Lyrics: DMc

--------------------------------

I built my empire,

they gave me my crown

now they want to take me down

take me down.

Running through the undergrowth,

teeth bared like a wild beast

crown cracked,

ain't no peace, on my throne.

Pale moon whispers,

my dirty secrets exposed.

I'm the talk on the streets now

everyone knows.

Shattered crown, guns and lies

brought around, my demise.

King of the lost, king with rotten ties.

built my empire from

the underground.

Tempers rise, no hiding from

hiders in disguise, smile to your

face, hands will now erase

the deeds, dirty deeds I now

face.

Eyes bloodshot, the devils, chase

a devil, put a blade in my back,

in the dark black.

I built my empire,

they gave me my crown

now they want to take me down

take me down.

Echoes surround my inner court

monies hidden, blueprints sought.

they don't fear my crown.

Etched with greed so severe

soon

I won't be here.

Shattered crown, guns and lies

brought around, my demise

king of the lost, king with rotten ties

built my empire from

the underground.

I built my empire,

they gave me my crown

now they want to take me down

me and my shattered crown.
