Empire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
