Asking Alexandria, Bingx - Empire lyrics

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 grinding, fly and soar
Always know what you fighting for
Aging fast, gotta pave a path and go figure
Out what my life is for woo, quick-witted
And every day 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
'Cause, I'm on the way to
Go change the Earth, and I just may
My life is what 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
Every day 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
Well, 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, 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 'fore
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 (Rrah)
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, woo
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
Well, 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, yeah

Sure as the tide rolls in at night
I'll still be here at the end
Of days screamin' at the sky
Let the fire consume and
Cleanse what's before me
Behold, I'll build my empire 'fore
The ashes hit the ground

Sure as the tides roll 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 'fore
The ashes hit the ground
(Ashes hit the ground) 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 'fore
The ashes hit the ground

I'll build my empire 'fore the
Ashes hit the ground
Even if the sky was falling down
Even if the sky was falling down
