His father built paths
Left him it all
He knew from the start
His empire would fall
Himself to blame
Lit a match set to flame
Forever trapped on King Street
Grew up on the block
His name feared by men
A chill down their spines
But that was all then
A slip of the tongue
A knife sealed his fate
Forever trapped on King Street
Stories that you've heard
Tales that you've seen
Gotta keep your eyes open wide
But don't say a word on King Street
Stories that you've heard
Tales that you've seen
Gotta keep your eyes open wide
But don't say a word on King Street
Close your eyes
But you'll always see the light
In this haze
Where days all seem like nights
Close your eyes
But you'll always see the light
In this haze
Where days seem like nights
To know true peace
You must go through wars
If you felt such hurt
Would you really want some more
You carry scars but ain't seen it all before
We're all at the mercy of nature's law
Stories that you've heard
Tales that you've seen
Gotta keep your eyes open wide
But don't say a word on King Street
Stories that you've heard
Tales that you've seen
Gotta keep your eyes open wide
But don't say a word on King Street
Forever trapped on King Street
