Empire

No one controls our existence They never have, never will You see our passion and persistence That's what guides our will Don't need your stories, your headlines Don't need your exposure, we have been defined By our music, the people, the movement, the lifestyle we live We'll be the conduit They evaluate, we dictate They sit and wait, we take charge Invigorate Our minds your minds, never hesitate To express yourself, make your own fate We're self sufficient, we play by our rules Don't need your station's recycled airplay Your monopolies have seen some better days We have the tools, the heart, the vision A global empire that does not need permission They evaluate, we dictate They sit and wait, we take charge Invigorate Our minds your minds never hesitate To express yourself, be yourself Take charge don't play into bitterness The real villains are those who are killing this music with no real substance Use it, abuse it We gain nothing But in the underground we gain something originality Culture that's something more than just recycled nothing We are more than just a token They evaluate, we dictate They sit and wait we take charge Invigorate Our minds, your minds never hesitate To express yourself, make your own fate

Tread easy In this jungle of concrete I walk around this jungle that's tame now With much respect and regard for my surroundings I always have always will because I know the dark side I bear the scars People forget basic fundamentals Things like respect get neglected Don't write this off as tough talk It applies to all walks Tread easy, you're in a danger zone Tread easy, you're not alone There's a new breed that walks so carelessly, so recklessly But it's not bravery Gentrification has bred confidence and with that comes consequence Nonsense Watch what you do, watch what you say watch how you walk it You're not at the top of the food chain You're more like prey Remember what I say Tread easy, you're in a danger zone Tread easy, you're not alone Tread easy, you're in a danger zone Tread easy, this jungle of concrete will take your soul

I'm trying to find the words Searching for the passion I'm coming up short and time never stops passing It's harassing me I watch the seconds tick They turn from minutes to days I need to move quick But where do I look for inspiration Where do I find the hunger, the frustration Oh it's not far at all There's the mirror Look the fight is on again New chapter, new book I'm trying to find, trying to find the lines LWords you can only define as timeless I'm trying to find, trying to find the lines I hope what I find is timeless Once again the struggle is on Once again the pressure will transform us Our presence is strong but not invincible It's a critical time to be visceral Realness stands the test of time It always has but we still have to progress And no this is not about the scene It's about relevance in the bigger scheme of things I'm trying to find, trying to find the lines Words you can only define as timeless I'm trying to find, trying to find the lines I hope what I find is timeless Independent of time, eternal Unaffected by time, ageless In my search of relevance I found that we should always be ourselves And in my search for progress I found that integrity is priceless Timeless

You can say we're all born to lose in a sense, right We all live to die and who knows if there's an afterlife Either way you hope to leave your mark In some way through the journeys you'll embark on An old man told me Kid never settle for anything less than you deserve Wearing a medal on his chest A silver star for valor He didn't have much but was content and what he did mattered He went all out for us, so we should go all out for him and us Hate us or love us we came to prove something So in the end we can't say it was all for nothing (all or nothing) We live to learn Earn our place in life We live, we die But don't go out without a fight I strive to be the best at whatever I do even when I'm being bad Yeah that's the honest truth But being bad never got me anywhere good So I chose the other road I had a choice, I could So many brothers gone by the way side Sisters too, the sorrow it fills my eyes I want to fight I want to blame I want to take names But in the end it's all part of the game That we can't control For them we set examples They went all out for us, so we should go all out for them and us Hate us or love us we came to prove something So in the end we can't say it was all for nothing (all or nothing) We live to learn Earn our place in life We live We die But don't go out without a fight Respect us or fear us We came to be something So in the end we can't say it was all for nothing (all or nothing) We laugh, we cry We sacrifice We live, we die But don't go out without a fight All or nothing All or nothing Hate us or love us we came to prove something So in the end we can't say it was all for nothing (all or nothing) We live to learn Earn our place in life We live We die But don't go out without a fight Respect us or fear us We came to be something So in the end we can't say it was all for nothing (all or nothing) We laugh, we cry We sacrifice We live, we die But don't go out without a fight

I'm trapped in this time machine Where everybody lives in the past I press the button that says fast forward But the machine just starts to laugh I can't run, get me out of here I can't run from the "glory years" There's no glory without pain You see the dark clouds, here comes the rain Time is our friend, just Forget the past Time is our friend, just Live for now Right now Forget the old times Although they've taught us well Old rules apply to fools who die From lack of progress you should rebel I can't run, get me out of here I can't run from what got us here The scars pain and blood remains But I wear black to hide old stains Time is our friend, just Forget the past Time is our friend, just Live for now I said live for Right now I'm trapped in this time machine I feel trapped in a vivid dream There's no glory in living in the past No glory if you don't last On we go Don't stop Time is our friend just Forget the past Time is our friend just Live for now

It's a cold New York winter night I step onto the street and take flight High on life, I'm like nothing can stop me Nothing can stop us, no one can stop me I'm the same person that I've always been Misunderstood but not completely innocent I'm getting older though a little bit wiser A little bit sharper, yeah just a little better I see our empire from these lit up skies This kingdom of hardships that we can't deny I was a stranger from a foreign place, I found my home Here I found my self, my grace, the other pieces of my soul It's been a long hard road that I did not pave alone There still a ways to go But like I said nothing can stop me Nothing can stop us, no one can stop me Without friendship and loyalty I cannot be me, this kingdom is empty Without family and love you could sweep all under the rug We could never rise above I see our empire from these lit up skies This kingdom of hardships that we can't deny I was a stranger from a foreign place, I found my home Here I found my self, my grace, the other pieces of my soul I don't want to wake up from this dream But when I do I know I'll have what I need To succeed and grow And follow my destiny I never crowned myself the king Of anything Still you call us kings If we must lead we will by example Indeed My empire is your empire My empire is your empire Indeed

There's no justice, it's just us Lines that still ring true for some of us As a kid I screamed those words I knew what it meant that our voices need to be heard Can't break it, forsake it The foundation can't be shaken Can't fake it, mistake it The core is shatterproof, shatterproof So displaced so confused Running from something like every single one of you In a world of rejects and rebels Is where I found myself on the same level Can't break it, forsake it The foundation can't be shaken Can't fake it, mistake it The core is shatterproof, shatterproof Look how far we've come And it's only just begun No one can break us, no no no The bond is forged by blood Whether you love or hate us No, no one can break us, no no no The bond is concrete Like the streets that made us We were the victims in pain and abused The unruly class with nothing to lose Now were leaders, fathers, teachers But through it all our brothers keepers Can't break it, forsake it The foundation can't be shaken Can't fake it, mistake it The core is shatterproof, shatterproof

We are at war with ourselves And this war is not fought with guns It's not fought with ammunition There's no bombs but it's terrorism We are under siege And I'm not speaking of the war in the Middle East We are plagued by the worst disease It's called humanity, yes, you and me Too much curiosity will kill us while greed fills us Our bellies are full, the green fulfills us Can it rebuild us after the damage is done It's begun and this is just the tip of the iceberg that's melting The deed is done How much is enough for these corporate thugs? How much is too much? Supply and demand will bleed us Fill the seas with black blood It's the beginning of the end If we don't stop this self-destruction It's the beginning of the end If we don't stop these trends it's suicide We're all killers, we're all killers We all consume, we sell, we're drug dealers We all use abuse what they sell us But who's the evilest of all us sinners It's you who let's the big dog run wild With no rules or regs like a spoiled child They do and get whatever they want when they want As long as the pay offs don't stop And they won't stop It's the beginning of the end If we don't stop this self-destruction It's the beginning of the end If we don't stop these trends it's suicide It's the beginning of the end If we don't stop this self destruction It's the beginning of the end If we don't stop these trends it's suicidal It's homicidal That means it's final I'm talking about these governments All governments and their conglomerates I'm talking about their politics Fuck politics and fuck British Petrol

En la lucha que se llama la vida Solo hay un ganador Pero en el camino a la gran despedida Puedes vivir con honor si senor No es fácil le digo a mi gente De mi experiencia caminos delincuentes Sangre caliente me domina derrepente Un fuego potente candela mi mente Echapalante que para atrás no se va Aqui sigo en este camino Buscando y peliando para quedarme fijo Imaginando un grial del destino Pero en esta carretera hay peligro Sigo y sigo haciendo lo mio Con dos manos en el timon a delante mio Como dice mi abuelo escucha bien mijo Echapalante, el futuro es tuyo Echapalante, que para atrás no se va Echapalante, es la única manera Echapalante, que para atrás no se va Echapalante, es la única manera para mi Es la única manera para mi, para ti Para todos en la lucha para sobrevivir De la experiencia nace el honor Con buenas o malas aprendemos nuestro valor Echapalante, que para atrás no se va Echapalante, con fuerza Echapalante, que para atrás no se va Echapalante, es la única manera para mi
