Empire Lyrics by Ziggy Ramo

Black Thoughts

2020

Empire, empire, we an empire
Empire, empire, we an empire
Rome has fallen, Babylon too
Aboriginals still here, that's true
We an empire, empire, we an empire
Empire, empire, we an empire
Rome has fallen, Babylon too
But Aboriginals still here, that's true
But Aboriginals still here, that's true
Uh, don't box me as a conscious rapper
If you want to label mе, call me a natural disaster I'ma take hеads and rip shreds off any actor Lad in the lab, I'm a chemical reactor
Matter of fact, I've had enough of all the chatter So in the latter let me clear all the clatter
Let's get down to business of what really matters Black lives splatter all up on the avenue Ain't nothing new, we got nothing to prove Fifty thousand years of proof, we do what it do And to you who choose to move our artifacts
Fuck it, I'm bringin' a bat, yeah, I'm proud to be black Proud of the fact we the oldest people on the map
And they tried to move our history, how fucked up is that? Whites rewrite white lies in the hope the globe don't realize It's a privilege to have our ties
We an empire, so just hold your head high
We survive, yeah, we thrive, we've got nothing to hide
It's black pride, black lives built this country we got black ties
So you know that you come from a long line

Empire, empire, we an empire
Empire, empire, we an empire
Rome has fallen, Babylon too
Aboriginals still here, that's true
We an empire, empire, we an empire
Empire, empire, we an empire
Rome has fallen, Babylon too
But Aboriginals still here, that's true
Sheesh, scared of me, it's scary
Educated black man, I'm a visionary
We rarely vary when they cherrypick our itinerary On the contrary, it's very necessary
To answer arbitrary questions that they bury
In the hopes that they can still carry on
This wary history, hysteria got them throwin' Hail Mary's But beware, we gon' be singin' Swing Low Sweet Chariot I will never stop till we reclaim the top spot What I plot, got these enemies on the trot They ought to rot for what they got caught Tryna pull up, but revenge ain't my mascot
See we been through it all from the summer to the fall But no matter what, we always stand tall
We an empire, so just hold your head high
We survive, yeah, we thrive, we've got nothing to hide It's black pride, black lives built country we got black ties So you know that you come from a long line
Empire, empire, we an empire
Empire, empire, we an empire
Rome has fallen, Babylon too
Aboriginals still here, that's true
We an empire, empire, we an empire
Empire, empire, we an empire
Rome has fallen, Babylon too
But Aboriginals still here, that's true
