Lord AV - Imperial State of Mind lyrics

[Verse 1: Lord AV] Rebel like Toussaint in Saint Laurent Pushing DuPont's off flaming lakefronts Converting this dough to croissants With nuance, In Paris Embarra**ed by lack of care of the cost Aware of the perils of lux apparel on envious hearts The air of a Pharaoh, Tutankhamen on steroids Building blueprints my Banneker architect dreams as little boy The need for acceptance when favoritism would be employed Made the hunger for my respect turn to ambition for the world Wanting them Richie rich riches & power, tempted by b**hes and showered With gifts by princes and Providences with wives and dowry Look like two Tamara Mowry's, they say that be double the fun Double the pleasure well my dick double-mint for them gums I'm just trying to get golden bricks higher than Giza pyramid Till I stumble a geezer and pa** my empire to my kid The hood that I grew up in nepotism did not exist That sh** was an urban legend, but watch me debunk the myth Young Imperialist b**h [Hook 1: Lord AV] I will take your town I will take your crib I will take your crown I will take your b**h Till I'm in the ground That's just how I get Till I'm in the ground That's just how I live That's just how I live [Verse 2: Lord AV] Her main mane claim he know how to ball man But bought her Balmain on train off purse hustling bald man And on my balls, say she faithful, but me she calling But'll let me bang get brain if I gain a lil' rap fame I over stand, go a lil harder than Hova then Double back in that rover, just to bone her then go f** her friend I'm just the product of pain Too naive in my younger days Now I'm out here like hunger games Drunk with power, let you chase, while I sing I'm taking dykes and they girlfriends Black Napolean I tailpipe them hoes again Axel Folying What happens when you taught you a god When you 3 years old a child And you grow up in this wild All I know just go hard Genghis Khan in this b**h want it all and I don't give a sh** I'm a god, nail your b**h to the wall, now gone and feel this dick Till a n***a be the master I'll be scarred off in this whip Till a n***a be the master I'll be scarred off in this whip b**h [Hook 2: Lord AV] I will take your town I will take your crib I will take your crown I will take your b**h Till I'm in the ground That's just how I get Till I'm in the ground That's just how I live That's just how I live [Verse 3: Lord AV] Since been legal, tried to keep my mind off these b**hes Feel like Steven Segal all these f**ing spines I be twisting Have ‘em doing Kegels' while I'm on the grind for these riches Cause they know I'm regal, I ain't got no time to be slipping I'm a Calipha, Sultan of high caliber Go to war like Galaga Crush your head like Gallagher Battlestar Galactica Send it up like Attica Send me back to Africa I'll come back more blackerer All this crack is named after crackers Back then bull whip crackers Caught us lackin, now suburban whites Getting it crack-a-lacking Bound to happen 8 white girls off Molly clapping Thanks to Miley re-enacting Twerk a n***a throw it back then Make it whistle, no open casket b**h [Hook 3: Lord AV] I will take your town I will take your crib I will take your crown I will take your b**h Till I'm in the ground That's just how I get Till I'm in the ground That's just how I live I will take your town I will take your crib I will take your crown I will take your b**h Till I'm in the ground That's just how I get Till I'm in the ground That's just how I live That's just how it is
