Empire

I live my life like I’m a live forever\nLike whatever or whenever, just don’t tell me never\nI can tell that there’s some people that won’t see me better\nBut greatness in our DNA, He ain’t made us for failure\nUh, we live our dreams while you sleep walkin'\nThat sound of destiny too loud so I can’t hear you talkin'\nThey said, «Minor, we be waiting on that fire often»\nI’m tryin' to cremate a beat, it won’t even see a coffin\nYeah, I bet you think that this that braggin' flow\nTalk about some stuff that you ain’t got, impress the masses flow\nThat sell your soul, you can buy your home that’s massive flow\nThinkin' to myself, what’s a mansion to a castle though?\nAnd now You’ve given us a new beginnin'\nYou placed us high above\nAnd there’s nothin' that’s bringin' us down\nThis is our empire, empire\nThis is our empire, empire\nI see so many problems\nThe Lord teachin' me patience, feelin' like I’m back in college\nI’m learnin' most my issues have to do with economics\nBut my anger makin' me wanna go and do trigonomics, true\nI’m just tellin' y’all where I’m at Tellin' y’all that I need grace\nAnd I’m still leanin' on that\nworried 'bout me that’s my dog\nHe think I’m probably gon' snap\nNow I’m talkin' to God a whole lot lately\nI’m findin' comfort in that\nI’m findin' comfort in that\nYou said, «Don't you worry 'bout none of this\nnone of this\nYour work cannot come up with all of this on you\nAnd ain’t no way you won’t become in this\nMy empire will never run out of nothin'\nCuz I am the one who is fundin' this\nJust do what I told you to do Give it all that you got and you risin' above in this»\nAnd now You’ve given us a new beginnin'\nYou placed us high above\nAnd there’s nothin' that’s bringin' us down\nThis is our empire, empire\nThis is our empire, empire\nAnd where we goin' we won’t need the sun\nCause You gon' light the whole world with Your love\nSo shine Your light on me Shine Your light on me Shine Your light on me They said that we won’t need the sun\nCause You gon' light the whole world with Your love\nSo shine Your light on me Shine Your light on me Shine Your light on me And now You’ve given us a new beginnin'\nYou placed us high above\nAnd there’s nothin' that’s bringin' us down\nThis is our empire, empire\nThis is our empire, empire
