Here are the lyrics in case you have trouble following along:<\/p>\n

[DARTH VADER\/JAY-Z]
\nYeah
\nNo longer Anakin
\nFormerly a Skywalker
\nSon’s next rebel hero
\nBut I’ll be Sith forever
\nI’m the newest Dark lord And since my training years
\nI can choke from anywhere
\nYeah my force is everywhere Used to run with Obi Wan We were both best buds foreva
\nBut after three movies Now I’ve got a blood vendetta Grew up on Tatooine
\nNo vegetation Catch me rolling through the cosmos in a moon-like station to Leia’s home nation Death Star wrecks it Now princess knows, Vader ain’t one to mess with
\nFlying through the trenches
\nBlasting rebel noobies
\nWhat happened to the fat one
\nThink he died of heart disease All that’s left is this guy
\nChasing him in my TIE I won’t deny That his force is pretty damn high
\nDamn i just got wiped out
\nFalcon shot the back of me
\nSpinning into outerspace
\nBut I’ll be back definitely<\/p>\n

[PRINCESS LEIA\/ALICIA KEYS]
\nIn Star Wars Empire is out to find Leia Death star plans in R2 Shoot the exhaust port Kenobi may now be see-through But the force is within Luke
\nLet’s hear it for new hope, new hope, new hope
\n[Vader: You’re welcome Obi Wan… I made you a ghost!]<\/p>\n

[DARTH VADER\/JAY-Z]
\nCatch me rockin boots and a cape like superman
\nHell, I made wearing black more famous than that Jay-Z can
\nYou should know I’d find you, hiding out at Echo
\nNow I got a Blizzard Force eliminate you quick yo
\nWelcome to the planet Hoth AT-ATs hit the spot Walking tanks are too legit
\nBut they fall down a lot Check the front, check the back, cant find the Falcon yet
\nWe need them all alive, so no disintegrations Boba Fett 8 million asteroids, where’d your little ship go?
\nGet me to Cloud City, I got Lando on my payroll
\nMe I gotta double check if carbonite’s ok If freezin’s safe for Han
\nDoing Luke the same way
\nNew deal Lando
\nAin’t no pardon
\nKid blew up my boys
\nRest in peace Moff Tarkin
\nTurns out we are family
\nEmbrace your dark fate
\nDad and son together, yo No way the emperor’s safe, cause…<\/p>\n

[PRINCESS LEIA\/ALICIA KEYS] In Star Wars
\nNow Han Solo’s a coffee table
\nThere’s nothing Luke can do [Vader: Should’ve joined me, bro!]
\nHe’s on Dagobah
\nWith some dyslexic Jedi dude
\nRight hand still got sliced through Looks like they struck back, struck back, struck back<\/p>\n

[DARTH VADER\/JAY-Z]
\nLightsabers grinding
\nPalpatine’s smiling
\nCause he knew it would come to this The light side is blind with casualties
\nWho do evil casually, then gradually become worse
\nDon’t fight your destiny
\nWasn’t a great dad, true
\nAbsent all the while
\nNo happy times behind us, and plus, now I’m killin’ you
\nKeep fencing mister, ’cause now I sense a sister
\nYou don’t go bad, maybe I’ll enlist her
\nNow Emperor wants you, only wants me rubbed out You controlled your anger, stayed light side devout Watch out kid, he’s got lightning bolts to immolate Uh-uh, hell no, daddy powers activate
\nEnd this prune with a badass murder suicide
\nBald headed, mask off, heart melted kid you were right Burn all my gear so those Ewoks can’t wear it again
\nDo it, I’ll be watching you, a ghost, name of Anakin<\/p>\n

[PRINCESS LEIA\/ALICIA KEYS] In Star Wars
\nDestroy new Death Star’s generator
\nEwoks to the rescue
\nBlast through to the core
\nThis Regime’s gonna be brand new
\nGalactic Empire’s through
\nThe Jedi have returned, returned, returned<\/p>\n
