Buried in Riches - Emperor

I got some subjects and they need addressing
A lotta tough talk but I see no progressing
The horns and the drums is very unnerving
You talk of the glory but you're undeserving

This is a master and I'm at a pinnacle
Flow is like water, I'm practically mythical
Slaughter the weak, it's all very clinical
Typical rappers have unleashed my wrath
It's gonna be biblical, just do the math
Lyrical giant, don't be defiant
I'll cut you in half and then I'll just laugh

I am a king, I'm a god
I am a shogun, I am a khan
Cut from the same cloth of destinies past
Rey Chavo the chosen one, been bred to last
I am an emperor, I am a Caesar
I am a sultan, I am a leader
Cut from the same cloth of destinies past
Rey Chavo the chosen one, been bred to last

I came and I saw and I conquered
You all should really feel honored
I'm giving you quality, honesty, break from the quantity
Novelty, more like the Odyssey
No time for modesty
Compared to my peers I'm an anomaly
I am a prodigy, check my biology
All of the emperors, I am their progeny

So
Now what in the world should I fear
Nobody else belongs on my tier
So I'm just stuck chasing legends
My sentences channel the essence
Of rappers, of poets
Of conquerors slaying opponents
So you peasants stay paying your penance
Do not make me show you my vengeance
Your engines are stalling, your verses appalling
Talking and talking but where is the soul
I shine on my own, don't need platinum or gold
Whatever god made me, they destroyed the mold
I am the one that the prophets foretold
I can't be controlled, don't do what I'm told
When I'm on the mic what a sight to behold
Colder than ice and so damn precise
Spitting that fire that spells their demise
I got all you rats in a vise
This is a warning I ain't saying twice

I am a king, I'm a god
I am a shogun, I am a khan
Cut from the same cloth of destinies past
Rey Chavo the chosen one, been bred to last
I am an emperor, I am a Caesar
I am a sultan, I am a leader
Cut from the same cloth of destinies past
Rey Chavo the chosen one, been bred to last

My one true joy is destroying my enemies
Never show mercy, that way they remember me
Feel free to pick up the mic if you have the will
But here I must warn you, I just kill at will
I just at the chance to display all my skill
I've studied the beats and the rhymes
I've studied the greats and the lines
I've grown and I've struggled at times

So trust me I don't take this lightly
I'm always up late 'cause I'm doing it nightly
If I didn't care I'd just mumble and curse
But I write and I write and I perfect the verse
Obsessed with perfection, a gift and a curse
So that's why there's tension, 'cause nobody's paying attention
Somewhere we lost the connection and that's the regression
We lost all the prose, wrapped up in money and hoes
Tired of all the same flows, it's basic and everyone knows
Your wrist been on froze, your chain glitters and glows
But you in denial if you think your flow like the Nile
You ain't a god with these lyrics if there ain't no message
Send Hermes to your house to collect percentage
Cause I am Apollo, I live on Olympus
These words are not hollow, I'm Nike
I'm in this to win this and you are bear witness

I am a king, I'm a god
I am a shogun, I am a khan
Cut from the same cloth of destinies past
Rey Chavo the chosen one, been bred to last
I am an emperor, I am a Caesar
I am a sultan, I am a leader
Cut from the same cloth of destinies past
Rey Chavo the chosen one, been bred to last
