Dynasty is an American prime time television soap opera that aired on ABC from January 12, 1981 to May 1989. The series, created by Richard & Esther Shapiro and produced by Aaron Spelling, revolved around the Carringtons, a wealthy oil family living in Denver, Colorado. Starring John Forsythe and Linda Evans as oil magnate Blake Carrington and his new wife Krystle, Dynasty was ABC's competitor to CBS's prime time series Dallas.
Ratings for the show's first season were unremarkable, ranking #28, but the second season arrival of Joan Collins as Blake's scheming first wife Alexis heralded Dynasty's rise into the Top 20. By the fall of 1982, it was a top ten show and by 1985, it was the #1 series on television.Dynasty was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best TV Drama Series every year from 1981 to 1986, winning in 1984.Dynasty spawned a successful line of fashion and luxury products, and also a spin-off series called The Colbys. Dynasty dropped from #7 to #24 during the 1986-87 season, and was ultimately canceled in May 1989 after a nine-season run. A two-part mini-series, Dynasty: The Reunion, aired in October 1991.
Plot
It's 1984, and Michael Jackson is king-even in Waihau Bay, New Zealand. Here we meet Boy, an 11-year-old who lives on a farm with his gran, a goat, and his younger brother, Rocky (who thinks he has magic powers). Shortly after Gran leaves for a week, Boy's father, Alamein, appears out of the blue. Having imagined a heroic version of his father during his absence, Boy comes face to face with the real version-an incompetent hoodlum who has returned to find a bag of money he buried years before. This is where the goat enters.

Plot
The story of Dynasty, a ballerina whose dream was to become famous at the local Vaudeville theater. Unfortunately, she slipped further and further away from reality. Now Dynasty is desperately searching for a new role both in her real life and as an actress. Haunted by her own nightmares and fantasies, there is only one frightening option left: the notorious Pygor and his outdated L'amour Toujours Theatre. After reading an ad placed by Pygor in the local newspaper, Dynasty is confronted by Pygor and his 'freak cabaret' and is about to face what will turn out to be the audition from hell. This film is about anarchism and tyranny, big moustaches and trashy track suits, cocktail parties and terrorism, French cheese and pantomime, new abstract realities and claustrophobic mazes. It is about Princess Stephanie of Monaco and Noam Chomsky. It is a film about nothing.

The city feels clean this time of night
Just empty streets and me walking home
To clear my head
And though it came as no surprise
I'm affected more than I had guessed
On what was said
If love's not meant to be
If the heart's not ready to open
If we make it I won't see
It's broken
If love's not meant to be
If the heart's not ready to open
If we make it I won't see
How it's broken
How
It's the quiet time before the dawn
And I'm half past making sense of it
Was I wrong?
Should I think to give it all
In a world where not much ever seems
To last long
If love's not meant to be
If the heart's not ready to open
If we make it I won't see
It's broken
If love's not meant to be
If the heart's not ready to open
If we make it I won't see
How it's broken
If love's not meant to be
If the heart's not ready to open
If we make it I won't see
It's broken
If love's not meant to be
If the heart's not ready to open
If we make it I won't see
How it's broken
How
How
How
How
Beyond the shadows of your deepest doubts
Above the bluest seas
Lies a kingdom we have willingly died for
A true land of the free
Lift up these broken battered soulds
We cannot do this on our own
Where will we go?
What shall we see?
Lose your grip on reality
Open your mind
Fall to your knees
Embrace eternity
I hear the angels singing
Thy purest gifts they're bringing
Take now your righteous seat at the throne of theocracy
The days of sufferng shall soon be over
The word hath been received
For we are here
Our cup runneth over
Is this not destiny?
It's not worth fighting for
A world of senseless war
Lay down your battle sword and open up your eyes
I'ma, go getter, cash flow flipper
Straight from the jungle so call me a gorilla
I got cash but I stay grindin' for more figures
For the scrilla I'll move a brick quicker then the next nigga
I got bling all up in my teeth (Mike Jones!)
I run the game so I'm the king of the streets
Niggaz showed beef cuz I'm on top
before the fame they ain't care if I was dead or not
But now I'm hot they wanna baller block, scheme and plot
Tryna do whatever it takes to take me out
I wonder why cuz I'm on top of the game and mad at that
Once I blow yo career you can have it back
But until then I'm flippin' 'fins stackin' benjamin's
Tryna get me and my family in a benz
So I grind, hopin' one day I'll shine
Leavin' haters behind, so if you wanna shine
You better wait in line
Platinum Underground, November 18th

This is not our demise. It’s clearly a moment marked by time.
Cut to the chase, lower your arms. With all your grace, and all your charm.
In fear we loath. In this merciful world.
In fear we will no longer amble.
With strength we will reside Desire burn in our eyes.
Don’t sell yourself short for fortune and fame.
You’ll never know, their true intentions
Keep on keep on standing tall Hold strong so that through it all
our hopes of success will bring light to the skies
the actions we take will uncover the lies.
Keep on, keep on standing tall Have courage through it all.
Driven by passion, distracted by lust
we once sold our souls for what we desire
Callow to corollaries which would follow
We fight this battle that will not be won Without ardor, and without passion.
Don't sell yourself short You’ll never know, you’ll never know their true intentions
In a world where amnesty is a lost art.
Second chances are few and between (Second layer)
Don’t sell yourself short, don’t sell yourself short.
You’ll never know their true intentions.
(Layered ending [2x]) Don’t sell yourself short.
There's a force
Can you hear it?can you feel it?
I'm coming down, stronger than anything
In this world, raise your fists to the air
There is a feeling that we have to share
'Cause from my deepest heart, one thing i wanna do
I wanna say, I wanna say hello to you
Let me welcome you to the family
Heavy metal dynasty
let me welcome you, here's your family
Born to serve the century
In this world, there is one destination
A destination no one is ever able to escape
Raise hands to the sky, sink your head to the ground
Leave your worries just behind, no one can bring you
down
'Cause from my deepest heart, one thing I wanna do
I wanna say, I wanna say hello to you
Let me welcome you to the family
Heavy metal dynasty
Let me welcome you, here's your family
Born to serve the century
A ten million helping us around the world in war
There's only one thing left forever
Let me welcome you to the family
Heavy metal dynasty
Let me welcome you, here's your family

[Swateezy Verse]
I be like
Catch me if you can but I'm ussian bolt, when I'm running to the money
Play I bitch dirty if the bitch acting funny
Got the cards I'm dealt and I started playing rummy
I grind till I'm hungry, then I grind again to put food in my tummy
If you want hip-hop I'm the energizer bunny
I spit about the rain cuz my days aint always sunny
It's grind time, 25/9, every line I'm, playin the corner just like I'm prime time
Every time I rhyme, I'm tryn to show these haters it's my time
So watch me
They can't stop me, they tryna photoshop me
They wanna crop me
Out the picture cuz I'm sicker then aids with sickle cell deficiency
Efficiently, out spittin all of my enemies
How can it be, that they still tryna get at me
You gonn regret it see
Aint another muhhfucka capable of stepping up to me
In other words, none of yall can fuck with me
If you with The Slip you stuck with me
Thesliprecords.com if you tryna see wassup with me
Boy I'm greatness in the making
If you aint think so, then you got this shit mistaken
Swat

The slip is Chicago in da 90s
We shatter dreams
Killin all deez niggas self esteem
That's jab
You should bob an weave
Like ultimate fightin
Except this is a rap ring
I float like a butterfly
An sting
Like a bee
PAC came to swat
An biggie came to me
While we were sleep
I guess you can say we dreamin
Brain mo visual an intuitive when sleepthink
Yall sleepin
So gone an put ya pajamas on
An fix you a midnight snack
While the slip takes off
Yall aint help us get here
Dnt expect to be broke off
10 plus years in the game
We outlasting
Enemies an so called foes
Ya know
Scrubs
Dat use to be with the team
But aint have the same heart we did
Nino Troy started to do canceling
While he was counseling all the lames fucks claim dey wanna do music us
Thesliprecords.com
If y'all really wanna fuck wit us
We true to this shit
This really what we do bruh
Matter fact
Don't even fuckin hit us up
If you aint bout that grindin bruh
We aint taking no mo Ls
the love the fame the fortune
its everything you want
everything you've fought for
or isn't that right
you thought it would be simple
to have it by your side
what you didn't think of
was the other hand...
Bridge:
if you want one
gotta give a thousand
cus nothing comes for free
it might sound really simple
the way of its description
but its a pain you see
you need to comprehend it
if you don't want to be
part of the controversy
that comes to you and takes over
with ease...
that comes and stays
it wont go away..
Chorus 1:
do you want to be part of the world
that I have to offer
of this dynasty
as I say
is this life what you want to live
is this dynasty enough
to be happy...
I always thought of mansions
cars and expensive clothes
to be a famous pop star
and just feel all the love
but as i got closer
I realized there's more
at the end the vanity feels like
the extra point..
Bridge
chorus 1
Chorus 2:
do you want to
go through all this life
yes it might be dear
but you pay the price
gossip and crap
talked behind your back
worse then what in high school
people could come up...
oh oh
uoh uoh
oh oh
ouh ouh ...
its quite simple
you gotta just push away yourself
don't get closer
because once you get caught
you'll never be released
I know what I'm talking
I know what I'm saying
I'm not lying
I'm not lying
I've experienced it...
and this life
is great at times
but it does get harder
within the life...
chorus 1 & 2
oh oh oh oh oh
what you gonna say
what you gonna say...
you thought your life was hard
you kept it going now
what you don't see is that
fame and fortune cost a lot
more than a million
I can tell you that
Those arms held us to your heart
Lifted us above to reach the stars
Awakened fascination from the start
Never let that wonder fall apart
Those hands kept us warm and well
Were there to hold us stable if we fell
Line we left behind would never tell
Songs lived on beyond their final bell
Shine on kid shine on
Shine on kid shine on
Fight on kid fight on
From here to eternity
You'll soar through eternity
Shine on kid shine on
Shine on kid shine on
Fight on kid fight on
From here to eternity
You'll soar through eternity
Those eyes watched their final dawn
We knew this end would come before to long
Dreams we weaved indeed will carry on
Echo out beyond us when we're gone
Shine on kid shine on
Shine on kid shine on
Fight on kid fight on
From here to eternity
You'll soar through eternity
Shine on kid shine on
Shine on kid shine on
Fight on kid fight on
From here to eternity
You haffe dread to be Rasta
Some little man a imposter
You haffe to dread to be a lion
Some little man ago a Zion
Let me tell you a story
About Rasta
Rasta was born in 1930
By the great patriot, Leonard Howell
Due to philosophy, dem scorn him
Send him to prison, madhouse and kill him
You haffe dread to be Rasta
Some little man a imposter
You haffe to dread to be a lion
Some little man ago a Zion
I traveled the days
When Ion trod through gully
Now some little werewolf
A gwan like skully
Rasta a soldier
So no crossover
You haffe dread to be Rasta
Some little man a imposter
You haffe to dread to be a lion
Some little man ago a Zion
What about the covenant
And our identity
Some man dread because of Bob Marley
Some man dread because dem smoke collie
Some man come with dem own philosophy
Some man come with dem own identity
Nyahbinghi a no breaching
Theocracy a one teaching
You haffe dread to be Rasta
Some little man a imposter
You haffe to dread to be a lion
Some little man ago a Zion
Well, I recall days in the city
And I think back, "Oh what a pity"
Rememberin' how it wasn't pretty
Every day life in the city
Out in the street we had to take it
With friends around, couldn't it
What wasn't there, we had to make it
Hangin' out down in the city
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
We had to fight to be accepted
It wasn't right and I protested
For hangin' out we got arrested
Every day life in the city
We'd go to school and then we'd cut out
Go to the park and space our heads out
We called it fun but there was some doubt
Hangin' out down in the city
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
I don't wanna be there or even think back
I don't wanna be there, now I'm on the right track, yeah
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
I don't wanna be there or even think back
I don't wanna be there, 'cause I'm on the right track
Now I'm on the right track
I'm finally on the right track
I'm finally on the right track
