Egypt, 50 centuries ago
When her culture and civilisation flourished in a setting of unequal pump and grandeur
When her proud legions had conquered all the world and plundered it’s treasure
To feed the insatiable ambitions of the greatest of all Pharaohs
(Hook)
From the ground he rose
To reclaim a kingdom that for years he owned
Many come many go, one thing they know
That only one can rule, the one they call Pharaoh
(Verse)
Microphone check we breakin’ necks up in your section
Turnin’ heads in our direction, man keep thinking we pretendin’
I’m back like I never left, oh wait I never did
Even after they wrap me up, this rap forever lives
The fakeness multiplying so I gotta mummify ‘em
Fake rulers all complying to the rules the powers tryin’
Sittin’ and wishin’ man as the clock was steady tickin’
While it's tickin & tockin man I'm just sittin and plottin
Just perfecting my craft, see man the young dude he rhymin’
Until he leads a Dynasty just like a young Tutankhamen
Uh, my reign without a doubt man they will try diminish
In my past life, probably writin’ rhymes in hieroglyphics
Now we in the afterlife, bury me with my discography
Put a mic in my palm and shelter me from the hypocrisy
My sound, won't dumb it down like these clowns in the public now
I keep it womb to the tomb, that's why it's underground
(Hook)
(Outro)
Many kings have come and gone
Many Dynasty’s rose up and shone
Now a new light shall come and shine
A New Dynasty’s reign arrives
