Lyrics
[OPEN – spoken, minimal beat]
Nothing was given.
I stayed.
That’s the difference.
⸻
[SECTION I – LOW MOTION VERSE]
I learned the weight of empty rooms
Silence louder than applause
Every night I mapped the future
With no promise it would come
네가 웃던 그 순간에도
I was measuring the fall
Not to fear it—
To survive it
Brick by brick, I stood tall
No echo when I spoke then
No lights when I arrived
But the ground remembered pressure
And it answered back in time
⸻
[SHIFT – rhythm changes, no lift yet]
숨 고르고
Stillness first
Power waits
Before it bursts
I don’t announce
I don’t explain
I just move
And let it change
⸻
[SECTION II – ASCENT VERSE]
They mistook restraint for doubt
They mistook patience for delay
But I was loading every loss
Into something that would stay
네 기준은 너무 얕아
Mine were buried underground
If it stands when storms arrive
That’s how you know it’s sound
Hands rough, spine straight
No shortcut in my frame
If I lead, it’s ‘cause I carried
Every weight that earned my name
⸻
[BREAK – FULL STOP]
Say it clearly now.
⸻
[CHORUS – SINGLE APPEARANCE, DECLARATION]
This is a BUILT IN. EMPIRE
No gates, no borrowed fire
Not inherited, not admired
I became what I required
From the ground up, under pressure
Every flaw made it better
If it lasts, remember why—
This is a BUILT IN. EMPIRE
⸻
[AFTERMATH – QUIET, CONTROLLED]
No parade.
No throne.
Still standing.
Still my own.
Style
hard heavy beat built from a fall but picked myself back up more a empire sound royal and high
