Empire

[Derek Minor]

I live my life like I'm a live forever

Like whatever or whenever, just don't tell me never

I can tell that there's some people that won't see me better

But greatness in our DNA, He ain't made us for failure

Uh, we live our dreams while you sleep walkin'

That sound of destiny too loud so I can't hear you talkin'

They said, "Minor, we be waiting on that fire often"

I'm tryin' to cremate a beat, it won't even see a coffin

Yeah, I bet you think that this that braggin' flow

Talk about some stuff that you ain't got, impress the masses flow

That sell your soul, you can buy your home that's massive flow

Thinkin' to myself, what's a mansion to a castle though?

And now You've given us a new beginnin'

You placed us high above

And there's nothin' that's bringin' us down

This is our empire, empire

This is our empire, empire

[Derek Minor]

I see so many problems

The Lord teachin' me patience, feelin' like I'm back in college

I'm learnin' most my issues have to do with economics

But my anger makin' me wanna go and do trigonomics, true

I'm just tellin' y'all where I'm at

Tellin' y'all that I need grace

And I'm still leanin' on that

[?] worried 'bout me that's my dog

He think I'm probably gon' snap

Now I'm talkin' to God a whole lot lately

I'm findin' comfort in that

I'm findin' comfort in that

You said, "Don't you worry 'bout none of this

[?] none of this

Your work cannot come up with all of this on you

And ain't no way you won't become in this

My empire will never run out of nothin'

Cuz I am the one who is fundin' this

Just do what I told you to do

Give it all that you got and you risin' above in this"

And now You've given us a new beginnin'

You placed us high above

And there's nothin' that's bringin' us down

This is our empire, empire

This is our empire, empire

[Derek Minor]

And where we goin' we won't need the sun

Cause You gon' light the whole world with Your love

So shine Your light on me

Shine Your light on me

Shine Your light on me

They said that we won't need the sun

Cause You gon' light the whole world with Your love

So shine Your light on me

Shine Your light on me

Shine Your light on me

[Traneshia "Truth" Chiles]

And now You've given us a new beginnin'

You placed us high above

And there's nothin' that's bringin' us down

This is our empire, empire

This is our empire, empire
