Story Behind The Song

Motivation? 1st, I needed a a perfect "album-opener"... you know, one of those songs that hits you in tha mouth & gets you hype to hear tha rest of tha album (like 2Pac's "Ambitionz Az A Ridah" & Metallica's "Enter Sandman"). And 2nd, i needed a perfect track to start my shows with. And this was it. It's about my coming rise to power & my methods & motivations to get there. Some lyrics have a Biblical edge to them (like the end of days) & others are just cold.

Song Description

Smooth intro leads to a crunk beat, layered with a thick & melodic chorus. The 1st verse describes my mindset & motivations, including the sacrifices i've made to reach the top. The 2nd verse has more of a Biblical edge to it, speaking on the dark origins of the main character. "the gods signaled that i was chosen with a string of bloody omens/ more like a Pharoah than a Moses, defied the plague of the locusts" The 3rd verse touches on how my destiny meshes with my actions in the rap world.

Lyrics

Chorus

My destiny's to conquer and plunder
until the death of me
to Hell with peace, i crave an empire
spanning the Seven Seas
next to me, nations will crumble
as i crush their industries
i want success for me
and a messy death for my enemies

V1

I made my name in tha Ville from a string of broken deals,
crimes and extortion
i'd helped assorted niggaz accumulate profits
and i wanted a portion
was "rewarded" by them distorting my image
cuz i took tha glory
now they're laying in a pool of blood
while i'm plotting in a hidden fortress
chose tha money over my family
cuz i knew in time they'd abandon me
besides, it was always a dream to see
my name on a golden canopy
for me to command a fleet to man tha streets
and seize financially
tha means to stand and free humanity
from tha greed of Man's deceit
a prince among tha peasants
tha jealous wanna see me stressing
never happen, cuz i'm protected
by the best of Israeli weapons
power hungry, chasing fame's become
a disturbing obsession
it'll probably end in a fatal lesson
but still i won't settle for second
so i question my supporters
suspicious of their hidden motives
and tha second i'm sensing a threat
i'm resorting to the use of torture
and if i never reach tha top
then my spirit will never rest in peace
i'll haunt tha city streets
until i fulfill my destiny

Chorus

V2


I never said i was a leader
ain't a prophet or a soldier
i'm just a butcher on a mission,
craving power like tha Romans
tha gods signaled that i was chosen
with a string of bloody omens
more like a Pharaoh than a Moses
defied the plague of the locusts
i traded my blades for bullets
gave up my honor for dollars
underneath the shell of a monster
lies tha mind of a scholar
but you stand too close when you follow
and even ya'll will be slaughtered
and all my critics come up missing
bodies riddled with hollows
even when i'm dead and gone
i'll still be forever known as "The Chosen One"
tha golden son, destined for power, leaving you overrun
crushing every opponent yet still i'm knowing
there's more to come
so i load my guns
and proceed to murder you lowly scum
intelligence combined with ambition and treachery
the perfect recipe for conquest or the death of me
keep telling me i'm destined to fail, bitch then let it be
but that i'll haveta see
cuz i must fulfill my destiny

Chorus

V3

I cain't even lie, i know i'm tha shit
roam tha streets with a loaded clip
tha first nigga step is gone get hit
burn his chest, put a hole in his ribs
even then tha coldness of the abyss
proceeds to call me so in a zone i slip
i know i won't resist tha voices that beckon
causing my soul to shift
it's filling me with a darkness
that's blindly seeking out my enemies
tha energy's overwhelming
it overflows, causing a killing spree
tha goal's to conquer this industry
be it with my skills or artillery
and all who oppose my power are gonna be
broken and flooded with misery
but how can you knock tha flow
when even my closest foes are a notch below?
their labels have got to know
that even those at the top are not for long
cuz if i can not control tha charts with songs
then fuck it, i'll seize the throne
and once i defeat you hoes
i'm having you shot as i watch you decompose
their leaders froze, frantically cursing tha Lord
for their sudden troubles
while the others panic, dispersing
through tha mounds of bloody rubble
some are smothered, even tha survivors realize
they're gonna suffer
and none of you niggaz can stop it
you got it, you mu fuckaz?, it's my destiny

Chorus
