XXXIX Empire
Egypt+ (NoTimeToMix&OneTake)
For Phife Dawg
Never phased like a New York City pigeon
Not taking my life was life’s greatest decision
Broke or rich, I’m always making a living
Social number’s low; I dismiss the long division
I still chisel to manifest my vision
Non creative’s throw me advice but I’m not pitching
You turn tables that make me scratch my head when I’m not itching
Some of yall worst than these bullshit politicians
It ain’t where you’re from its where you at
But really the only place you at is when you fishing through your mentions
We all one, we all God, still divide skin tone, language, culture, politics and religion
Give us one more reason for blood shed
Can’t breathe with negative flooding above head
But either way the Sun gon’ shine, the Sun gon’ shine
Don’t let Donald J Trump run yall lives
Don’t let Mrs. Hilary run yall lives
And don’t Senator Sanders run yall lives
I got gas in the vape to keep from me spazzing out
Not a whole lot of people know what Maxx about
Put your assumption down on the coaster
Brain frame merry go round and roller coaster
I don’t pray, I meditate and perform in front of my posters
So when the microphone calls I’m the host of it
You can ask Shawnee Jay about support
Ask Lawrence Turner bout taking rappers to court
I feel the pain of Tommi Truthz
No emotions left hanging; no limits to cut short
The heart that beats in my rib cage screams leader
When I…fuck one more time
The heart that beats in my rib cage screams leader
When I get in my feelings yo thats just a misdemeanor
I’ve tried so many times to find a Queen
How ironic is it that I’m so stuck missing Rejeana
Ask Ms. Black how to ride or die
Writing music closest I get to cry a silent eye
Rap songs laid and tracked at any moment
Bumping too much 2 Pac to give a fuck about a time to die
Afraid not I am, of my cipher fear is out
Spit a rhyme, that’s the only way they hear me out
That’s when they really care, no I disagree
To me you looking scared, I can fill you with full relief
Hate doesn’t charge me, doubt barley do
“You’re not doing so great” yeah, compared to who?
I ran the whole tour; touched people with my art
Cuz superstars burn out with one spark
I lost sleep, weight and money. But this the start
This is God; you can never ever tear us apart
Understand the real message of the Empire
I’ve been tired, been fired, extended higher
But this for Kool Kid, Clinton…damn one more time, I ain’t stopping
But this for Kool Kid, Clinton. My homeboys Devin and Dar
Heaven we share, trienta y nueve
This for Brandon who birthed his son and lost his Tio
In the same month man, this is for Punisher, this for Rios
Quincy Jones and Nas in my spirit
My mother met them both and passed along the torch so I can clear it
This for everybody under the sun’s rays
This for Egypt. Thank You
This for Miss Kami, for Conflict and for Mimi
For Skee, Underrated Mindz, trust and believe me
This a message to turn off your fucking TV
Pick up a book and explore dimensions’ of true knowledge
And in the case that my shit is way too long and hard for you to fit in your mind then you can go ahead get off the Pee Pee
This a freebee
Allow yourself to be free
1-2-3
GOD
Mind Soul Body
Peace love and happiness
And with that I say Peace G
(Jimmy Carter)
Peace to Psychedelic R&B
The Sun King is releasing four LPs this year
And here’s a rough version
Of something not even on them
BRING IT!
(The Sun King)
We all are one
One all is we
That is the key
Know you
Can you provide something alive?
Hold on it too
So strong
Feel as you will feel
Come to the throne
Come to the throne
And cee
What you so appeal
It is so real
Understand and know
Be wise
No more playing games
That is a shame
This is our time
Peace and love
