[Intro – Sparse Piano, Deep Breath, Spoken] I don’t announce wins. I don’t argue with doubt. If it’s loud… it’s usually weak. ⸻ [Verse 1 – DMX Calm, Heavy Presence] I don’t move fast, I move exact, Ain’t no wasted steps when you carry weight like that. They still loud, still tryin’ to be seen, I been past that stage— I’m where results speak. I remember nights when noise was hunger, Now silence feel like thunder. I don’t chase eyes, I don’t chase cheers, I built somethin’ solid outta invisible years. They talk power, but it shake when tested, Mine don’t move ‘cause it’s well invested. You don’t hear empires when they grow— You feel ‘em when the ground get low. ⸻ [Hook – Minimal, Mantra-Like] Empire quiet. (yeah) Moves precise. (listen) I don’t need noise when the work done right. Empire quiet. (stand still) Built to last. (fact) If you hear me comin’— I already passed. ⸻ [Verse 2 – Spiritual Authority, No Ego] I ain’t chase crowns, I earned alignment, Faith kept me sharp, pain kept me honest. God don’t rush what He fortify, Some things only grow when nobody watchin’ ‘em rise. I seen loud men fall from attention, Seen quiet builders own dimensions. I chose restraint over reaction, Control over satisfaction. I don’t threaten, I don’t warn, I let consistency transform. When my name spoken, it ain’t hype— It’s recognition of weight. ⸻ [Hook – Slightly Louder, Still Controlled] Empire quiet. (no doubt) No display. (why) I don’t flex power— I arrange. Empire quiet. (listen) No disguise. (facts) When I enter rooms, the temperature decide. ⸻ [Bridge – Spoken, Almost a Benediction] I prayed for strength. God gave me patience. I prayed for power. He gave me restraint. That’s how you know it’s real. ⸻ [Verse 3 – Final Reflection, Legacy Tone] I ain’t rush nothin’, I respected time, Let the process finish what pressure designed. They gon’ call it luck ‘cause they didn’t stay, But luck don’t bleed, and I paid. I don’t argue past versions of me, I outgrow ‘em and let ‘em be. Everything I touched I fortified, So when I step back— it survive. This ain’t the end, it’s the stance I keep, A man at peace with what he built deep. No spotlight, no parade— Just an empire that don’t fade. ⸻ [Final Hook – Bare, Echoing] Empire quiet. Empire still. Empire built on disciplined will. Empire quiet. No applause. If you know… you know. ⸻ [Outro – Piano Fades, One Line] The loudest thing I ever did was survive long enough to move in silence.

EMPIRE QUIET
