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 should've been making it, oh

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

Doubting what's in my mind

I guess I'll never learn

Still tryna figure it out, yeah

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, oh 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

Cause never had it when I was a kid

Mum and Dad working double shifts

Kinda hard on relationships, ooh

But I'm gonna show them just what they'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 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

Making the sacrifices I've gotta make

Missing out on the times, wish I could've stayed

Breaking my heart into pieces when I go away

Watching it fade

Gonna build an empire

Gonna build an empire, yeah...

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

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
