Empire

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 I 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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) [Chorus] Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build an empire, empire Gonna build an empire, empire [Verse 2] 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, oh [Pre-Chorus] But I'm gonna show them just what they're worth I'm gonna put in the work (Yeah) [Chorus] 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 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 [Bridge] Making the sacrifices I gotta make Missing out on the times, wish I coulda stayed Breaking my heart into pieces when I go away Watching it fade Gonna build an empire (Ooh) Gonna build an empire, yeah (Yeah, oh) [Chorus] 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 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)
