Empire Cast Conqueror lyrics

feat. Estelle & Jussie Smollett


[Verse 1: Jussie Smollett]
Life is like a big merry go round
You're up and then down
Goin' in circles, tryin' to get to where you are
Everybody's been counting you out
But where are they now?
Sittin' in the same ole' place, just faces in the crowd

[Bridge]
Well, we all make mistakes
You might fall on your face
But you gotta get up

[Chorus: Both]
I'd rather stand tall
Than live on my knees
Cause I am a conqueror
And I won't accept defeat
Try tellin' me no
One thing about me
Is I am a conqueror
I am a conqueror
Oh

[Verse 2: Estelle]
Got a vision that no one else sees
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves
Remember there's a war out there, so come prepared to fight
You never know where the road will lead you
Not everyone's gonna believe ya'
And even though they're wrong, don't prove 'em right

[Chorus: Both (Jussie Smollett)]
I'd rather stand tall (tall)
Than live on my knees (can't live on my knees)
Cause I am a conqueror
And I won't accept defeat
Try tellin' me no (no)
One thing about me (one thing about me)

Is I am a conqueror
I am a conqueror
Oh

Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
I am a conqueror

[Bridge: Estelle (Jussie Smollett)]
We all make mistakes
You might fall on your face
But you gotta get up (oh)

[Together]
We all make mistakes
You might fall on your face

Don't ever give up

[Chorus: Both]
I'd rather stand tall (whoo, ooo, ooo)
Than live on my knees (than live on my knees)
Cause I am a conqueror (I am a conqueror)
And I won't accept defeat (and I won't accept defeat)
Try tellin' me no (try tellin' me no)
One thing about me (said one thing about me)
Is I am a conqueror (I am a conqueror)
I am a conqueror (yeah)
Oh

Ooo ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo ooo
I am a conqueror
Oh, no

[Outro: Estelle]
We all make mistakes
You might fall on your face
But I am a conqueror
