Mi see 16 and nuh reach 15 yet

See crime scene, a neva nuh movie a mek

Wi see real real blood dehso, marrow and flesh

And mi see dawg and cat tun rat

Mi see man a use hand a try stop gunshot

Family stop, family lungs puncture

Mi see my love and guess wah, mi neva seet come back

Musically, "Empty" features a slow and melancholic beat, consistent with what is being described as the "gloom sound" or "darkside", highlighting the sombre mood of the lyrics. Chronic Law's delivery is both powerful and vulnerable, conveying a sense of despair and resilience in equal measure.

The chorus's repetition of the line "Mi lose nuff tings, mi nah get it back" reinforces the song's central theme of loss and emptiness, while the verses offer a vivid glimpse into the artist's lived experience.

Overall, "Empty" is a powerful addition to Chronic Law's catalogue, showcasing his lyrical depth and emotional range.
