Empire
Empire:
Onassis Krown Lifestyle Fashion Brand in partnership with A.L.I.A.S. & Worldz Finest Enterprises brings you this smooth hip-hop track with a heavy-bass R&B vibe.
Empires aren't inherited. They're envisioned, engineered, and built.
Empire finds A.L.I.A.S. thinking beyond money, status, and short-term success toward something far greater: ownership, influence, power, and legacy.
Drawing inspiration from the great civilizations and empire builders of history, the record explores the mindset behind building something designed to outlive its creator. From strategy and knowledge to discipline, calculated risk, and execution, A.L.I.A.S. approaches success not simply as a hustle—but as an architecture.
With commanding lyricism and cinematic hip-hop production, Empire bridges ancient wisdom with modern ambition. The kings, pharaohs, emperors, scholars, merchants, and strategists of the past understood that lasting power required more than riches. It required vision, organization, knowledge, and the ability to turn resources into something greater.
Now the setting is different.
The kingdoms have become corporations. Trade routes have become global markets. Territory has become real estate, intellectual property, brands, technology, media, and ownership.
But the objective remains the same:
Build something that lasts.
Empire is the soundtrack for anyone who isn't satisfied with simply making a living—they're trying to build a legacy.
Study the past. Master the present. Build your Empire.

"Empire" Song Lyrics:
Intro:
Savages become Generals.
Generals become Kings.
Kings become Emperors.Emperors either become gods…
or fallen angels…
Verse 1:
Came from the mud where the hunger was law
Nights had a price, every win had a cost
Learned how to move when the lines got crossed
Built it from nothin’, now I am the bossBrick after brick, I was stackin’ the vision
Pain in my chest, I converted to mission
Loss after loss turned a man to a villain
Now they all watchin’, I turned to religionCity on lock, every block got a signal
Moves in silence, I don’t speak what I been through
Eyes on the throne, I could see what they into
Smile in your face but they prayin’ against youI don’t trust love, I done seen what it do
Turn a day one to a stranger in view
Built me a circle that’s smaller than few
When you at the top, ain’t nobody but youHook:
Built an empire, forged in fire!
Built an empire, born by desire!
Built an empire, others admire!
The world is mine but there’s more to acquireBuilt an empire, top supplier!
Built an empire, sole survivor!
Built an empire, taking me higher!
I’m untouchable but darkness conspires!Verse 2:
Power got weight, I can feel it in breathin’
Room full of kings but they all got a reason
Some want the crown, some just want what you keepin’
Some want the story, some plot while you sleepin’Deals in the dark where the hands don’t shake right
Smiles too wide, I can tell that it ain’t right
Built me a legacy stronger than daylight
Still got a feelin’ I’m losin’ the same fightLaws get rewritten when money involved
Eyes in the sky, now the feds gettin’ calls
People you fed now got hands in your vaults
Everyone eatin’ but wantin’ it allThis what it is when you rise too fast
Cheers turn whispers, the love don’t last
Toast to the future, I drink to the past
King for a moment… but moments don’t lastHook:
Built an empire, forged in fire!
Built an empire, born by desire!
Built an empire, others admire!
The world is mine but there’s more to acquireBuilt an empire, top supplier!
Built an empire, sole survivor!
Built an empire, taking me higher!
I’m untouchable but darkness conspires!Verse 3:
Palace feel colder the higher I climb
Air get thin when you live in the sky
Room full of faces but none of ’em mine
Talkin’ in codes, I can see through the linesWho do I trust when the crown got a price
Every salute got a blade on the side
Some want the throne, some just want a slice
Some want the fall so they watchin’ me riseVoice in the night keep tellin’ me slow
Hands on my head like she prayin’ for my soul
Sayin’ slow down… I ain’t listen though
Can’t hear love when ambition on goI gave ‘em all purpose, I gave ‘em direction
Now they access leads to weaker protection
Empire built… but there’s more insurrection
And I can’t help feelin’ karma’s comin’ for collectionHook:
Built an empire, forged in fire!
Built an empire, born by desire!
Built an empire, others admire!
The world is mine but there’s more to acquireBuilt an empire, top supplier!
Built an empire, sole survivor!
Built an empire, taking me higher!
I’m untouchable but darkness conspires!Outro:
Lord…
This is what we feared.
The lust for power…
has silenced the others.It now rules… without opposition.
The war within… is over.
And the victor…
is the most dangerous of them all.
Now…
no guardian angel…
can protect him… from himself.Another life… is another story.
