[the last emperor]

Everybody come with me lets take a ride

Turn the system up loud let it amplify

Look around at the town and let the sounds lead you

Everywhere i see the remice of a proud people

Where little girls find their way in the world through mama

And little guys see the world through the eyes of fathers

Everybody wanna learn i to earn a dollar

We know there's more to the hood than urban squallor

Now i don't need to take up ya time

But i just wanted to know what's on ya mind

Whether work is hard to find unemployment line

Or got a job or ya blind doin' overtime

Don't be ashamed you got ya pride

To maintain after the rain the sun will shine

There will be better whether for everyone

Though we all move to the beat of a different drum

Passin' the time in a popular way

Like otis redding sitting at the dock of the bay

I got a long way on this road but hey

I take pride in the fact that i'm alive today

[chorus: the last emperor]

Everybody on the east side c'mon let me know that you got ya pride

Everybody on the west side c'mon let me know that you got ya pride

Everybody on the north side c'mon y'all show me you got ya pride

And everybody on the south side c'mon let me know that you got ya pride

[the last emperor]

Summertime the heat is hot will i ever reach the top

Yo it's time to leave the block finish my tequila shot

Mellow but sober when i'm in the car

So i can ride to the rhythm of the guitar

I hear the music i'm prepared to follow

The body overcomes the city of el dorado

Mexican city that's paved of gold

Made sacred by the ancients in days of old

Brown pride they got it down to a science

That's right old metz aztecs and rions

Combined with colours of a tapestry

Yeah i hear my brown brothers hollarin back of me

From freedom fighters to the band deleroes

To the old man wearin' the tan sanbrero

From the food in the music that's la fiesta

To the afternoon nap thats la siesta

"never venture out the hood" is what some people say

But i love it to much to ever keep away

Beautiful brown people in the streets today

Who show me love when i'm drivin' through easter lane

And they say..

[chorus]

[the last emperor]

They got you to rock to a slower groove

I hope you like all the things that i'm showin' you

It's all good every hood that i'm rollin' through

Ya might not notice me but i notice you

Livin' your life through poverty i see smiles for as long as the eye can see

I'm proud of y'all and i hope that your proud of me

God bless the child who runs wild and free

City to city and town to town

I can see alot of pride as i drive arouund

Hold ya heads up high when ya feelin' down

Remember y'all we gotta stand tall and proud

[chorus]
