Jussie Smollett:
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 lo-ove Do you live for the hate Ohh
It's like you make it then they take it And you can't get it back o-oh 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 o-oh
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 lo-ove Do you live for the hate Ohh
It's like you make it then they take it And you can't get it back o-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 Yazz: 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 goin' 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 goin' 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
