Verse One]

Being righteous is my career and conflict is just a job risk

No stoppin this when I build rhymes like an Egytptian obalisk

Watch me get down in your Provincetown or populace

Cause my life rhyme is Prime posess the matrix like Optimus

Now you'll get framed like a diploma in your spiritual coma

I'ma black Moor like Othello but I won't die for Desdemona

Older diamond studded mic walk on a stage of solid marble

Leave the flyest MC's startled in ? 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

Your 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 click 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



Chorus:

"Monumental" For mortal men who pretend they never knew me

"Monumental" For these MC's, thinkin that they can do me

"Monumental" For the simple things in life that suit me

The dead ancestors that speak through me "Monumental"

*repeat*



[Verse Two]

Break a one-niner, its 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 campaneros who wreck stone temples like pharaohs

Searchin Americans, La Batista, Ralph Bandalero

The empire builders must construct societies

Thats the difference between my spirit and the man that deceives

The imperial to the masses, imperialistic fashions

Titaniums 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 substitutes nor replacements

I've got a Stargate leading to other dimensions in my basement

Honesty, energies of the mind are designed to empower spaceships

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



Chorus



[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 gave freedom when you surrender

Bend your steel low, 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 overrider this oral tradition

I'ma rather odd man, here to carry out the God's plan

While you try to be larger, I stay camouflaged like Tarzan

I don't rhyme just to cash checks, but to create new aspects

Blacks and Latinos are really, Kemites and Aztecs

Some voices got trouble, some voices got base

The Emperor's got the voice that be all up in your face

Now some MC's drop one single and vanish without a trace

Call me Lord Vader, the baddest black man in outer space

Mechanically rhyme prone, 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't contain me

See I realized that in the mind is where each man

must build his holy temple

Now thats the true meaning of monumental



Chorus
