boom boom boom boom
empire cast
from the gutter to the shutter
nothing less than the best
from the bottom i started
so it's nothing that you can say to me
a product of where i grew up
and it's the newest slavery
people see you trying hard
like why you wanna play with me
somebody better pray for me
cause all i know is this money
these suicidal thoughts getting bad
they say the good die young
i put the peddle to the medal hit the gas then i'm gone
now i'm front line at the court
and i'm 'bout to take a shot
now i'm watching for the back board
and when they say the world is yours
that i'm just trynna score
if you ever been through it
then i'm knowing you gotta feel it
you witnessing the struggle from the realest
but they created a monster
i'm beating down your block
(you was over there talking all kinds of tough
while you sipping on your little bit of pick me up"
