shmu-el ocho - empire lyrics
[verse 1]
huh, i’m just continuing an empire
my ancestors had the will of straight fire
my grandfather was a chief, leader of a village
he was my father’s father, went by the name of felix
my great-grandpa, the man was a warrior
wasn’t afraid of k!lling people in tribal war
my dad was the first in his family to go to college
throughout his life he had an endless search for knowledge
now i’ve been fighting, too, trying to get through life, i’ve been through my fair share of strife
i no longer have a father in the house, becoming a man without my old man is what it’s all about
now i’m asking for a little divine blessing, ‘cause so many things are putting me under the test
i only wish myself the best, cuz as i cruise through life i don’t know what’s coming next
[hook] (twice)
i’m a king, i know you all see me
you’re praying to god, you really want to be me
with little effort i write bars of straight heat
you must be dreaming if you really think i can be beat
[verse 2]
feel the rage and the thunder
if you don’t like the truth, then run to your mother
musical prodigy and i’m only in my youth
i murder my enemies without stepping out of the booth
i’ll be worthy enough to be driving a benz, you all will be lucky if you ever make meeting of ends
if a wack rapper tried to step into my shoes, the size would be oversize, fool
i’ve spent much of my life feeling a little lonely
but i’m the best of me
i’m the one and only shmu-el, if you ain’t feeling the struggle then you should get out of here, i’m dope, it ain’t hard to tell
i’ve been through a lot of it
but my family has a history of survivorship
to all my peoples hanging out in nigeria
we don’t fear nothing but the godly experience
[hook] (twice)
[interlude]
(woo!) shmu-el ocho, don’t forget
i’m enjoying this right here
yup
you hear the organ in the background?
rest in peace to my father
(woo!) let’s go (ha-ha!)
[bridge]
i’m just here to grab a couple o’ grand, a couple o’ mil, a couple o’ bil, then i get outta here
riding in my new benz, just counted all my tens, all this money add up to over a million
i don’t wanna look back, naw, i’m looking forward
the future isn’t hanging back, we headed straight for it
this is coming straight from the heart of a tortured soul
this is how i wanna roll!
[hook](twice)
the show’s over. peace out!
thank you, ryan, for finding these loops, bruh
ocho family represent
cincinnati represent
real hip-hop represent
