Born to Lose - Empire Cast/Sean Cross/Swizz Beatz/Jussie Smollett/Yazz
I got my hands in the air
Officer don't shoot
Told them I couldn't breathe
Then he gave me the boot
Cause they be giving the time
But never gave me the loot
They got my back to the wall
So what a brotha going do
Took a couple of l's
They say a try is a fail
It's either put on the mask
Or throw the work on the scale
Times done change
But I can't even tell
It's only two ways to go
It's going be freedom or jail
They gave lucious a case
And he couldn't even bail
Judge gave him a option
Go to trial or tell
Now he sitting in prison
While the governor fishing
We gotta draw up the plan
Then accomplish the mission
You put a cat in the corner
He going be scratching and hissing
We going survive in the ghetto
Cause the people ain't living
So how a leader going lead
If he ain't got the vision
I had a dream in my head
I gotta break outta prison
Oh lord
I wanna live
I wanna live my life today
Make a better way for me and you
When the sun woke up
I got on my knees to pray
Let the injustice
Be solved and mended today
Do you live for the love
Do you live for the hate ohh
It's like you make it
Then they take it
And you can't get it back ooh
Do you believe in the creator
Do you even know anymore
It's like you make it
Then they take it
And you can't get it back ooh
I wanna live
Wanna live my life today
Make a better way for me and you
The sun woke up
I got on my knees to pray
Let the injustice
Be solved and mended today
Do you live for the love
Do you live for the hate ohh
It's like you make it
Then they take it
And you can't get it back oh
Do you believe in the creator
Do you even know anymore
Aye it's like you make it
Then they take it
And you can't get it back oh
No justice no peace
In these troubled times like these
I'm down on one knee
And I'm praying for what I need
So whatever's in that dark
Is going always come to that light
So if you shot him in his back
Two wrongs ain't never made it no right
Tried to test my strength
And I fought with all my might
Took a page out of this chapter
Just to reconcile my life
We hate that lucious going through it
We know that he ain't do it
Let's change for the better
Make the world a better place
United as a people
Be the winners of the race
And never kill the joker
Cause he used to be a ace
It's things outta life
That you just can't replace
Like the sketches to the drawing
That the pencil couldn't trace
Empire
