Song Lyrics

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
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-oooh
I'm gonna take it for what it's worth
Put in the hours till I have earned it
Show everybody what I deserve oh

Gonna build an empire, empire
Gonna build an empire, empire
Gonna build an empire, empire

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 some day
Cause never had it when I was a kid
Mum and dad working double shifts
Kinda hard on relationships, oh
But I'm gonna show them just what they're worth
I'm gonna put in the work

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
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

Making the sacrifices I've gotta make
Missing out on the times, wish I could've stayed
Breaking my heart in to pieces when I go away
Watching it fade

Gonna build an empire
Oooooh
Gonna build an empire
Yeah

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
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
