[Intro]
King of the city—no debate. Fuck what they say, I run this shit, money, power, respect ya hear
[Verse 1]
I step in the spot, whole room get stiff
Chains on froze, got ‘em sick off drip
Came from the dirt, had to fight for this
Now every move got weight on it
They talkin’ shit but ain’t done what I did
I built this crown, I ain’t borrow shit
Back then broke, now I’m stackin’ it
Now they all watch how I handle shit
Pressure don’t break me, it sharpen me up
Turned me to a beast, now I don’t give a fuck
Hands in the game, I ain’t playin’ off luck
I made it happen, I ran it up
Name hold weight when it echo through
City on lock, I’m ahead of you
You follow waves, that I create
Now they all stuck tryna measure me
[Pre-Chorus]
They watch, they hate, I don’t give a fuck
If you ain’t solid, you don’t have my trust
Loyalty is law, don’t switch that shit
Cross that line, get cut off quick
[Chorus]
I’m the king of the city, I run this town
Built it from scratch, head made for the crown
Gold on my neck like a MVP trophy won
When I step outside, shit already done
I don’t ask for respect, I take that shit
Stand on my business, I don’t fake that shit
Came from the bottom, I earned my seat
King of the city, I can’t be beat
[Verse 2]
I seen the fake, I peep that quick
They smile in your face, then switch that script
I don’t trust none, I read that shit
Cut ‘em off clean, no second chance
I been through pain they can’t survive
That’s why I walk like I’m built to rise
Heart been cold, got steel inside
Now it’s all power when I arrive
Late nights grindin’, no sleep involved
Now I’m up top, got the view unlocked
Every move sharp, I don’t ever stall
When it’s time to step, I’m takin’ it all
They want the crown but ain’t built for weight
Fold under pressure, they seal they fate
I stood ten toes, I embraced that hate
Now I dominate every space I take
[Bridge]
They want the life but don’t know the cost
I took every L, turned boss to boss
Now I move like I already won
Energy heavy, I don’t gotta run
Even when solo, I’m still that one
City on lock, I ain’t done
Built from the ground, now I sit where kings
Every move loud, hear the echo ring
[Verse 3]
Crown on my head, I don’t owe ‘em shit
They talk that shit, but ain’t built like this
Fuck all that hype, I’m legit with it
Every move I make got weight on it
They throwin’ shots, but they missin’ quick
I send it back, now they quiet quick
Turn pain to profit, I flipped that shit
King of the city, I run this bitch
Crew right beside me, we locked in tight
Day ones only, we earned these stripes
Fuck all that fake, we don’t move like that
Loyalty worth more than gold—on gang, that’s facts
[Chorus]
I’m the king of the city, I run this town
Built it from scratch, head made for the crown
Gold on my neck like a MVP trophy won
When I step outside, shit already done
I don’t ask for respect, I take that shit
Stand on my business, I don’t fake that shit
Came from the bottom, I earned my seat
King of the city, I can’t be beat
