Boy selling papers
Caught a glimpse behind the scenes
Saw they had more
Than he had ever dreamed
Their suits were tailormade
Their boots were shining clean
Careless tough faces
Looking proud as can be
Started looking how they ruled the streets
So they were livin' it up, livin' it up
Beyond his dreams
estribillo:
King of the night
Once and forever
Pay your respect or you'll go down
Now he's the king of the night
Hell or high water
I dare you, try to take my crown
Left his old man's business to
Run them little services
Wore his hat way tilted and
Rolled up his sleeves
Fought, got arrested, jailed
Took a bullet in their name
Got himself a gang name
Loved it all the way
His guts were tested on the streets
And he never gave up, never gave up
He was bound to be
