Empire (Lyric)

Snippet from James Baldwin

Uniqme verse:

We use to slave niggas

now we microwave niggas

It’s like a phase we’re all set in our ways

We’re just Guinea pigs and lab rats

Setting up stage

Where a peaceful protest will leave you dead in a cage yo

And Marshal Law is coming we’re just seconds away

We’re facing catastrophic shit that won’t go away

Okay Let’s blame the president that’s the story today

They took the power from the people in the police state

And yet the powers that be wanna show me hate

Make America Great Again look at all these snakes

We got bodies on top of bodies found in all these lakes

If we can trust police then we’ll all be safe

I’m not going to lock myself in the house because we all need space

But we’re living in trying times and we lost our faith

And the body count now big numbers cross my way

And the families of the victims don’t trust this place

And politically they tell you don’t discuss this case

Let’s be clear. There’s a whole lot of violence out here

If you tell them how you feel you’ll get silence out here

It’s s lot to digest and I can not preserve

That’s why I call it like I see it and I don’t mean to be rude

But at Pulse night the Sheriff let the terrorist shoot

And now Black lives matter is a terrorist group

Through a flawed system we’re doing what the terrorist do

And I don’t even watch the news cuz they ain’t telling the truth

What kind of world we live in when they target the youth

I give back when I step in the booth so don’t shoot

It’s a daily grind trying to accept the truth so fuck you

Babylonians are looking for men to slaughter, then the hell they chose a black man's life



Spec-Illst verse

Yo they got us scared to speak, I’m speaking cuz I’m scared

Of the future cuz presently they don’t really care

About us tell me who you can trust when those we trust to serve and protect become corrupt

And not give a fuck about us

People of color, Black lives don’t really matter

They want us to kill each other

Have hate for one another just some nigga not my brother

We suppose to stand united we suppose to love each other

Huh. Instead we chose colors that separate us

Hoods we segregate em, our youth miseducated

Police officers racist, mission just to erase us

Disrespect and degrade us

Pointing guns in our faces

Angry and aggressive teasing when they test us

Get pop like a quiz if you don’t follow directions

Make the wrong move you get shot without a question

Take you down with brute force you ain’t gotta have a weapon

Hold down with no remorse like they’re teaching you a lesson

Saying crazy shit like this is for your protection

Until somebody yells gun within a split second

Man shot by a cop he resisted being arrested

Yeah. What they really mean he was just the wrong complexion

In the right neighborhood he just took a different direction

Living within the system broken flawed to perfection

Neglected too many wrongs that need correction

We done reached a boiling point and we’re tired of being subjected to police violence

From our protectors we need protection

Question whatever happen to freeze

Hands up behind your head and turn around on your knees

Hands-cuffs Miranda rights court cases and these

I would take it like a Champ if you allow me to breathe if you allow me to live and correct what I did

But you want to see me dead because the tone of my skin

Don’t shoot -
