Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A bottle of lean, a gun in your jeans
And a little faith in me
A plane in the sky, the only starlight
On this never ending street
The cameras and cops, we could've been stars
On our mothers news screens
On our mothers news screens
[Verse 2]
All of these tribes
And all of these street signs
None of them will be yours or mine
But I'll be your empire
Just stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
[Verse 3]
These colours and flags, the sweat on your back
You're doing what you can
Pride in your hand, a price on your head
You can never let them win
Just put down that bottle, tell me your sorrows
I care about you, fam
I care about you, fam, oh-whoa
[Verse 4]
All of these tribes
And all these street signs
None of them will be yours or mine
But I'll be your empire
Just stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
[Verse 5]
And If they take it all away
Our freedom and our hearts and that glow in your face
I'll remind you who you were before it changed (I'll remind you who you were)
[Verse 6]
All of these tribes
And all of these street signs
None of them will be yours or mine
But I'll be your empire (Your empire)
Just stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
