(Chorus) (Last Emperor)Over and over and over and over again nowOver and over and over and over again now(Over again)Over and over and over and over again now(For all the women and men)Over and over and over and over again now(Here we go again)[Verse 1]He was a fly young cat, 23 to be exactReady to conquer the world fresh out of the packComes from a small town, wrong side of the tracksBut somehow, he managed to slip through the cracksHe writes rhymes to escape what was awful and evilWalks a fine line between lawful and legalSeen a lot of bad times, there's a lot of good in himBeen around the world and still got the hood in himIf he carried a tech, would you call him a schemer?If he sounds far fetched, would you call him a dreamer?Stays true to himself, so he's not a deceiverHe found a lifetime job of making you a believerEvery now and then he would stare into spaceAnd maybe think about if he had what it takesHe thinks about the hood and why he had to escapeLetras de cancionesAnd the family he left in that desolate placeIt could be you or me or any manDriving a sports car or a mini vanThese are the aspirations of certain menWho leave the neighborhood only to return againCome on(Chorus) (Last Emperor)Over and over and over and over again now(I know life around the way is hard)Over and over and over and over again now(You got a family, they need you God)Over and over and over and over again now(The aspirations of certain men)Over and over and over and over again now(Leave the neighborhood only to return again)[Verse 2]She was a sweet young thing, tender age of 20Comes from a poor family with no moneyTwo children of her own, she never let them go hungryThere she is, all right you go honeyEarly in life she had a chance to winBut she chose to put her future in the hands of menEver since her first love she was sure she could handle itBut in the end all she got was abandonmentOver and over again they seem to use herFrom jerk to creep and from creep to loserCome on mami, who would treat you like a friend?You need somebody, when will the cycle end?Another break up, you don't really love him girlYou better wake up; you're in trouble girlBut in her dreams she's a queen in another worldEasy, breezy, beautiful, cover girlOn the runway to Mr. Lover Man's charmsShe breaks away from Mr. Lover Man's armsAnd just when she was sure she had enough of menShe turns around and falls in love againCome on(Chorus) (Last Emperor)Over and over and over and over again now(Damn girl, why you got to go though this?)Over and over and over and over again now(I watch her stand there emotionless)Over and over and over and over again now(When nobody else noticed it)Over and over and over and over again now(Ooh, the sad songs from the vocalist)Please embrace these storiesThat have been placed before meFrom hatred comes warringFrom goodness must come gloryWhat is it I wonderSome honor, some conquerDifferent day, same dramaRemember it is karma[Verse 3]There's an old gray couple living right upstairsMid seventies, seemingly no caresAlways seem happy I can only guess whyCause they barely getting by off the SSI (Hah)Over the years their love affair grewIt was meant to be and some how they both knewHe said pray for me and I'll return to youShe waited faithfully during World War IIIt was a hard time for a young couple just marriedBut they held on to the love they both carriedShe read his letters telling her to stay strongAnd on the phonograph played their favorite song (Yeah)There were times they thought their love wouldn't make itBut like that old record, hard times couldn't break itAn old dusty record that they still hold sacredAnd every anniversary I still here them play itYeah(Chorus) (Last Emperor)Over and over and over and over again now(It was an old love affair)Over and over and over and over again now(Stand strong and they take it there)Over and over and over and over again now(Yes yes y'all)Over and over and over and over again now(We turn around and one day it's gone, come on)Over and over and over and over again now(I see you staying there)Over and over and over and over again now(Some times you got to take it there) From Letras Mania
