Empire State ft. Esben ES Thornhal & AJ JONEZ Lyrics

Steer hip hop out the illusion

Be the solution but they think I have delusions

Paralyzed in a junkie paradise

Quick to play the same cards always rolling the dice

I could of been a coke boy off the rip

Papa caught a bid told me never flip a brick

Never trade respect for the attention ya get

Why be a dog in heaven clean yourself up like a vet

Couple knuckle heads tried to sting me for my cash

I got a text from my ex I hope ya plane crash

Burned so many bridges can't look back at my past

Hoping time is on my side and that this life last

Empire State mind so I stand tall

Can't nobody knock me down I will never fall

Play that field from Sunday to Sunday

County of da kings word to Barclays

Empire State mind so I stand tall

Can't nobody knock me down I will never fall

Play that field from Sunday to Sunday

County of da kings word to Barclays

Presence is biblical more spiritual in physical

When my pencil moves my scriptures turn to interludes

They wonder how I do it if Im really bluffing

My killer sequence to indecent for public discussion

Im tryna fit the pieces right

Write the type of ish the fiends delight

Deemed us right left the city now yeh scene is bright

And all I pray is that my story is released before my after life.

Roaming hemispheres tryna find reality.

Tragically it's only bound by casualties.

That antidote from the rodeo suckers get hit with rope a dopes I'm floating like the Holy Ghost

More Rocky than the statue

Stinging like a bee tattooed women are a taboo

Ohh

But we to young for the sorrows

Rather drink out troubles and forget about tomorrow

Empire State mind so I stand tall

Can't nobody knock me down I will never fall

Play that field from Sunday to Sunday

County of da kings word to Barclays

Empire State mind so I stand tall

Can't nobody knock me down I will never fall

Play that field from Sunday to Sunday

County of da kings word to Barclays

Piercing souls defeating foes

Music controls the deadly woes

Bleed on beats become a pro

Make it up in America they never wanna see you grow

Piercing souls defeating foes

Music controls the deadly woes

Bleed on beats become a pro

Make it up in America they never wanna see you grow

From a city whereby can't trust nobody

From a city where you can't love nobody

Even Romeos queen was damned

Sharks in the water rock the boat but are you that somebody

Empire State mind so I stand tall

Can't nobody knock me down I will never fall

Play that field from Sunday to Sunday

County of da kings word to Barclays

Empire State mind so I stand tall

Can't nobody knock me down I will never fall

Play that field from Sunday to Sunday

County of da kings word to Barclays
