floored my accelerator,
[D]All the way to the equator,
[E]Just a local gladiator,
[F#]I'm king of the New York streets. 1:10
[BRIDGE]
Well, [D]I was only sixteen years,
So [A]what could I have [E]known?
[D]In my mind these passing years,
[A]The legend sure has [E]grown. [F#] 1:27
[VERSE 4]
Now, people come from miles around,
[D]To see my royal tenement crown,
[E]Always up Jack, never down,
[F#]King of the New York streets, check it out... 1:44
[VERSE 5]
Schools gave me nothing needed,
[D]To my throne I proceeded,
[E]Every warning went unheeded,
[F#]King of the New York streets.
We walked always...[F#] [D] [E] [F#] 2:13
[VERSE 6]
I stood tall from all this feelin'
[D]I bumped my head on heaven's ceilin'
[E]Shooting dice and double-dealin'
[F#]King of the New York streets 2:27
[BRIDGE]
Well, [D]I was only sixteen years,
So [A]what could I have [E]known?
[D]In my mind these passing years,
[A]The legend sure has [E]grown. [F#] 2:45
[VERSE 7]
You know, each time I jumped behind the wheel,
Of a [D]pin-striped custom Oldsmobile,
[E]The guys would bow and the girls would squeal,
[F#]King of the New York streets. 3:00
[VERSE 8]
Local bullies I deflated,
[D]Back street jive that I translated,
[E]Top Ten girls were all I dated,
[F#]King of the New York streets.
We walked the same..[F#] . [D] [E] [F#] 3:30
[VERSE 9]
I didn't need no bodyguard,
[D]Huh, I just ruled from my backyard,
[E]Living fast, living hard,
[F#]King of the New York streets.
Check it out, we walked... [F#] [D] [E] [F#] 4:00
[VERSE 10]
Well, I was wise in my own eyes,
[D]I woke one day and I realized,
You know [E]this attitude come from cocaine lies...
[F#] 4:15
Coda < repeat twice, fadeout on 2nd > [F#] [D] [E] [F#] 4:51
