letra de monumental - the last emperor

[verse one]
being righteous is my career and conflict is just a job risk
no stoppin’ this when i build rhymes like an egyptian obelisk
watch me get down in your province, town or populace
and my life-rhyme is prime, posess the matrix like optimus
now you’ll get framed like a diploma in your spiritual coma
i’mma black moor like oth-llo, but i won’t die for desdemona
own a diamond-studded mic, walk on a stage of solid marble
leave the flyest mcs startled and yell “shazaam!” like captain marvel
are you aware of the fact that i left mankind devastated?
and they still look for the blueprints of the monuments that i’ve created
see the gods live, don’t compare my hard drive to your floppy disk
chicago to gotham city, new york to metropolis
from city streets to athens, greece from the pyramids to the acropolis
my final resting place will be a solid gold sarcophagus
but what i can’t understand is how these foolish humans use the mic to their advantage
and get lost like the city of atlantis
you’re a long way from kansas, and this is more than just black chrome
you gotta be fresh, yes, and never talk in no wack tone
’cause once i got you in my attack zone
you could cl!ck your heels three times like dorothy
and couldn’t get back home
so, drop the mic and save those wack rhymes for later
’cause my battles leave more broken arrows than christian slater
“may the force be with you”
it’s true nothing in life is coincidental
the emperor is monumental

[hook: repeat 2x]
“monumental” for mortal men who pretend they never knew me
“monumental” for these mcs thinkin’ that they can do me
“monumental” for the simple things in life that suit me
the dead ancestors that speak through me “monumental”

[verse two]
break a one-niner, it’s the democratic socialist rhymer
on stage i keep out invaders like the great wall of china
my style transcends where the divine starts and man ends
understand friends, colleagues, comrades, companions
los campañeros who wreck stone temples like pharaohs
central-american zapatista, ruff bandalero
the empire builders must construct societies
that’s the difference between my spirit and the man that deceives
the individual to the m-sses, imperialists and fascists
t-taniums and plastics, alkalines and acids
from the cradle to the casket, fantastic stories are told
stolen maps are sold leading to hidden cities of gold
hold your ancient artform sacred, let not the 85 forsake it
hitler’s armies saw it in 1945 and tried to take it
infiltrate it and break it, no subst-tutes nor replacements
i’ve got a stargate leading to other dimensions in my bas-m-nt
harness the energies of the mind to design thought-powered sp-ceships
my crew builds on politial science and international relations
feed off sunlight when the earth grows void of vegetation
attack the u.n. like the klingons did the united federation
fully operational, mobile, global and intercontinental
the emperor is truly monumental

[hook]

[verse three]
when worlds collide and are destroyed by earthquakes and tremors
what i build serves as a culture for generations to remember
from the cold-hearted to the tender, any ethnicity or gender
slaves to a higher power, you gain freedom when you surrender
bend your steelo, save that gangster talk for quentin tarantino
i gets deeper than those 20,000 leagues on captain nemo’s
so, abort the mission or get played out of position
never let technology override this oral tradition
i’m a rather odd man, here to carry out the god’s plan
while you try to be large, i stay camouflaged like zartan
i don’t rhyme just to cash checks, but to create new aspects
blacks and latinos are really, kemites and aztecs
some voices got treble, some voices got b-ss
the emperor’s got the voice that be all up in your face
now some mcs drop one single and vanish without a trace
call me lord vader, the baddest black man in outer sp-ce
mechanically rhyme pr-ne, any mc or time zone
hard rock get broken up into small pieces of limestone
to put it plainly modern forms of psychology can’t explain me
there’s no man-made religion that can contain me
see i realized that in the mind is where each man
must build his holy temple
now that’s the true meaning of monumental

[hook]
