[Intro]

(Look at me, I'm the king of New York!

Suddenly, I'm the king of New York!)

Shoutout to Statik Selektah though

Remove the fake king of New York

N.Y. City, grab a hold and ride with me

Bring it back up top

Remove the fake king of New York

You show off, I count dough off

Man, this for N.Y

That's if y'all want it

'Cause we know how y'all do these days

Come on New York, step up

Look

[Verse 1]

This goes out to the so-called king of New York

This the home of legends, Lamar, so watch what you talk

You coming up short thinking you the boss, you must be off it

You don't want the war to send you running like a faucet

Be cautious, this history is worth more than a hit, boy

No matter how much good music you drop

You can't knock the legacy of B.I.G.'s, J-A-Y's

And leaving out the new gods, that ain't wise

You ain't king, at best you a duke

Young and poppin'

But Jay old enough to be your pop and moving more units than you

Talking about how you the king of this state, that's time wasted

You kicked harder lines on the Miguel collaborations

You was doing good up until now, Kenny

Started false claiming, I feel the wrath of my city

You pompous, trying to take two sides of the compass

Astro king to put an end to all this nonsense

[Bridge]

Bring it back up top

Remove the fake king of New York

New York

You show off, I count dough off

Bring it back up top

Remove the fake king of New York

Yo

(I'm the king of New York)

[Verse 2]

This ain't France, and I see you trying to run the kid home

Better chill with that Napoleon syndrome

Let's battle, it's nothing, you weak, I feel like you're bluffing

You the king? Oh my bad, boy, I feel like you puffin'

You ain't balling hard enough to mention Phil Jackson name

I play like D'Antoni and get Lamar up out the game

You owe them legends you dissing, but let's speak some real talk

I can see why you was reaching for the throne in New York

Ain't nobody repping right, they scared, all talk

So I don't curse much, but fuck all you fake New Yorkers

Y'all suckers like newborns kissing Kendrick's ass

''Nobody better than him, you hashtag trash''

Remember, it's good kid mad city, not my city

Enter my city it's animosity, possibly

The end of your wind so give me your ends

Where the game started, remember what state you in

New York

[Outro]

Guaranteed raw

Bring it back up top

Remove the fake king of New York

You show off, I count dough off

Suckers

Bring it back up top

Remove the fake king of New York

(I'm the king of New York)
