Last Emperor - Bums lyrics
[Verse One] 
 Being righteous is my career and conflict is just a job risk 
 No stoppin this when I build rhymes like an Egytptian obalisk 
 Watch me get down in your Provincetown or populace 
 Cause my life rhyme is Prime posess the matrix like Optimus 
 Now you'll get framed like a diploma in your spiritual coma 
 I'ma black Moor like Othello but I won't die for Desdemona 
 Older diamond studded mic walk on a stage of solid marble 
 Leave the flyest MC's startled in ? like Captain Marvel 
 Are you, aware of the fact that I left mankind devastated? 
 And they still look for the blueprints 
 of the monuments that I've created 
 See the Gods live, don't compare my hard drive to your floppy disk 
 Chicago to Gotham City, New York to Metropolis 
 From city streets to Athens, Greece from the pyramids to the Acropolis 
 My final resting place will be a solid gold sarcophagus 
 But what I can't understand is how these foolish humans 
 use the mic to their advantage 
 And get lost like the City of Atlantis 
 Your a long way from Kansas, and this is more than just black chrome 
 You gotta be fresh, yes, and never talk in no wack tone 
 Cause once I got you in my attack zone 
 You could click your heels three times like Dorothy 
 and couldn't get back home 
 So, drop the mic and save those wack rhymes for later 
 Cause my battles leave more Broken Arrows than Christian Slater 
 "May the, force be with you" 
 It's true nothing in life is coincidental 
 The Emperor is monumental 
 Chorus: 
 "Monumental" For mortal men who pretend they never knew me 
 "Monumental" For these MC's, thinkin that they can do me 
 "Monumental" For the simple things in life that suit me 
 The dead ancestors that speak through me "Monumental" 
 *repeat* 
 [Verse Two] 
 Break a one-niner, its the democratic socialist rhymer 
 On stage I keep out invaders like the Great Wall of China 
 My style transcends where the divine starts and man ends 
 Understand friends, colleagues, comrades, companions 
 Los campaneros who wreck stone temples like pharaohs 
 Searchin Americans, La Batista, Ralph Bandalero 
 The empire builders must construct societies Last Emperor - Bums - http://motolyrics.com/last-emperor/bums-lyrics.html
 Thats the difference between my spirit and the man that deceives 
 The imperial to the masses, imperialistic fashions 
 Titaniums and plastics, alkalines and acids 
 From the cradle to the casket fantastic stories are told 
 Stolen maps are sold leading to hidden cities of gold 
 Hold your ancient artform sacred, let not the 85(%) forsake it 
 Hitler's armies saw it in 1945 and tried to take it 
 Infiltrate it and break it, no substitutes nor replacements 
 I've got a Stargate leading to other dimensions in my basement 
 Honesty, energies of the mind are designed to empower spaceships 
 My crew builds on politial science and international relations 
 Feed off sunlight when the Earth grows void of vegetation 
 Attack the U.N. like the Klingons did the United Federation 
 Fully operational, mobile, global and intercontinental 
 The Emperor is truly monumental 
Chorus
 [Verse Three] 
 When worlds collide and are destroyed by earthquakes and tremors 
 What I build serves as a culture for generations to remember 
 From the cold-hearted to the tender, any ethnicity or gender 
 Slaves to a higher power, you gave freedom when you surrender 
 Bend your steel low, save that gangster talk for Quentin Tarantino 
 I gets deeper than those 20,000 Leagues on Captain Nemo's 
 So, abort the mission or get played out of position 
 Never let technology overrider this oral tradition 
 I'ma rather odd man, here to carry out the God's plan 
 While you try to be larger, I stay camouflaged like Tarzan 
 I don't rhyme just to cash checks, but to create new aspects 
 Blacks and Latinos are really, Kemites and Aztecs 
 Some voices got trouble, some voices got base 
 The Emperor's got the voice that be all up in your face 
 Now some MC's drop one single and vanish without a trace 
 Call me Lord Vader, the baddest black man in outer space 
 Mechanically rhyme prone, any MC or time zone 
 Hard rock get broken up into small pieces of limestone 
 To put it plainly modern forms of psychology can't explain me 
 There's no man-made religion that can't contain me 
 See I realized that in the mind is where each man 
 must build his holy temple 
 Now thats the true meaning of monumental 
Chorus
