Pete Philly - Empire

I know that you have noticed how the empire is falling
Time to replace it, time to quit stalling
Let the flood come to wash it away
No looking back, here comes a new day now
You all noticed how the empire is falling
Time to replace it, time to quit stalling
Let the flood come and wash it away eh eh eh

Yo haven’t you all noticed
That lifestyle is bogus
Turn off my tv
And I keep my focus
No hocus pocus
N' no no magic
Deal with the real, even when it's tragic
Pass it, been there many years already
Staying in the same game with my aim steady
You all cause pretty, 'bout to sing my medley
Describe the beautiful, the ugly, the deadly
Anything else human be them, shoot the slaves' master, free them
Driving of in his brand new BM, born for two things, seeing and mc-ing
Fleeying the scene, yo, and I don’t like the way it looks
To many tales of businessmen, thugs and crooks
Now it is to rapshodies, like modern day books
Knew they were coming, you know how many days it took

I know that you have noticed how the empire is falling
Time to replace it, time to quit stalling
Let the flood come to wash it away
No looking back, here comes a new day now
You all noticed how the empire is falling
Time to replace it, time to quit stalling
Let the flood come and wash it away eh eh eh Do you know what kind of budgets the military gets
Cash fortune and size, do they really give a shit
Starts at an early age, playing with your boys
You should be 5 years old and having guns as toys
Now being programmed, I wish that I could say that I fear no man
But, yo, I fear mankind, 'cause the men ain't blind
'Cause we unwind
'Cause the talent for destruction, is the way we shine
And we love confrontation, that is my only explanation
The fact that we keep recreating, the same situation, the same sensation
Of vanquish and pain, going throughout these nations
To come to heart of it, all that you can do is not become part of it
Like, fight the system, break the machine
Every bit of reality always starts with a dream

I know that you have noticed how the empire is falling
Time to replace it, time to quit stalling
Let the flood come to wash it away
No looking back, here comes a new day now
You all noticed how the empire is falling
Time to replace it, time to quit stalling
Let the flood come and wash it away eh eh eh

Only the educated want revolution to come
With the budgets being cut, so there will be none
With every new crack, where the beat will outrun
It gets harder to get your information
Try to dumb us down, or lay their guns down
And the sound of a clap, becomes the soundtrack
To Apocalypse, whow, the catch is rocking this
Or the catch is selling rocks to kids
To feed its pockets, haven’t you all noticed how
Cash rules everything, truly still ruling
The hearts of all the men, every time I really get to stand still
I think I know that you all, too, have noticed too all the suffering

I know that you have noticed how the empire is falling
Time to replace it, time to quit stalling
Let the flood come to wash it away
No looking back, here comes a new day now
You all noticed how the empire is falling
Time to replace it, time to quit stalling
Let the flood come and wash it away eh eh eh
