"EMPEROR" lyrics
(feat. BumboTheCleric)
[BumboTheCleric:]
Lay down your weapons
You serve a higher call
I can offer you pleasure
Don't make me bring you pain
Vanity without measure
Or sacrifice your name
Worship me forevermore
Kneel before your Emperor
Never need another to love
[Rustage:]
'Cause I be feeling like an Emperor (Yeah)
Way I'm seizing power, I don't deal in primogeniture (Wooh)
See me in the forums, I be speaking like a senator (Ayy)
Never diplomatic, they sycophantic for others; up inside 'em like an enema (Ha-ha)
Tell me that I'm better, but say I'm not a competitor
You can hate the letter, but never mess with the messenger (Ayy)
Copy my endeavors, they're second best in the register (Wooh)
No respect for the legends and records of the imperator (Yeah, ayy)
The greatest, say I'm celebrated (Ayy)
Life is like spaghetti cause' it's hard until you make it (Yeah)
I be penning classics while they're mid like Middle Ages
I be maxing my production 'til I'm overstimulated
Making money with my face on it, payin' off their wages (Ayy)
Talent that I'm dropping, they thinking I'm the Escapist (Nah)
Fully Ramblomatic, they panic up in my spaces
I go veni, vidi, vici on beats cause' I'm here to take it
And I-
[BumboTheCleric:]
I can offer you pleasure
Don't make me bring you pain
Vanity without measure
Or sacrifice your name
Worship me forevermore
Kneel before your Emperor
Never need another to love
[Rustage (BumboTheCleric):]
And they look at my legions
Not another king, or a lord, or a chieftain (Forevermore)
And they look at my regions
Not another valley, or a gorge, or a fiefdom (I'll be your lord)
And they know, it's my season
Look at all my plaques, my awards, my achievements (Never need another to love)
It's the way that I'm leadin'
[Rustage:]
Up in the basilica, amphitheatre, cinema (Ayy)
Cause' I be spitting quicker than Britain is switching prime ministers
And they gon' say they hate me, but begging me for a signature
Another visitor, I feel like I'm fighting back the waves like I'm Caligula
I'm not good at talking, but I'm great at doing trivia (Ayy)
I hit 'em with a combo and then fade 'em with my finisher (Wooh)
They thinking I'm a plebeian, a basic type of villager (Nah)
Bring anyone, I match 'em for the day like Gary Lineker (Huh)
It'll never be a question of taste
Best in the game
Circus like my festival stage
I be living it like Nero, how I left it in flames
Now that all these other rappers got confessions to make
Like they all wanna Brutus, but truth is I can't be slain
They don't know my movements, I'm cruising up in my lane
Put your back into it, I'm bruising 'em like I'm Bane
And I've been doing what I'm doing since the day that I was named
[BumboTheCleric:]
Lay down your weapons
You serve a higher call
I can offer you pleasure
Don't make me bring you pain
Vanity without measure
Or sacrifice your name
Worship me forevermore
Kneel before your Emperor
Never need another to love
[Rustage (BumboTheCleric):]
And they look at my legions

And they look at my regions
Not another valley, or a gorge, or a fiefdom (I'll be your lord)
And they know, it's my season
Look at all my plaques, my awards, my achievements (Never need another to love)
It's the way that I'm leading
Lay down your weapons
You serve a higher call
I can offer you pleasure
Don't make me bring you pain
Vanity without measure
Or sacrifice your name
Worship me forevermore
Kneel before your Emperor
Never need another to love
