Empire
Cozy James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No there ain't a better time to be alive
Imma put my fear aside and make it through the fire
When you chasing greatness ain't no time for feeling tired
Moving brick by brick
Yeah Imma build an empire
Never got complacent I'm just biding my time
Always stayin' ready I ain't waiting for a sign
Place me under pressure you gon see how bright I'll shine
Only getting started I ain't even in my prime

In the maze and I'm looking towards better days
I been grindin' through the sleepless nights
Imma keep following the light
Can't see clearly through the haze
Best believe I'll keep on tempting fate
See it in my mind open up my third eye
Swear Imma make it to paradise
Imma keep on reaching brand new heights
Cooking in the kitchen servin' humble pie
Learn to savor moments not the finish line
Buckle up I'm taking off right outta your sight
Yeah I remember every single lie
Snakes in the grass I had to cut some ties
I am not the type to stick around for goodbyes
Emptying my baggage now I'm feelin' light

Legends ain't born they made
Purity in my veins
See we both going down this road
But we in different lanes as I'm
Breaking through all these chains
Walking through walls of flames
You just
Sitting there all ashamed
Tryna burden all that pain
And I just I feel them testing me
And I feel' em blessing me
My favorite women drive me crazy
Shoutout faith and destiny
Faith I keep her close and destiny we was meant to be
I know I'm going ghost at times
But that's that phantom legacy
I was born to win
I swear I'm never settling
They tried to drown me in my fears
But really I'm prepared to swim
Only time I'm looking back to make sure I'm ahead of them
Knocking down these barriers
The road to greatness never ends

No there ain't a better time to be alive
Imma put my fear aside and make it through the fire
When you chasing greatness ain't no time for feeling tired
Moving brick by brick
Yeah Imma build an empire
Never got complacent I'm just biding my time
Always stayin' ready I ain't waiting for a sign




Place me under pressure you gon see how bright I'll shine
Only getting started I ain't even in my prime
