Empire

[Verse 1: Derek Minor] I live my life like I'm a live forever Like whatever or whenever, just don't tell me never I can tell that there's some people that won't see me better But greatness in our DNA, He ain't made us for failure Uh, we live our dreams while you sleep walkin' That sound of destiny too loud so I can't hear you talkin' They said, "Minor, we be waiting on that fire often" I'm tryin' to cremate a beat, it won't even see a coffin Yeah, I bet you think that this that braggin' flow Talk about some stuff that you ain't got, impress the masses flow That sell your soul, you can buy your home that's massive flow Thinkin' to myself, what's a mansion to a castle though? [Hook: Traneshia "Truth" Chiles] And now You've given us a new beginnin' You placed us high above And there's nothin' that's bringin' us down This is our empire, empire This is our empire, empire [Verse 2: Derek Minor] I see so many problems The Lord teachin' me patience, feelin' like I'm back in college I'm learnin' most my issues have to do with economics But my anger makin' me wanna go and do trigonomics, true I'm just tellin' y'all where I'm at Tellin' y'all that I need grace And I'm still leanin' on that Doc been worried 'bout me that's my dog He think I'm probably gon' snap Now I'm talkin' to God a whole lot lately I'm findin' comfort in that I'm findin' comfort in that He said, "Don't you worry 'bout none of this You actin' like I don't run none of this You actin' like I'mma put all of this on you And ain't no way you overcomin' this My empire never will run out of nothin' Cuz I am the one who is fundin' this Just do what I told you to do Give it all that you got and you risin' above in this" [Hook] [Bridge: Derek Minor] And where we goin' we won't need the sun Cause You gon' light the whole world with Your love So shine Your light on me Shine Your light on me Shine Your light on me They said that we won't need the sun Cause You gon' light the whole world with Your love So shine Your light on me Shine Your light on me Shine Your light on me [Hook]
