[Verse 1: Bas-1]

Okay, there's anger, I can sense the danger, another bomber leaves the hangar

Who's the arranger of this particular war?

It's the United Nations, United States government protecting the interests of their Pacific sanctions

So many situations, it's 1941, Hitler still exists

He's concentrating on the Jews, Hawaii is subdued on the crew's circumstances

As World War Two advances technology enhances weaponry

The creation of thе atom bomb

Who the fuck to drop it on?

Japan, the only non-European, human bеings in Honolulu fleeing

The world is in awe people don't believe what they seeing, it's ill

The Brits controlled by William Churchill, Japan by Hideki Tojo

Italy by Bonito Mussolini, U.S. by Harry Truman

Hitler in Germany turning the history

To a blank page, fill it with human tissue, December 7th, and you can check the issue

Discuss it with your grand mommy, out like a pilot on a mission of fucking Kamikaze!


[Verse 2: Shing02]

1941, Japanese soldier, engaging in battle, perfect composure

Clandestine overnight operation, the final destination, Pearl Harbor

Flying through the night, high visibility the sky is clear, everything in sight

Can you hear the turbulence? Can you feel my heartbeat?

Yo, I'm a lone pilot, equipped with the Zero, in my motherland, they honor me as a hero

But I still got my mother's picture in a locket, 'cause there's nobody else up in the cockpit

I glance at the panel and the readings are normal, check the radar, radio detection and ranging

My section is changing, the crew is coming kamikaze, direct translation, divine intervention

My squadron comprises an aerial torpedo, I've been taught I'm attacking for Emperor Hirohito

I was raised 22 years so I could serve my one and only country, the empirical army

We flew down from the west side of the mountains, the harbor below containing the target fleet

Arizona, Oklahoma, Maryland and California, total devastation burned onto my cornea

I'm dropping bombs on American soil, my blood is getting so heated, it's ready to boil

And evaporate like the history behind us, to remind us not to forfeit the memories

And yes, I do remember the 7th day of December, being patriotic in an idiotic war

Now what the hell was I fighting for?


[Chorus: Shing02]

The mic is so hot, I turn coal into diamonds and pearls

I harbor no pain but the flow still remains

Yo, I can't fight the blood in my veins

The mic is so hot, I turn coal into diamonds and pearls

I harbor no pain but the flow still remains

Yo, I can't fight the blood in my veins


[Verse 3: Shing02]

1998, Japanese MC engaging in battle, perfect composure

Forget the path of overnight sensations, the final destination, world conquer

Rhyming through the night, high lyrical ability, trailblazing clearing everything in sight

Can you hear the bass? Can feel the drums?

Yo, I'm a lone artist building up from zero, with my other hand trying to grab that dinero

I grab the microphone so that I could rock it, battle drills taught me that I got shit in my cockpit

We throw it down on the west side of the nations, the U.S and Japan now bringing you the beat

I was on a mission to come to California, rip the mic while other MCs turn cornier

I don't need a commercial-ass singe, double-platinum, triple-six shit, quadruple vinyl to say this much

That I'm the freshest MC ever to touch the mic in this bilingual manner with my own banner

I just do what I do and do well what I do, that's why I move and I dwell with my crew

The name is Empire22 and don't forget it, I'm concise when I slice so there's no need for an edit

I think globally and rap locally, the freak Asian breaking down the equation

E=MC squared?

Nah, me equal MCs scared because I explode atomically

MC's break down comically get dropped automatically

The force connecting the Pacific is called hip-hop

One nation indivisible for an invisible war, now what the fuck are you fighting for?


[Chorus: Shing02]

The mic is so hot, I turn coal into diamonds and pearls

I harbor no pain but the flow still remains

Yo, I can't fight the blood in my veins

The mic is so hot, I turn coal into diamonds and pearls

I harbor no pain but the flow still remains

Yo, I can't fight the blood in my veins


[Outro: Shing02]

Yo, for the kids in [?], this is for you

For the kids in the [?], this is for you

For the kids in LA, this is for you

For the kids in the east, this is for you

For the kids down south, this is for you

For the kids in Europe, this is for you

For the kids down under, this is for you

For the kids in Asia, this is for you

[?], right
