Lavish Lyrics


You, you, you want the lavish crib and fancy cars
You want the face, on that Rolex shinin' like the stars
Don't worry Mayne, you could get it Mayne
If you look in the sky and you don't see your dream
Man don't feel defeated, 'cause trust me you can build itNow hear the words that I flow when I spit
I know shorties that be havin' dreams of goin' legit
But the hustle quicker so they cop a fo' on the split
Now they got enough money where they can go get a brickIt's on, ain't nuttin' gon' stop us now
Gotta look at 24's while they watch us now
Spinners rollin' up the block while they pump out noise
But they always get into it with the jump out boysAnd why? Take a look at all the people that got dubs
You ain't legitimate, you out here servin' them rocks up
I know you want the radio and screens to pop up
But we gotta get the money and try not to get locked upKnow the difference between real and fake
Different work is just like different real estate
Open your mind, you got more than the skill to take
'Cause I knowYou, you, you want the lavish crib and fancy cars
You want the face, on that Rolex shinin' like the stars

Don't worry Mayne, you could get it Mayne
If you look in the sky and you don't see your dream
Man don't feel defeated, 'cause trust me you can build itUh, one time for my niggaz on the corner
With the burners on and with the fresh yams in they tube socks
Uh, two times for my niggaz with they hands in the air
Singin' a prayer 'cause the game left their dude shotYes, I know that puzzle
Niggaz at each other thinkin' they will bust you
The bang is the same even if it's muffled
But the moment so loud when a dead man hug youHe's cold in your arms, but you ain't gon' be foldin' your arms
You gon' be lowered in your arms
Cryin' to open the jar, and to add injury to insult
You're smokin' your life awayLook at me, big car, big house, big jewels
All that came out my backpack
You ain't gon' do it, it ain't gon' work, you ain't gon' prove it
Even though that hurt, I just skated past thatLook, everybody got dreams about ki's
Chains full of ice with S after the V's
Horse on the hood, a grill full with the B's
Dangling your feet in San Turiny breezeMake a virtual picture, and spin around
That ain't it, well fuck it nigga we get it down
Never try to grab your ankle nigga, we'll kick 'em down
Focus up, we gotta hit it now, bruhWhen your cell goes clink, that's when you forfeit
All them dreams, all that divorce it
You ain't even get to see new mansion and Porsche shit
This dedicated to my man up in Norfolk, locked upYou, you, you want the lavish crib and fancy cars
You want the face, on that Rolex shinin' like the stars
Don't worry Mayne, you could get it Mayne
If you look in the sky and you don't see your dream
Man don't feel defeated, 'cause trust me you can build itHa ha, wait
Ha ha, waitMy nigga open yo' mind, mind, aren't you ready to go?
All of my dears inside, side, let 'em blow like 'droThrough the wisdom of a prism I see I don't wanna go to prison
I make the decision to get liver
Reminiscin' as I take a listen to my nigga 'Pac
While I envision my 'Ambitions Az a Ridah'Listen to Pharrell spit to the track
Pull up in a burgundy Bentley with a bitch in the back
I get to the paper like a hyper get to the crack
I ain't speculatin' homey I just stick to the facts, c'monIf you wanna get the money and the status and the mob
Better ride when you roll with the crew
Take a listen for the bub hit the bud
When you hear this in the club then you know what to doLook at the vision of a mack spittin' crack on the track
Throw these stacks in the black Cadillac
Get it like Twista and Neptunes, I got your back
And know youYou, you, you want the lavish crib and fancy cars
You want the face, on that Rolex shinin' like the stars
Don't worry Mayne, you could get it Mayne
If you look in the sky and you don't see your dream
Man don't feel defeated, 'cause trust me you can build itHa ha, wait
Ha ha, waitMy nigga open yo' mind, mind, aren't you ready to go?
All of my dears inside, side, let 'em blow like 'droHa ha, wait
Ha ha, waitHa ha, wait
Ha ha, wait

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Carl Terrell Mitchell (born November 27, 1973 in Chicago, Illinois), better known by his stage name Twista and formerly Tung Twista, is an American rapper who once held the title of fastest emcee in the world, being able to pronounce 11.2 syllables per second. In 1992 he released his debut album, Runnin' Off At Da Mouth, and has since released a further seven albums including 1994's Resurrection, 1997's Adrenaline Rush, 2004's highly successful Kamikaze, 2005's The Day After and 2007's Adrenaline Rush 2007. His latest studio album, Category F5, was released in July of 2009.

Twista grew up in the K-Town area on the west side of Chicago. He started rapping at the age of 12. However, before starting his professional career, he worked at several other jobs including working at a factory, selling shoes, working at McDonald's, working as a security guard, and even cutting hair.

Twista was one of the first artists to sign with Loud Records. In 1991, he released Runnin' off at da Mouth under the name of Tung Twista. Due to his rapid-fire pace of delivery, he was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's fastest rapper. Despite this recognition, the album achieved little success. Tung Twista dropped the "Tung" off of his name in his second album Resurrection, which was never released outside of Chicago's underground.

In 1996, he teamed with fellow Chicago act "Do or Die" on the track "Po' Pimp" leading to a contract with Atlantic Records. He released Adrenaline Rush in 1997 followed by Mobstability in 1998. Twista then formed his own Legit Ballin' label which has released two compilation albums Legit Ballin' in 1999 and Legit Ballin' Vol. 2: Street Scriptures in 2001. The label later released Respect The Game,Vol. 3 in 2002 and Volume 4: Tha Truth in 2006.

Twista developed a good reputation in rap circles leading to work with Mariah Carey, P. Diddy (then Puff Daddy),Lil kim, Drag-on, Jay-Z, Timbaland, Ras Kass, Ludacris, Royce Da 5'9", Shaquille O'Neal, and Da Brat. However, it would take him until 2004 to achieve a platinum, number-one record under his own name.

On his website, Twista stated that he made Kamikaze to show that he was still true to the ideals that he had when he started out. "I represent for the MCs that have skills, not just make music for the hell of it. I take the time to concentrate. Otherwise, I could have 10 albums out there, easy. I could sit down all day and write something. But I write when I get in a zone more than writing because I’ve got to do this. I represent the artists that keep it true to what really is, to be able to make rappers want to write."

"I want to show the streets that I’m back and that I’m true to the game. Musically, I want to show that I’m still out here doing my thing. After all the people that were out when I was out years ago fell off, I’m still out here competing with the shorties. I also want to gain platinum success. It’s something that I haven’t done."

The first single, "Slow Jamz", featured Kanye West and Jamie Foxx. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 and world R&B charts in early 2004, and eventually reached number 3 on the UK singles charts. Kamikaze built on the success of "Slow Jamz" to reach the top of the Billboard 200 album chart upon its release in January 2004 and went platinum by March 2004. The second single, "Overnight Celebrity", became another top 10 Hot 100 hit and a UK top 40 entry, while the third, "So Sexy" (featuring R. Kelly), made the top 40 of the Hot 100. In the UK, the album track "Sunshine", which featured R&B singer Anthony Hamilton and lifted its chorus from Bill Withers' "Lovely Day", was extracted as a third single and became a big hit; this track received comparatively little exposure in the U.S., perhaps because rapper Lil' Flip had a huge hit there at the same time with a different song of the same title.
