Empire Lyrics

I reside where the lights scrape the sky

You can't miss it dazzling in the distance

I get down where the towers greet the clouds

And below me a thousand feet of stories

Opulence and violence

Consequence and sirens

Kingdom where the meek pay their tributes of the tyrants

Jewel of innovation

Built from desolation

Harboring both the pride and the shame of the nation

Living in the old

City young

City bold

City gold

City grime

City rich

City poor

City roar

City rise

City girls

City boys

City ploys

City life

City soar

City sights

City skyline

Your city my

City our

City power

City lights

City lungs

City buzzed

City love

City nights

City strong

City weak

City free

City wild

City streets

City beats

City life time

Land of gods and of beasts and of men

What a mystery, beings coexisting

Lay my head by the dying the dead

And the thriving all our worlds colliding

Sacrifice and tithing

Chakras aligning

Cut from different clothes but the walls serve as binding

Peace and segregation

Blessed deprivation

Bending more of the rules with each new generation

Look what we've become

City run

City walk

City talk

City rhyme

City daze

City craze

City scapes

City style

City muse

City hues

City views

City vibes

City lows

City highs

City life lines

Shine city shine

City glow

City grow

City thrive

City roam

City home

City song

City skies

City strife

City vice

City ice

City fire

City crowns

City sounds

City live wires

Fresh city spunk

City funk

City junk

City gems

City dope

City folk

City fiends

City friends

City hopes

City goals

City dreams

City fears

City now

City then

City Empire
