Messages - Messages from the Empire Verse: Why can’t I get you out of my head? Why is it I dream of words you’ve never said? Why can’t I just let go of the fact You’re never gonna feel me like that? (feel me like that?) Where can I go when these roads lead to ruin? And what can I swallow to make me forget you? And what will it take to get to a place That will make me have no reaction to your face? What is this race, and why am I running? Why the sudden rush? Your speed’s unbecoming Of a person like you, of a monster like me I guess in the end, this was all make-believe Chorus: Seven seconds on the call, I threw m’phone way down the hall. ‘N Even though I explain the pain, The messages get lost again. Eleven seconds at the bar, I saw you standing from afar. ‘N even though I drain the pain, The messages get lost again. Thirty seconds from the bar, I saw you swerve then crash your car, ‘N even though I feel your pain your messages get lost again. Forty Minutes from the crash I saw your memories turn to ash, ‘N even though I share the pain, your messages get lost again. One long year before the fall, you were the friend I liked to call, ‘N even though I hide the pain, your messages get lost again. One long year before the fall, you were the friend I liked to call, ‘N even though I hide the pain I wanna hear your voice again.

Joe: I found myself in the lowest state and this I cannot over-state when the doctors began to operate my body began to compensate found myself with a talent or two found myself with a power I knew not only came with a responsibility but came with the need to prove that I alone could save this Earth that in time I could make this work if the ends justify the means a nice guy could learn to finish first and with the birth of strength and speed I am the first of a whole new breed Humanity, fear not for your need for a hero ends with me, you're free. John(Joe): Pent up, too long This town, needs dawn(You're Free) rising, over Gotham's shoulder(You're Free) Here I, Step on Their a- gression(You're Free) while I, lead my revo-lution(You're Free) John: I saw justice bleeding slowing you just stood there waiting for me I can stop this madman's manifest destiny, if you can believe. John(Joe): Pent up, too long This town, needs dawn(Believe) rising, over Gotham's shoulder(In Me) Here I, Step on Their a- gression(Believe) while I, lead my revo-lution(In Me) Joe: Villains will learn to fear the Name, of the vigilante who conquered and came, and turned around to rescue the dame who's damsel in distress that would not be in vain I'll put the P in pain, and start to tame the dredges of society until the stains thats soiled this city in soot for so long come out and sever the unbreakable chain call me the J-Train, next stop is Hell which for you good sir is a tiny little cell in a prison on an island overlooking New York Enjoy your retirement, I wish you well. John(Joe): Pent up, too long This town, needs dawn(Believe) rising, over Gotham's shoulder(In Me) Here I, Step on Their a- gression(Believe) while I, lead my revo-lution(In Me)

Here I am, another kid looking to inspire Coming through your speakers, living intertwined with the fucking wires My words are electrical, carried by my flow Like a current, I apologize if your sub-woofer’s blow Like your girl at the show, yes, I am a dick Nice to meetcha, I assume this is your wick, check this spit As I light you up on a day-to-day basis Your comeback’s seem to be in a state of stasis Off to the races! I often change faces and go undercovers With ladies who are too willing to journey and discover The true nature of the beast that lays within me J M A D, the true essence of blasphemy (and envy) So let us kickstart, these corpses get ‘em up get ’em up get ’em listenin’ So let’s remark, these verses get ‘em up get ‘em up get ‘em spittin’ So let‘s restart, reverse this get ‘em up get ‘em up get ‘em swingin’ So let‘s depart, this service get ‘em out get ‘em out in hurses Ive been fightin, Revisin all the notes i was writtin since i was a tyke with a mic it was plastic but now im plugged in and im back in the Game, flowin killtackular flame Yall some zombies and mah music is brains with no legs. ha ha Eat it up, 219. let it rip with the rhyme im in my element this text is intelligent Design is irrelevant but tell em this The messagers comin up with that empirial spit Hittin the streets like fuckin revere whether ya far or near, staight or queer Black or white , equal rights say goodnight. the blind hatred of our past generations we traded slaves and racists and as one brought up ourselves to be gratious Yall faker haters can be greatful i'm bashin flows instead dumb founded faces i leave um without tha traces. So let us kickstart, these corpses get ‘em up get ’em up get ’em listenin’ So let’s remark, these verses get ‘em up get ‘em up get ‘em spittin’ So let‘s restart, reverse this get ‘em up get ‘em up get ‘em swingin’ So let‘s depart, this service get ‘em out get ‘em out in hurses get ‘em out get ‘em out in hurses get ‘em out get ‘em out in hurses get ‘em out get ‘em out in hurses
