Ionika - EMPIRE (feat. 808 Carter)

I’m about to cash out (Yo, where’s my money?)
Maybe spend a couple racks on a table out in Macau (Yuh, yuh)
That’s wild, paparazzi caught a bad smile (Hah)
Oh wow, I’m guessing this is what it means to be famous now (Shit, I’m famous?)
Trappin’ at the frat house, me and Carter moving big pounds (Yeah, Carter)
Speakers pumping bass loud, kids are wasted all around
Crowd is leaving, let’s bounce, yeah we sippin’ on the brown
Kings wear the crown, got the city on lockdown
Whippin’ in the Audi, yeah we goin’ kamikaze (Uh)
And we leaving hella bodies like we’re pullin’ Rick and Morty (Uh)
And I got myself a shawty, we so hot that it’s alarmin’ (So hot)
Man, they hate us ‘cause we foreign, no I’m never feelin’ sorry (Never sorry)
Try to hate, but you hella late, already set my fate
Try to hate, name got hella weight, you rappers second-rate
Try to hate, yeah I’m rockin’ Bape, ‘cause Wavy gettin’ paid (Cha-ching)
Try to hate, I’m at the golden gate, I don’t got time to waste (No time)
Pop off on the scene
I don’t need to pop a bean, I hate you rappers sippin’ lean (Ugh)
Young Eddie got a dream
Yeah, he stackin’ up the green, and he spend it hella clean (So clean)
Tell me what it means
When I hear the fans scream, and they see what I can see (Put those hands up high)
All my music in the lead
Generation Wavy team, burning up and blowing steam (Woo, ooh)
Yeah, I got ‘em racks, semi got some kickback
I relax, haven’t been this hot so I relapsed (I relapsed hard)
It’s a fact, everyone knows that I got the map
Hear the beat slap, shoutout to the hottest brother, Jad (Shoutout Jad Walker)
I watch from the rooftop as my city rise (Uh)
I’ve been through the struggle, see pain in my eyes (See pain)
Bring death to the game, call that rapper’s demise
I can’t mess with no lames ‘cause this empire’s mine (Empire's mine)
None of you rappers could ever compare to my energy (Energy, energy)
I don’t make friends ‘cause all I be seein’ are enemies (Enemies, enemies)
My vision so clear that I see past the wall that’s in front of me (Front of me, front of me)
I got a whole army of soldiers, just call that my weaponry, weaponry
I’m the king of my empire (Yuh, yuh)
I can only go up higher, up higher (I can only go up, I can only go up)
I’m the king of my empire
Dropping heat like a spitfire, spitfire (So hot, so hot)
I’m the king of my empire (Yeah)
I can only go up higher, up higher (I can only go up)
I’m the king of my empire
Dropping heat like a spitfire, spitfire (Ayo, Carter where you at?)
If I said it, then I did it
Flip the work, I’m with it
Getting to the money
Counting hundreds and them fifties
Look at these bills, they so crispy
She looking back like, “Is you gonna tip me?” (Bitch, what?)
I can’t be caught with a hoe
She still be splitting on poles, smoking on bullshit (Fuck that shit)
Don’t try to play with my name
I can’t be fucking with lame, fuck all that bullshit (Fuck that)
I can’t be wasting my time
I got my plug on the line
I can’t go back to the trenches
Can’t do no nine to five
Think it’s my time to shine (Time to shine)
I don’t be flexing my shit
I don’t need drip on my wrist
Racks in the safe, I invest (Woo, woo)
They know I’ve got it, I’m good
Stay out the hood, I’m with the best of the best (Let’s get it)
I’m the king of my empire (What?)
I can only go up higher, up higher (I can only go up, I can only go up)
I’m the king of my empire
Dropping heat like a spitfire, spitfire (So hot, so hot)
I’m the king of my empire (Yeah)
I can only go up higher, up higher (I can only go up)
I’m the king of my empire
Dropping heat like a spitfire, spitfire (Welcome to my empire)
