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...
