The Empires Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Murda gang, gang, gang (C.O, turn that beat up)
Nigga, don't come around me you ain't bussin' that fire (that fire)
Nigga tryna ride the wave, they just wanna get high (get high)
Ain't no love for these hoes, they gon' suck a nigga dry (dry)
Never too much money, tryna stack it to the sky (to the sky)
Every day a good day, I wake up and get fly (get fly)
Laugh now, cry later, it's an eye for an eye (for a eye)
These niggas hatin' so hard, I know why (I know why)
Hop in the drop, hit the gas and go outta control (skrrt)
Man, my neck and wrist, this shit froze (on froze)
Green racks got my pockets on swole (swole)
Go rob me a show and I'll bring out the hoes (hoes)
Self-made nigga, run it up, slangin' bows (bows)
I'm wit' the mob, all my niggas on go mode (go mode)
Fifty somethin' shots in my chop, I'ma unload (unload, on gang)
Let me tell you why a nigga hatin' so hard (why)
I ain't have shit, turned myself to a star (star)
Where I come from, niggas die and get locked behind bars
Never ever thought I'd make it this far (never)
Gotta stay on my ten when you come to my city (yeah)
Kids and mama's keep dyin', shit wicked (wicked)
Everybody fucked up, ain't no way to fix it (damn)
Glock with the switch, ain't no way I could miss it (boaw)
Straight out South Memphis, I run with some gremlins
Straight out the mud, tryna run up a million (a million)
Ain't nobody got me shit, I'ma make a nigga feel it (you feel me?)
Ran up a huncho by myself (huncho)
Whole 'nother profit, don't need no help (yeah)
Pack in the mail, send 'em both to your doorstep (out of here)
Nigga, don't come to my trap 'less you shoppin' (trap)
Don't call my phone, just pull up with the copper (yeah)
Paper Route the mob, bitch, we never stoppin' (on the mob)
Got the haters mad 'cause we independent and we poppin' (poppin')
Got 'em mad, I'm the trendin' topic (topic)
Learn by the gang, never speak on no bodies (on gang)
Go look at the news, nigga know that they droppin'
(Go look at the news, all the opps droppin')
Nigga, don't come around me you ain't bussin' that fire (that fire)
Nigga tryna ride the wave, they just wanna get high (get high)
Ain't no love for these hoes, they gon' suck a nigga dry (dry)
Never too much money, tryna stack it to the sky (to the sky)
Every day a good day, I wake up and get fly (get fly)
Catch you out of bounds, we gon' make yo' mama cry (yeah)
Laugh now, cry later, it's an eye for an eye (for a eye)
These niggas hatin' so hard, I know why (I know why)
Hop in the drop, hit the gas and go outta control (skrrt)
Man, my neck and wrist, this shit froze (on froze)
Green racks got my pockets on swole (swole)
Go rob me a show and I'll bring out the hoes (hoes)
Self-made nigga, run it up, slangin' bows (bows)
I'm wit' the mob, all my niggas on go mode (go mode)
Fifty somethin' shots in my chop, I'ma unload (unload, on gang)
Fifty somethin' shots in the chop, let it rip (let it rip)
I keep the Glock like it's glued to my hip (on my hip)
Smokin' on Za', ain't smokin' on hemp (za')
Doggin' these hoes, you would think I was a pimp (yeah)
Sack in my draws, why I walk wit' a limp (wit' a limp)
Reach for my ice, knock you out like I'm Kimbo (yeah, yeah)
Whole lotta shooters, they be hoppin' out a limo (limo)
Lit the opp block, got 'em duckin' like limbo (limbo, yeah)
Lotta niggas mad 'cause I'm shittin' on 'em (shittin' on 'em)
Get the drop from the opp, put a bitch on 'em (bitch on 'em)
Fuck up the profit, then ice up my wrist on 'em (ice)
Cop me another coupe, yeah, I just pissed on 'em (skrrt-skrrt)
Play wit' them, Bandz got more racks than your big homie (big racks)
Don't need a deal, bitch, I been lit (been lit)
Still makin' plays while I drop hits (drop 'em)
Paper Route the gang, nigga, this shit forever (forever ever)
I'ma turn this shit up to a whole 'nother level (another level)
Put my all in this shit and go harder than ever (ever)
I can't fuck wit' these niggas, they change like the weather
Give a fuck 'bout a bitch, nigga, I never sweat her (fuck her)
Niggas hatin' on me 'cause they know I'm finna blow (yeah)
Came a log way, I used to sleep on the floor (on the floor)
Paper Route the mob, all my niggas on go (on go)
Nigga, don't come around me you ain't bussin' that fire (that fire)
Nigga tryna ride the wave, they just wanna get high (get high)
Ain't no love for these hoes, they gon' suck a nigga dry (dry)
Never too much money, tryna stack it to the sky (to the sky)
Every day a good day, I wake up and get fly (get fly)

Laugh now, cry later, it's an eye for an eye (for a eye)
These niggas hatin' so hard, I know why (I know why)
Hop in the drop, hit the gas and go outta control (skrrt)
Man, my neck and wrist, this shit froze (on froze)
Green racks got my pockets on swole (swole)

I'm wit' the mob, all my niggas on go mode (go mode)
Fifty somethin' shots in my chop, I'ma unload (unload, on gang)
Long live Paper Route Frank
Straight up
On the mob
The lyrics of The Empire's song "I Want To Know" depict a narrative of life in the streets and the struggle for success. The opening lines establish a sense of affiliation with a gang and hint at a violent environment. The lyrics then shift to the singer's disdain for those who aren't actively involved in dangerous activities, describing them as leeches who simply want to ride the wave and get high. The lack of love for women is expressed, painting them as individuals who will drain a man of his resources. The pursuit of wealth and success is emphasized, with the singer striving to accumulate as much money as possible.
The second verse delves into the singer's background and the challenges they've faced. They highlight the harsh reality of their hometown, where death and imprisonment are common occurrences. Despite these obstacles, the singer has managed to overcome their circumstances and achieve success. They stay vigilant and wary when it comes to their safety, describing themselves as being part of a mob that is always ready to attack. The lyrics also mention the use of violence and firearms to protect themselves and maintain their status.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of defiance and determination. The singer is unapologetic about their actions and choices, focusing on their own success and the pursuit of money. They reject societal norms and prioritize their own well-being. The lyrics depict a world where loyalty to the gang is paramount and where violence is used as a means of survival.

Fair word of warning: Campaigns are super fun played on normal difficulty*
On hard a lot of them are rather scuffed where the difficulty rating means nothing and you will have wild swings in difficulty within the same scenario, as well as it forcing you into a specific tactic instead of letting you attack the challenge how you wish. You'd think its from updating the old content but no, the old content holds up far better than the new stuff.
General tips:
-Pick 2 civs to practice with at first, then branch out as you feel more comfortable. Generally you want them to be different playstyles i.e. one cavalry one archery civ. Britons and Franks are very popular for this, though a myriad of other choices are viable.
-Always make more villagers
-You can target practice skills by playing skirmishes on different populations and with different rules. If you want to practice micro, play a 25 population game. If you want to practice sustained production, play a 40 minute truce game on Michi with 500 population. Different settings can help you get the most of the specific situation you want while still practicing general gameplay.
-Utilize the resources that are available to you online. Lots of helpful people like Hera have done the work and put together condensed information to help you be able to speed through the painful segments of learning and get to the point that you feel comfortable playing. Dont waste it.

Not only are you knowledgeable but also so humble towards the lower ELO community. Really appreciate your vids Hera!

I paradoxally think 90% of the viewers are veteran 1999 players.
Anyway it is very well explained

Some of these veterans haven't played since 1999. Now, after the xbox release, many people discover the game again.

Not sure where I fall in your statistic – I might have played it a long time ago (not even on my own computer, I think), but nowadays I'm just watching videos on Youtube. (I don't even have Windows, nor a console.)

Hi Hera, thanks for making up to date guides :) When you do more of your new 'Road to 2k', would it be possible to have a mouse and keyboard camera/view showing how you do regular sequences of actions e.g. ctrl group production buildings, multi queue units, micro crossbows? Preferably with the DE default hotkeys but it would still be helpful with you using your custom ones :)
