Lyrics

I know that you have noticed
How the empire is falling
Time to replace it
Time to quit stalling
Let the flood come
And wash it away
No looking back
Here comes a new day now
Y'all noticed
How the empire is falling
Time do replace it
Time to quit stalling
Let the flood come
And wash it away
Haven't y'all noticed that lifestyle is bogus?
Turn of my TV and I keep my focus
No hocus-pocus, no magic
Deal with the real, even when it's tragic
Has it been that many years already?
Staying in the same game with my aim steady
Y'all get ready, about to sing my medley
Describe the beautiful, the ugly
The deadly and anything else human
Shoot the slave's master and free them
Driving off in his brand new BM
Born for two things: seeing and MC-ing
Fleeing the scene
I don't like the way it looks
Too many tales of businessmen, thugs 'n crooks
Knowledge through rap cd's like modern-day books
A new day 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
And wash it away
No looking back
Here comes a new day now
Y'all noticed
How the empire is falling
Time do replace it
Time to quit stalling
Let the flood come
And wash it away
Do you know what kind of budgets the military gets?
Cash for genocide: do they really give a shit?
It starts at an early age, playing with your boys
Five years old, having guns as toys
Now deprogram
I wish that I could say that I fear no man
But yo, I fear mankind
'cause the man ain't kind
'cause we can't unwind
Plus our talent for destruction
Is the way we shine
And we love confrontation
That's my only explanation
For the fact that we keep recreating
The same situations, the same sensations
Of anguish and pain going throughout these nations
To come to the heart of it
All you need to do is not become part of it
Like 'Fight the system' and '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
And wash it away
No looking back
Here comes a new day now
Y'all noticed
How the empire is falling
Time do replace it
Time to quit stalling
Let the flood come
And wash it away
Only the educated want revolution to come
With the budgets being cut, soon there will be none
With every new wack world leader that comes
It gets harder to get true information
Trying do dumb us down
Won't lay the guns down
Now the sound of the clap
Becomes the soundtrack to apocalypse
While cats is rocking this
Other cats is selling rocks to kids to feed they pockets
Haven't y'all noticed how cash rules everything?
Truly still ruling the hearts of all the men
Every time I really get to stand still
And think I know that y'all too
Have noticed 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
And wash it away
No looking back
Here comes a new day now
Y'all noticed
How the empire is falling
Time do replace it
Time to quit stalling
Let the flood come
And wash it away
I know that you have noticed
How the empire is falling
Time to replace it
Time to quit stalling
Let the flood come
And wash it away
No looking back
Here comes a new day now
Y'all noticed
How the empire is falling
Time do replace it
Time to quit stalling
Let the flood come
And wash it away
