Last Emperor Echo Leader Lyrics

Echo Leader Lyrics

Verse 1:

Broadcasting live from Ice Station Zebra
I break over beats
made to blow out your speaker
The Jim Morrison of hip hop nice to meet
ya
But where the hell are Rain Man's Eric and Robbie Krieger
The tricks
of the trade get rich and get paid
Launch your career but your flights been
delayed
I slaughter ballers send players to their grave
And I'm takin'
out all you bloodsuckers like Blade (aghh!),
I'm from the city that left the
Liberty Bell cracked,
The Constitution's release party was held at,
Matter
of fact, tell your crew to get the hell back,
Or I'ma eat these cats like at
alien from Mel Mac (hah!),
To all my backpackers, mallrats and
slackers,
Cyber trackers, players, poets and actors,
You wanna know what
it's like to be down with my team?
Like the Centurians, "now we're
extreme!"

[chorus]
Echo Leader One to Echo Leader Two!
We have an
intruder and he's right in front of you!
Echo Leader Two to Echo Leader
One!
I got him in my sights the meltdown has begun!
Freedom fighters in
the street, rock rock on,
If you rockin' to this beat, rock rock
on,
Bring the fire and the heat, rock rock on,
In the face of defeat rock
what?! Rock ON!

Verse 2:

(Hmm…) I've got a suspicious
intuition,
A new day is dawning, so come on and get with it,
Find a more
tactical, practical position,
For these emcees who try to sabotage the
mission,
While some lay it down I carry the sound with me,
I might play
the ground and study who's down with me,
In order for this joint right here
to sound gritty,
We did pre-production in an underground city
(yes!),
Wearing post apocalyptic underground gear,
'Cause we haven't seen
natural sunlight in twelve years,
I gotta sound astronauts can't wait to
hear,
So I speak loud enough to reach Space Station Mir,
We can take it
there in fact, I might order ya,
The direction of rap has gotten
cornier,
It's time to replace the pain with euphoria,
Make the crowd jump
high like Masai Warriors,
I kick back, relax, unwind my true nature,
Catch
wreck like James Bond in Moonraker,
Whether flora, fauna, marsupial or
mammalia,
Test the Last Emp and end up a complete
failure.

[chorus]

Verse 3:

Echo Leader One I'm goin' in
cover me,
So we can make the world bounce like it's rubbery,
I got ivy
league college lovin' me,
Every rhyme I write is like assignment
discovery,
Let me take a few seconds in order to relish,
The good
vibrations from the moment that I felt it,
I knew I'd break mics that are
well bolted and welded,
'Cause I'm hard like takin' off the Juggernaut's
helmet (Hooah!),
I may not be the most muscular of men,
But my songs are
strong with the power to pretend,
My job to defend against any man who
enters,
The stage that I call my urban command center,
I made it
consolidated, with just four bars,
Place your bets and get out your score
card,
My mother always told me to reach for the stars,
Now I got the
first black owned business on Mars,
>From lasers and photons to dragons and
giants (yeah),
The Ackbar, the Dogon, the Aztecs, the Mayans (yeah),
If
obedience is just as old as defiance,
Be an Echo Leader for this Rebel
Alliance!

[chorus]

Echo Leader One, Echo Leader Two
intruder
alert and he's right in front of you.
Echo Leader Two to Echo Leader
One
I got him in my sights the meltdown has begun.
Freedom fighters in
the streets, rock rock on,
If you rockin' to this beat, rock rock
on,
Bring the fire and the heat, rock rock on,
In the face of defeat rock
what? Rock on.
