Lyrics

Empires Die and Life Evolves
So were here for the ride and we hear the call
cuz the world wasn’t designed for our kind
yo we never fit in those boxes or descriptions
But yo we found each other and I’m grateful for that
So Fuck The Empire and Fuck The Elites!
We Gone Rise like yeast through the belly of the beast
take to the streets
or at least have each other to seek
shelter from the storm
cuz it’s cold outside and we all need warmth
So when the towers fall we will be here
to heal and rebuild
we are made from the stars
our life is precious
yet they treat us like peasants
I see your royalty and give you my loyalty
livin in a system
where some work for tips and
some own the business
and some hate each other
because of skin color
it’s just not fair
if you try to change things
if you live for a cause
you will pay the cost
because they will marginalize criticize
minimize criminalize
they will kill you
call you crazy
and make you pay
while a warrior for freedom’s receiving no wage.


Well my friend you paid it the price of righteousness
now look at what you bought freedom
something for the people to believe in
so even when grieven were still going to raise a fist
but yo were not afraid to let the tears slip
In love and in rage we promise to persist
through the fear and the pain the fog and the hate
a terrible mix look at what it creates
more of the same yet were working for a change
so this I know only love breaks the chains
but that’s easier said than done when you’ve been harrassed
until you feel the need to carry a gun
than that becomes the reason your killed anyway
So I’ll say it again Fuck This Empire
It’s scary how with the fear and the pain
in one quick moment everything can change
that you can be murdered
your life can be taken away
But it’s all for revolution right?
Aint that what we say
for people like us
in this game that we play
So in trust may you leave
the shores of this reality
and in love may you find
your next destination on this cosmic journey
So just know the garden will continue to grow
and I love you yo
