Empire

(álbum: Empire - 2015)

[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 walking
That sound of destiny too loud so I can't hear you talking
They said, "Minor, we be waiting on that fire often"
I'm trying to cremate a beat, it won't even see a coffin
Yeah, I bet you think that this that bragging 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
Thinking to myself, what's a mansion to a castle though?

[Hook: Traneshia "Truth" Chiles]
And now You've given us a new beginning
You placed us high above
And there's nothing that's bringing us down
This is our empire, empire
This is our empire, empire

[Verse 2: Derek Minor]
I see so many problems
The Lord teaching me patience, feeling like I'm back in college
I'm learning most my issues have to do with economics
But my anger making me wanna go and do trigonomics, true
I'm just telling y'all where I'm at
Telling y'all that I need grace
And I'm still leaning on that
[?] worried 'bout me that's my dog
He think I'm probably gon' snap
Now I'm talking to God a whole lot lately
I'm finding comfort in that
I'm finding comfort in that
You said, "Don't you worry 'bout none of this
[?] none of this
Your work cannot come up with all of this on you
And ain't no way you won't become in this
My empire will never run out of nothing
Cuz I am the one who is funding this
Just do what I told you to do
Give it all that you got and you rising above in this"

[Hook]

[Bridge: Derek Minor]
And where we going 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]
