Built around Building a personal empire through vision, strategy, and relentless execution. Street Wire's raw, unfiltered production carries the concept through hip-hop that rewards repeat listens. "It's built on getting up each time I'm stuck" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs ambitious, commanding. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.
[verse 1]
I think in empires, not in paychecks
Blueprint on my desk, architect of what's next
Every move is a chess piece on the board
Knight to bishop, I can't afford
To think small when my vision's cathedral
Building something that'll outlive the sequel
Bricks of discipline, mortar of focus
They abracadabra but I stay on the opus
My empire isn't built on sand or luck
It's built on getting up each time I'm stuck
On showing up when showing up is hard
Playing every hand, I am the card
[chorus]
Empire state of mind, I'm building something massive
Every brick I lay is active, never passive
Empire state of mind, the crown fits perfect
Every sacrifice I made was worth it
Empire state of mind, from the ground up
Rose from the rubble, never giving up
Empire state of mind, legacy pending
This is just the first chapter, never ending
[verse 2]
Historymakers don't ask for permission
They execute the vision with precision
I studied every mogul, every king
The ones who built their throne from nothing
Took notes and applied it to the block
Turned a corner store mentality to stock
Options, investments, multiple streams
Watered every seed inside my dreams
Now the garden's blooming coast to coast
But I don't sit and brag, I don't boast
I reinvest, I replant, I rebuild
The empire's alive and it's self-willed
[chorus]
Empire state of mind, I'm building something massive
Every brick I lay is active, never passive
Empire state of mind, the crown fits perfect
Every sacrifice I made was worth it
Empire state of mind, from the ground up
Rose from the rubble, never giving up
Empire state of mind, legacy pending
This is just the first chapter, never ending
[bridge]
Rome wasn't built in a day but I'm moving faster
Every failure's just a lesson from the master
The empire rises when the emperor's devoted
Watch the throne, this seat is already loaded
[verse 3]
Dynasty thinking, generational plans
My great-grandchildren will understand
That the man who started everything they have
Was just a kid with a notebook and a map
To a kingdom that existed in his mind
Until he made it real, one day at a time
Empire state of mind, it's more than money
It's the honey from the work of a thousand bees buzzing
[chorus]
Empire state of mind, I'm building something massive
Every brick I lay is active, never passive
Empire state of mind, the crown fits perfect
Every sacrifice I made was worth it
Empire state of mind, from the ground up
Rose from the rubble, never giving up
Empire state of mind, legacy pending
This is just the first chapter, never ending
