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 1]
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 2]
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)
