Empire
Yeah, and they tell me life is short
In the blink of an eye we come and die, keep it in mind that life is war
Stay grounded, fly and soar, always know what you fighting for
Aging fast, gotta pave a path and go figure out what my life is for
Quick witted and everyday I gotta switch lanes
Fuck race, no pigment, I got thick skin, making big waves
Positive being positive is my legacy, pray for me or make way for me
Because I'm setting out to go change the earth and I just may
My life is was I call it and I call it successful
Now everybody wanna eyeball it, like "how the fuck he do that doe?"
Take pride in your every action, everyday of my life is work
They say time is money and I know what that time is worth
Even if the sky was falling down, down, down, down
Even if the sky was falling, I'm not falling down
I stand tall through it all, I've risked too much
To just give up now, I'm pushing on through
Sure as the tide rolls in at night
I'll still be here at the of days, screaming at the sky
Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me
Behold, I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground
Life inside a piece of paper, live it through my pen and pad
Lead inside my pencil like the hammer on my pistol back
There ain't no hitting back, life; it ain't no tennis match
All over the net but that ain't where I do business at
Face to face with adversity and intimidation
This is real, this is raw, ain't no imitation
No limitations, ain't a ceiling in sight
There ain't no rules or regulations, either yield or you fight
Just take a look at where I been, that's some appealing advice
'Cause you can build until it falls or keep it real and you rise
Even if the sky was falling down, down, down, down
Even if the sky was falling, I'm not falling down
I stand tall through it all, I've risked too much
To just give up now, I'm pushing on through
Sure as the tide rolls in at night
I'll still be here at the of days, screaming at the sky
Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me
Behold, I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground
Sure as the tide rolls in at night
I'll still be here at the of days, screaming at the sky
Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me
Behold, I'll build my empire 'fore the ashes hit the ground
Ashes hit the ground
Ashes hit the ground
Ashes hit the ground
Ashes hit the ground
Ashes hit the ground
Sure as the tide rolls in at night
I'll still be here at the of days, screaming at the sky
Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me
Behold, I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground
I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground
(Even if the sky was falling down)
(Even if the sky was falling down)
