Empire
Wengie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day they will build empires for me
From the dirt to the sky for the world to see
Bow down as they build empires for me

언젠간 이뤄줘 for me
나를 봐, 나를 봐 her majesty
아무도 날 넘볼 순 없지
Never die, live fast, it's my empire
Put my face on the cash, it's my empire
Put the bricks to the bricks, watch 'em get higher
Lay back, let 'em, let 'em build my empire

Minnie
Empire 나의 자리
소장해 Minnie, 따라해 봐 Minnie
매일 hail on it, blizzards
해 줄게 내 꿈에 later kiss kiss (meow)

Bang bang, two bags
My cash my bad
넌 왜 불러 my name
이제 그려 네 맘에 'cause one day

One day they will build empires for me
From the dirt to the sky for the world to see
Bow down as they build empires for me

언젠간 이뤄줘 for me
나를 봐, 나를 봐 her majesty
아무도 날 넘볼 순 없지

들어봐 느껴봐 it's my empire
내려놔 모두다 it's my empire
보라 빛 왕관이 빛날 때 higher
Lay back, let 'em, let 'em build my empire

(Uh huh) rollin' in the streets with the top off
The sun shines brighter with the top off
I think this drink needs a top off
Yeah, so I can take my (haha!)

네가 원한 것 기대는 마
차갑게 돌아서 바로
니 입술이 날 불러 queen
'Cause one day

One day they will build empires for me
From the dirt to the sky for the world to see
Bow down as they build empires for me

언젠간 이뤄줘 for me
나를 봐, 나를 봐 her majesty
아무도 날 넘볼 순 없지

Never die, live fast, it's my empire
Put my face on the cash, it's my empire
Put the bricks to the bricks, watch 'em get higher
Lay back, let 'em, let 'em build my empire





Lay back, let 'em, let 'em build my empire
