Empire
Education for every nation - Blaze up di fiyah and mash up di empire
Love and truth make the system fail
nuff confusion a put we brain inna jail
invisible shackles and chain cyaan bail
so mi sharpen mi blade and cut the dragon tail
politician dem play we just like a game
x amount of choice but it's all the same
hollywood sacrifice for the price of fame
obsession with celebrity a keep a lead we a stray
you lock up rasta but CIA provide cocaine
manipulate the mind to make it love pain
Dem a gwaan with Lucifer and make it rain
wise people keep sane
Pre-dem a dumb we down
distracted from reality
everything is illusion
and we keep buying fallacy
People stand up, mash up di empire
muss realize seh di devil is a liar
people wake up, mash up di empire
walk through the fire, seek freedom, get higher
people rise up, mash up di empire
revolutionary mind never tired
people light up, mash up di empire
make darkness retire
Society make black man bleach him skin
cyaan see danger but mi see a shark fin
gwaan try your best but cyaan make mi light dim
jah soldier nuh live life inna sin
artificial beauty too thin
bun chemical use herbal medicine
lickle bwoy sell crack fe get car and shiny rim yeah
the rich get richer so more people strugglin' yeah
the bank thief mi money
your pill make me feel sick and a make me gwaan funny
your food keep me hungry, yeah
your school brainwash pickney dem like a dummy
religion keep the world away from me
Pre-dem a dumb we down
distracted from reality
everything is illusion
and we keep buying fallacy
People stand up, mash up di empire
muss realize seh di devil is a liar
people wake up, mash up di empire
walk through the fire, seek freedom, get higher
people rise up, mash up di empire
revolutionary mind never tired
people light up, mash up di empire

I wanna see woman dem respected
but first dem haffi respect dem selves
cause i see nuff pain inflicted
poisoning the water inna well

everyday life we riskin'
schizophrenic world this a sickenin'

People stand up, mash up di empire
muss realize seh di devil is a liar
people wake up, mash up di empire
walk through the fire, seek freedom, get higher
people rise up, mash up di empire
