Empire

Sunday light, phone on silent

Coffee warm, the city quiet

They say wait, they say later

I say no, I say now, I say I made it

Little room, big ideas

No one’s name on my keys, yeah

Slow smile, soft ambition

I’m not loud, I’m just winning

Don’t need a throne, don’t need a crowd

Just my name and the way I sound

If they don’t get it, that’s alright

I build it pretty in the night

I’m gonna build my own empire

Brick by brick, no rush, no fire

Lazy groove, but I don’t tire

This is mine, my own empire

Oh-oh, my own empire

Soft and bold, my own empire

They can watch, I don’t require

I’m gonna build my own empire

Nice suit, bare feet on the floor

Gold in the pocket, nothing more

Don’t need your table, don’t need your door

I got a window and a little more

Call it cocky, call it calm

I move easy, I move on

No drama, no empire of stress

Just a kingdom I can rest in

Don’t need a throne, don’t need a crowd

Just my name and the way I sound

If they don’t get it, that’s alright

I build it pretty in the night

I’m gonna build my own empire

Brick by brick, no rush, no fire

Lazy groove, but I don’t tire

This is mine, my own empire

Oh-oh, my own empire

Soft and bold, my own empire

They can watch, I don’t require

I’m gonna build my own empire

Not the biggest, not the loudest

Just the one that feels like home

Crown a little crooked

Still, it’s mine, and mine alone

Mmm, mine alone

I’m gonna build my own empire

Brick by brick, no rush, no fire

Lazy groove, but I don’t tire

This is mine, my own empire

Oh-oh, my own empire

Soft and bold, my own empire

Close the door, turn up the light

I’m gonna build my own empire
