Empire

I haven't played a show in way too long

People keep asking me where I have gone

I started fading quick, yeah

When I could've been making it, oh

I guess that I lost my sight, I was way too young

Doubting what's in my mind, before I could learn

Still try'na figure it out, oh

It's all that I'm thinking about, ooh

I'm gonna take it for what it's worth

Put in the hours 'til I have earned it

Show everybody what I deserve, woah yeah

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build an empire, empire

Everyone in this game, we lie too much

Say we're doing it for the love, only for the love

But I'm not ashamed to say, yeah

That I wanna be rich someday, ooh

Never had it when I was a kid

Mum and dad working double shifts

Kinda hard on relationships, oh

But I'm gonna show them just what we're worth

I'm gonna put in the work, yeah

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build a castle in my head

And a kingdom from my bed, oh

Making sacrifices I gotta make

We sailed on the times, wish I could've stayed

Breaking my heart into pieces when I go away, watching it fade

Gonna build an empire, ooh

Gonna build an empire, yeah oh

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build a castle in my head

And a kingdom from my bed

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build an empire, empire

Gonna build a castle in my head

And a kingdom from my bed, oh oh
