Empire (feat. Bingx) - Asking Alexandria

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 though?”

Take pride in your every action

Everyday of my life is work

And they tell me that time is money

But only I know what that time is worth

Even if the sky was falling down

Down down down

Even if the sky was falling, well 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

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Sure as the tide rolls in at night

I’ll still be here at the end 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, well 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

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Sure as the tide rolls in at night

I’ll still be here at the end 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 end of days screaming at the sky

Let the fires 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 end 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
