[Verse 1]
I move smart, eyes open wide
Read the block like signs outside
Every step got a reason, yeah
Every loss got a season, yeah
They try push, I don’t fold
Cold hands, but my mind stay gold
I learn fast from the hits I take
Turn the pain to the next big break
[Pre-Chorus]
I been low, I been tested
Still I came up, still I stayed vested
Hit the floor, then I shift my weight
Tell that doubt it can wait, can wait
[Chorus]
I move smart cause I’m the king of the streets
When I get knocked down, I get back on my feet
I won’t accept defeat
I won’t accept defeat (no way)
King of the streets
King of the streets (say it)
I get back on my feet
I won’t accept defeat
[Verse 2]
I seen friends turn fake on a dime
Seen love get lost in the grind
Still I walk with a steady chest
Keep my word, that’s how I’m blessed
Got bruised pride and a stubborn heart
But that hunger don’t leave its mark
If I fall, I fall for a minute
Then I rise with the fire still in it
[Pre-Chorus]
I been low, I been tested
Still I came up, still I stayed vested
Hit the floor, then I shift my weight
Tell that doubt it can wait, can wait
[Chorus]
I move smart cause I’m the king of the streets
When I get knocked down, I get back on my feet
I won’t accept defeat
I won’t accept defeat (no way)
King of the streets
King of the streets (say it)
I get back on my feet
I won’t accept defeat
[Bridge]
They counted me out, I heard every word
Made me sharper than they ever heard
Now I stand where the pressure meets
Calm on top of these cracked-up streets
[Final Chorus]
I move smart cause I’m the king of the streets
When I get knocked down, I get back on my feet
I won’t accept defeat
I won’t accept defeat (no way)
King of the streets
King of the streets (say it)
I get back on my feet
I won’t accept defeat
