Empire in Our Veins

Oh, city lights, skyline dreams. We rise from the ground,

we chase our schemes from the Bronx to Queens. We are the

same, got that empire in our veins. Hey, hey,

yeah, oh, hey, oh. Yeah,

I'm from where the corners teach more than the schools do, where the hustle's

in your blood, can't nobody cool you. Subway symphony, still a soul,

from the block to the ballroom we pay that toll. Concrete kingdom,

graffiti on the throne, raised by the rhythm of a dial tone phone.
