Lyrics

Yeah, It's the Emperor y'all. (Uh.)
Don't start with me I'll bring an end to all.
Uh, (uh-huh,) yeah, listen.
They better kneel to the Boss.
(Uh-huh.)

I ain't come to play, I just come to slay.
Best believe today's your lucky day, once I touch the stage. (Uh-huh.)
Top spot forever, bruh, these number never fluctuates.
Hottest thing alive when I shine I set the sun ablaze,
make the Winter season feel like Summer days.
Forward, 'cause there ain't no other way, no matter what awaits. (Uh-huh.)
I am unafraid, I'll never run away.
Best to do it, done it, did it, flipped it 'bout a hundred ways.
I'm just saying,

Right?! I'm the winner, bruh, you never equipped to win the fight.
Against the Emperor, listen up are you men or mice?
I'm the pinnacle, quite formidable. Never seen the likes
of originals, making miracles, Y'all don't see the light?!
Y'all got your eyes closed. Off into my zone,
fly like a meteor, I'm in the media, they want to be up in my throne.
Ride in the whip, yall gotta quit, got all of this on my own.
Tryin' to hit me up on my phone, all that they get is the dial tone.
Take it all 'til there's nothing's left, that's just how you get it right.
Yeah, they dying to be me, it's no wonder that they can't get a life.
Every time that they see me trying to eat off me like parasites.
No surprise. Only room at the top for one, so step aside.
This is Big E, get me, these posers are merely lowercase.
Out of this world, at a loss for words, you don't clearly know your place.
I put it down plain, I'm in the fast lane moving at a tortoise's pace.
So unbothered I got a permanent poker face, enjoy the race. (Yeah!)

I ain't come to play, I just come to slay.
Best believe today's your lucky day, once I touch the stage. (Uh-huh.)
Still number one, bruh these numbers never fluctuate.
Put your drive to the test, see me, better pump your breaks.
Crew got more runners than the Summer games.
Forward, 'cause there ain't no other way, no matter what it takes. (Uh-huh.)
I am unafraid, I'll never run away.
Best to do it, done it, did it, flipped it 'bout a hundred ways.
I'm just saying,

Though! Yo! You dealing with a pro! (Oh!)
Had to let'em know (oh!) They get ate like Ocho! (Uh-huh.)
Don't make me embarrass you, keep that on the low, low.
P.L. crew up in this piece and your crew is a no show.
Loco,[note 1] testing me and li'l homie solo.
Legend in the streets, on the mic a virtuoso.
They say that they're ready, for their sake, I really hope so.
Out here making history you better snap a photo.
Fakers out here hating on me they don't want this work.
Trying to knock me off the throne but your boy been known to swerve.
Wanna off me just get on but these peons are absurd.
Ambitions of ascension, but I keep their dreams deferred.
Wanna knock me off the top, but I'm laughing while they're reaching.
I will never stop shining down on them like beacons.
Grinding thru the weekend and I don't need a reason.
"Full throttle" is my motto 'til I'm riding off the deep end!

Doubt you want a problem, but keep on talking then, it's bout to be.
They said the sky's the limit but they lied 'cause ain't no topping me.
(Yeah!) You ain't as live as me. How can there be a rivalry?
Loneliest at the top, you see, I'm enjoying my privacy.
I am feeling so fresh, (yeah!) worked to be the best. (Yeah!)
Workin hard and playing hard, and I don't need no rest. (Yeah!)
Livin' like a King, nothing but winners on my team. (yeah!)
Going hard I know the cost, just blowing off some steam. (Ooh!)
This is how I get it done, just trying to have a little fun.
I walk through fire, make rivers run, I been the one, not two. (Oh!)
So listen up, my dude, (yeah!) every member of my crew.
Since little ones, weren't putting up with simpletons or fools.
No giving up, can't lose, (yeah!) won't take what I can't use. (Yeah!)
Spread my wing and stretching out cuz' I'm about to get loose. (Yeah!)
The Emperor will get on with anyone you choose. (Yeah!)
Let 'em tell it on the news. (Yeah!) When it's said and done I'm through! (Ooh!)

It's the Emperor, y'all.
You better kneel to the Boss!
(Uh-huh!)
