Empire (with Konata Small)

[Verse 1]

race against the clock

take it 5am the top

don't think that it ever stops

no no we will never stop no

and they will never stop no

diamond in the rough

you can see me glowing up

no matter what you bring against me

I will never give it up no

never give it up no

[PreChorus]

a little blood a little skin

you push a little farther

lift it up and drop it down

and take it even higher now

even higher now

[Chorus]

I'm building an Empire

I was made for this

born to win

champion in my vain

Empire

I'm building an empire

[Verse 2]

put the pressure on

cooking up a perfect storm

you've been playing with a match

and I know you can hear the fire comin’

I know you hear the fire comin’

[PreChorus]

a little blood a little skin

you push a little farther

lift it up and drop it down

and take it even higher now

even higher now

[Chorus]

I'm building an Empire

I was made for this

born to win

champion in my vain

Empire

I'm building an empire

[Verse 3]

I'm building a legacy

a quitter something I'll never be

I never give in to the enemy

honor the people who came in

ahead of me yeah so I already knew it

fire came and I lived through it

I embraced it and grew through it

I am grateful I ain't lose it

cause nobody said it'd be easy

I knew it when no one believed me

that's integrity

when you doing what you should and nobody sees it

now I've seen what I built brick by brick

and I just breathe in like

[Chorus]

I'm building an Empire

I was made for this

born to win

champion in my vain

Empire

I'm building an empire
