Last Emperor Monolith Lyrics

Monolith Lyrics

[Verse 1]



I stare into the face of death



and the fear that's so obvious



wordplay is the way that I conquer it



shivalry's not dead if the living honor it



i send a message to men on all continents



and this is my imperial decree



to who so ever steals material from me



the emcee who comes with new abilities



and the same man in king david luther's philistines



cuz when it comes to emcees they leave you



no choice but to destroy the embodiment of evil



deadly force against the source of upheavel, that seems to



oppress and bring death to my people



the way to defy this death



is to keep kicking rhymes until there's no rhymes left



the emperor takes the form of the giant dredd



with the body of a man, and a lion's head



and this dence urban jungle of great disorder



cd players, turntables and tape recorders



become the tools that I use to erase the borders



between me and the secret and ancient order



that I swore to protect and uphold



if you're looking for the bloodiest battle, you've struck gold



from young to old, ripe and then rotten



i came to drop bombs like osama bin laden



using poisonious chemicles to shower fools



ravenous animals devour fools



i build a giant robot to overpower crews



using pens and pencils like power tools



a fifty-foot metal man, named lyricore



will stand up to the bully and hit him in the jaw



cuz when I step in the door



it takes a minute for the emperor, senator, madator, minitor



kicking bitterness to show it ain't sweet



whether it's a dark cave, or the middle of the street



cuz the only thing happening the next time we meet



is the thrill of my victory and agony of your defeat (echoes)
