(I will be)
(I will be)
Peter Park, Spiderman, all I do is climb the charts
Flash Gordon when recordin', spark the light in the dark
Without the boy H O V
'Cause ya boy Hov is back, you know them broads comin' out
I repeat, sing along with me
Underdog before my cape, still couldn't stop 'em
When kingdom come, you ready?
Get your swag back, daddy, where your focus at?
I run the streets, the streets don't run we
(I will be)
Guess what New York, New York? We back
When kingdom come
Not only N.Y.C., I'm hip hop's savior
So after this flow, you might owe me a favor
The War-Hova, who you know took over tracks like that?
(I will be)
(I will be)
When kingdom come, you ready?
And there's much bigger issues in the world, I know
When kingdom come, you ready?
So after this flow, you might owe me a favor
Where's Iceberg Slim? He was the coldest cat
The king of New York, New York
(I will be)
I'm showin' growth, I'm so in charge
(I will be)
I put the whole world on my back and broad shoulders
Not only N.Y.C., I'm hip hop's savior
So I moved on to Dom Cuvée Rose
So after this flow, you might owe me a favor
Not only N.Y.C., I'm hip hop's savior
I'm CEO and yeah, goin' God
(I will be)
Not only N.Y.C., I'm hip hop's savior
Ladies sayin', “Where you been Superman?”
So after this flow, you might owe me a favor
Not only N.Y.C., I'm hip hop's savior
When kingdom come
Now everywhere I go, they like, “Hov, you back”
Not only N.Y.C., I'm hip hop's savior
Just when they thought it was all over
Now I'm so enlightened, I might glow in the dark
Fuck Cristal, so they ask me what we drinkin'
(I will be)
Up out the corner office, out the cul-de-sac
And I'm so evolved, I'm so involved
Y'all run, we chill, still waters run deep
When niggas spendin' ten million in media on my hands
(I will be)
But, just when you thought the whole world fell apart
But despite that, the boy is back
Sellin' blow in the park, this I know in my heart
When kingdom come, I'm ready
Since I was six, seventeen, been gettin' money down south
So after this flow, you might owe me a favor
I hear 'Hurry up Hov' when I'm out in the public
C'mon playboys, bring your cars back out
So after this flow, you might owe me a favor
Got 'em dancin' on the bankhead like they from Bankhead
Not only N.Y.C., I'm hip hop's savior
And I ain't never been afraid of a drought
I'm so indebted, I should have been deaded
'Cause niggas like, "Don't you love it, you be it, you're of it
Got to admit a little bit, I was sick of rap
When you need me, just throw your ROC signs in the air, yeah
The king of New York, New York
When kingdom come, I'm ready
When kingdom come, you ready?
I thought dude's remark was rude, okay
I take off the blazer, loosen up the tie
(I will be)
Step inside the booth, Superman is alive
I run the streets, the streets don't run we
When kingdom come
The Bruce Wayne of the game have no fear
'Bout it, 'bout it, Master P
(I will be)
But I first had to take care of the world, I know
(I will be)
You breathe it, we need it, bring it back for the hustlas"
(I will be)
Had to dust off the Hammer, dance, 'U Can't Touch This'
Ask the nigga, Pimp C, ask my homey, Bun B
The king of New York, New York
Hoppin' up in the office, you might know him as Clark
I'm from the bottom, so I still feel 'em from the bottom
