Age of Empires - Chris Webby, KXNG Crooked

They’ll know my name

After the stars are passing through

They’ll know my name

When they forgot about you

They’ll know my name

After the stars are passing through

They’ll know my name

When they forgot about you

Yeah

They gon' know my name for generations

For these revolutionary revelations

And as humanities headed for devastation

I’mma be the only thing standing when it caves in

Weapons carved from the bones of my enemies

War paint with the blood of my critics

Keep my kingdom in control with telepathy

Get up in your mind, when I’m done, you’ll admit it, I’m the king

See my name engraved on the monuments

Don’t remember how I was embraced by the populous

From my castles excavated by the paleontologists

And they read my tales written by the ancient astrologists

Got the strength of a warrior

The legend that they can’t see the stories of

At the apothecary sipping on the formula

I could rain down fire when I’m scorching the

Earth, right underneath you, beat you down

Defile, defeat you, and just leave you

Nobody’ll try to reach you

Can’t win when I rise, my design is lethal

World domination I don’t got no time for peaceful, I

Rule the land with the love and touch of an iron fist

Battle scars running deeper than my epidermis

Cause when the crown’s in your clutch, there’s a higher risk

Just take a seat upon the thrown, you’ll be getting nervous

Sweating, second guessing the stressing that you could easily fall

The traitors and snakes will cheer and applaud

Then the second that your back’s turned, kill you in broad day

Light, then paint your story on the pyramid walls, I’ve witnessed it all

believe me

The son of Nefertiti with the brain of Archimedes that’s tucked up under my

beanie

No peace treaty, I’m greedy, I’m leaving these lands cauterized

Until my name is immortalized, yeah

They’ll know my name

After the stars are passing through

They’ll know my name

When they forgot about you

They’ll know my name

After the stars are passing through

They’ll know my name

When they forgot about you

Yeah

Philosophic as Pythagoras

Skin bronze as Jesus of Nazareth, that and my woolly hair

Police seem to think it’s hazardous

I ain’t Rodney but I’m the king of L.A., they just unaware

My crown is unanimous before I was standing on this land with indigenous people

cheefing on cannabis

I ruled half of the Africas, and my word to brought patience like the back of a

ambulance

You just wasn’t there

That’s why I brought in this historical columnist

Herodotus to document my father in his sarcophagus

So write a history piece, and take it back to fifth century Greece

Tell him he was omniscient, while you at it tell em' that I’m the shit

Even theologists, put my name on colleges and philosophy scholarships

Dissertations written on my thoughts and accomplishments

Then they’ll use my memoirs to shape modern politics

They’ll put my name in great books, and Holy Scriptures

When the snakes and crooks want you to forget how my face looks

They’ll hire artists bigger than Michelangelo to paint a false image of me

In phony pictures

Conspiracy theorists dig deeper, when my body’s deceased my name will defeat

the Grim reaper

Put my face on the sphynx, like all hail Egypt

But king wherever I Rome, like all twelve Caesars

Even when I’m enslaved, and captured like a titan

The gods, on Mount Olympus will be frightened at the mere sight of my

songwriting

Ballad of lifelong fighting, and soon as I’m free, I’m striking Zeus with his

own lightning

Bounce back from more challenges until I’m back in my palace

Sipping elixir from fabulous chalices

Known as a top war strategist, my name strikes paralysis

Into all my antagonists

They’ll know my name

After the stars are passing through

They’ll know my name

When they forgot about you

They’ll know my name

After the stars are passing through

They’ll know my name

When they forgot about you
