Conqueror feat. Estelle and Jussie Smollett - Empire Cast

Life is like a big merry-go-round
You're up and then down
Going in circles trying to get to where you are
Everybody's been counting you out
Where are they now?
Sitting in the same old place
Just faces in the crowd
We all make mistakes
You might fall on your face
But you gotta get up

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

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 leads you
Not everyone's gonna believe you
And even know they're wrong, don't prove them right

[Chorus:]
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 telling me no (no)
One thing about me (one thing about me)
Is I am a conqueror
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh (Ooh oh)
I am a conqueror!

We all make mistakes
You might fall on your face
But you gotta get up
We all make mistakes
You might fall on your face
Don't ever give up

[Chorus:]
I'd rather stand tall (oooh)
Than live on my knees (can't 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 telling me no (try telling me no)
One thing about me (one thing about me)
Is I am a conqueror (is I am a conqueror)
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh (Ooh oh)
I am a conqueror!

We all make mistakes
You might fall on your face
But I am a conqueror
