King of New York

[Verse 1] Wake up to the mathematics, rhyme fanatic, lyrical acrobatic, fantastic Master mind, shine thoughts, hell of a force I come through, niggas take a deep breath and pause O.C. I, recognize me, I'm V.I.P. Stats Feared like vampire bats Suck blood out of beats that bang Make it sharp, drain every main vein Takin' fluid out the brain Verbal autops, when I perform, voice box locked like lock jaw Wide open like a sore I'm the cure, the medicine, the anesthetic Scientist in for walks of rhyme then esoteric Let It be known, Who bad to the bone marrow? I pierce ears like the target in a bow and arrow Phenomenon speak with grace Smackin' niggas in the face like a 808 with deep bass [Chorus] I come through with mad force, y'all ain't ready for war I'm your worst nightmare behind the closed door I whirlwind through the city like a blizzard with force Recognize I'm the king of New York, motherfucker [Verse 2] I take it straight, no chase to the head Like Baldwin and Fishburne in Fled, full of bloodshed Theories of Einstein, perfectin' ideas take a lifetime Must say I'm reachin' my prime Poetic like Langston Hughes, masterpieces When I write rhymes they form into a thesis Degrees of emceein' Lesson number one, perfect the breathin, say rhymes without screamin Keep your toes even Hot as the Serengeti gets, equipped with the steady shit Always on point and my middle name's readiness My Niche is, sound pitches, when it switches Like pimps with hoes, on the stroll trickin' them bitches Lyrics stay tight like a virgin in white If I was handicapped I'd still be determined to write Fuck around with the Shogun that's holdin' the mic Get sliced like swiss, cause your shit ain't tight [Chorus] I come through with mad force, y'all ain't ready for war I'm your worst nightmare behind the closed door I whirlwind through the city like a blizzard with force Recognize I'm the king of New York, motherfucker [Verse 3] I spit lyrics like venom, get em' in my zone Make it known that my lake got reptiles in em' When I strike it's lightnin' fast A lot of y'all ain't ready for O.C., y'all to light in the ass I'm like C-4, ready to blast If I explode in this, best believe I'm holdin' more then stash Legendary and I'm not even dead yet I've been fightin' this war long enough, so I'm considered a vet I was chose to attend the round table with gods I was here in the past life as L. Malik Shabazz Check my birthdate, Malcolm X was born in May We coincide, same month, same year, same day Before being born I was destined for greatness When I was just floatin' in my Mom's stomach weightless Slapped on the ass by this nurse in operation My nuts swingin' upside down, the world I'm facin Its Nine months later, job well done Motherfuckers make way, cause here I come [Chorus] I come through with mad force, y'all ain't ready for war I'm your worst nightmare behind the closed door I whirlwind through the city like a blizzard with force Recognize I'm the king of New York, motherfucKer
