about

1st record off of my upcoming mixtape "Never Apart".

Empire [ˈɛmpaɪə] - everything that oppresses e.g. government, poverty, hatred.

I speak about all the Empires that take advantage of us every day !
I talk about politics, lack of empathy, lack of interest, governments being aggressive, life being a failure for some of us, our closest exposing their lack of love for us, every day struggle of all and folk who have no home and are constantly thrown into a ditch.

Have some empathy, it don't hurt at all and might help someone.

PS Always question every authority !

lyrics

Blackin' out...
I feel like I should be packin' now
Cause sometimes I feel like I'm Pacquiao
(Or) Like the president of Uruguay
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 taught 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...
