The Last Emperor Monolith [Emcees The Last Emperor] [Producers Prince Paul] [Verse 1 The Last Emperor] Ill stare into The face of death and the fear thats so obvious Wordplay is the way that I conquer it Chivalrys not dead if the living honor it Ill send a message to men on all continents And this is my imperial decree To whosoever steals material from me The emcee who comes with new abilities In the same manner, King David slew the Philistines Cause, when it comes to emcees, they leave you No choice but to destroy the embodiment of evil Deadly force against the source of upheaval That seems to oppress and bring death to my people The way to defy this death Is to keep kicking rhymes until theres no rhymes left The Emperor takes the form of the giant dread With the body of a man and a lions head In this dense 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 youre looking for the bloodiest battle, youve struck gold From young to old, ripe and then rotten I came to drop bombs like Osama Bin Laden Using poisonous chemicals to shower fools Ravenous animals devour fools Ill build a giant robot to overpower crews Using pens and pencils like power tools A fiftyfoot metal man named Lyricore Will stand up to the bully and hit him in the jaw Cause, when I step in the door, it takes a minute for The Emperor, senator, matador, Minotaur Kicking bitterness to show it aint sweet Whether its a dark cave or the middle of the street Cause the only thing happening the next time we meet Is the thrill of my victory and agony of your defeat
