Last Emperor The One Lyrics

The One Lyrics

f/ RZA







* also known as "He Lives"; originally from "Lyricist Lounge
Vol. 2"







[RZA] 



Turn my FUCKIN headphones up! 



Aiyyo nurse, bring the patient in, strap him down 



Inject the serum into the tip of his cerebelum 



70 cc's of denji should brain-accel him 



Nurse, increase the IV 



(But doc that may kill him!) 



Word, we got technology, we can rebuild him 



Strength of the ox, slickness of the fox 



Electrical brain waves being charged by the dreadlocks 



Audio dynamic vocal box 



Inside the black oval, won't be a beat that my son couldn't flow to 



Call Prince Paul to inject De La Soulful 



(Doc, his heart is beating too fast!) 



Nurse I told you! 



Decrease the brain battery, more gamma to the chest cavity 



Put the DNA code in every farrel inhis anatomy 



Heart of the conquerers, fighting force like Joe Blanca 



Interscope will never be the same, we just created a MONSTER! 







[Last Emperor] 



A mysterious man with a mysterious past 



Who came back from the dead to kick some serious ass 



I clearance a path, blast glocks, raps whatever 



RZA put my DNA blocks back together 



And conducted, something interpenetrable by heaters 



Made from the world's great Ancient leaders 



Rzarector, I wanna thank you for giving me 



A second chance at life, you've uprisen me 



To separate the wise art from the wizardry 



And take revenge on those who imprison me 



In the East, the location was well-hidden 



My corpse was torn, rotted, bullet-ridden 



There's still an after tast from the poison I was given 



(Last Emperor) 



Yes master, what is thy bidding? 







[RZA] 



Go barbarian like thunder 



I'll wrap these niggas up like mummra 



Off of guitar samples of Prince Paul mixed with Sun-Ra 



Scatter to the four corners 



Make these bitch rappers MOURNERS 



Let em know son, they time of God is upon us 



And if they try to form a challenge throw em off balance 







[Last Emperor] 



I snatch the mic with my talons 



Prepare to meet this challenge 



Break the sacred seal and release these ancient talents 



I ride the track and leave MC's fully damaged 



Like Hannibal on the back of a black wooly mammoth 



I was banished, they panicked that the words that I said 



I split backs wit the war axe of Eric the Red 



Until I get tax exemption, redemption from cruel people 



The Last Emperor but I'm not Hiro Hitu 



More like Manson Musa 



You don't get the chance to use a 



Primative weapon on this microphone stand abuser 



Should you choose ta whip out the banger 



This archaic warrior responds with anger 



I stop fighter planes before they even leave their hangars 



And I'm sick enough to pull a con/Kahn job like Genghis 



I weave tales of war, legend and folklore 



Things will never be as they were once before 



Witness the second coming of the Last Emperor 



For now and forever, cursed to walk the earth once more
