Carlos St John - Building My Empire lyrics

rate me

Chorus:

They can’t tie me now,

If you know what I was trying to do,

You know what I am talking about.

The world can’t tie me now,

And they can’t turn me down,

If you know where I was trying to go,

You know what I was talking about.

I’m building my empire,

I’m building my empire,

They go say they used to know me,

I’m building my empire!

I’m building my empire,

I’m building my empire,

They go say they used to talk to me.

I know a couple of bitches that half way supported,

A couple engineers that just half way recorded,

A couple of managers that were half way extorted,

Imagine if the fans could half way euphoric,

If I was half way the way I have, the way I wanna be,

I’ve been standing on a great lake in front a tree.

When I was young you asked me what I wanna be,

I wrote D.O.P.E in a summer tee

And nowadays the nigger kicked him like I’m trying to lead,

But in life nothing is free, so I wanna feel,

And in my mind I was half of I was it’s still a….

So now I’m killing everything like I’m on a spree,

And it’s saying it’s a smooth sailing, but I wanna sky,

And I’m just trying to find the sport that I wanna see,

So I’m now looking around,

Do we all agree?

It’s just me and ready Penny hair, anyhow,

I’m only cutting one check from the Penny pall,

Right now I have my sights on a roof,

So I at least be on a penthouse when they let me down.

In a moment I’ll finally get my money right,

You’ll see something you’ve never seen, like a sunny night.

And they say money talks, but in my case since I’m online

Is it fine if the money…?

And I remember back when it was just me alone,

The speaker is set off, you should speak at phone,

Just wait and ask mom for a speaker loan,

Watching the touchables trying to pick a …..

So mother fucker bitch and a bitch nigger,

I don’t care kill them all, make the ditch bigger.

The portfolio, nothing else counts,

Because I was told that reality….

Chorus:

They can’t tie me now,

If you know what I was trying to do,

You know what I am talking about.

The world can’t tie me now,

And they can’t turn me down,

If you know where I was trying to go,

You know what I was talking about.

I’m building my empire,

I’m building my empire,

They go say they used to know me,

I’m building my empire!

I’m building my empire,

I’m building my empire,

They go say they used to talk to me.
