Lost - Collapse Under The Empire

Blackin' out…

I feel like I should be packin' now

Cause sometimes I feel like I’m Pacquiao

(Or) Like the president of Urugway

I see these ants climbin' on me

And I hear them shout

But I don’t fear 'em, I feel 'em

Cause I’m that ant when I look in the mirror

I’m shoutin' into this colossus Empire

But all it do is neglect me Disrespect me

It want me to obey

So as a favor it will protect me

But I don’t need protection From anybody

I’m just afraid that I could Collapse Under the Empire

I was raised in these streets

They thought me to question and deny

Every power

Like Richard Pryor I will set myself on fire

Run these streets and tell you how I feel about these liars

Give me fighters !

Give me revolution !

I bet if you ask any fighter he will tell you this is pollution

Not livin'…

Cause this ain’t the world they fought

People starvin'

And not dreamin'

Livin' a nightmare so they start the heavy drinkin'

The ship is sinkin' if the weakest link is

The one that I’m inkin'

I know that you would like to think it’s All right

But I’ve seen man cry All night

Never been up with no light

I’ve seen them with their hands up

But no fight

I don’t understand how can you abandon your child

He’s out there alone and you give him no time

This love is unconditional No lie !

Empire is lookin' into my eyes

And it’s tellin' me that it’s the truth

When I know it’s all lies

We’re bound but we cut All ties

I’ve seen them dudes with bow ties readin' Times

Walk over a man beggin' for some life

Excuse me but it’s a Riot of Emotions inside !

I was always ready to dive

Ready to help you

But honestly I won’t die

And it’s modesty that you should think about

Probably you could never stop the apocalypse

But at least you could rest in peace !

I mean some empathy is all we need

See!

I was raised up with have-nots

And people in need

So!

I have seen how they bleed

And I know what it means to be in the sink

When they throw at you everything

Except for the kitchen sink

So maybe that’s why I’m helpful

And less selfish but more selfless

But it means more on my shoulders and chest…
