Lyrics Born to Win - Empire Cast, Jussie Smollett

Born to Win

Feel the heat when I ignite my fire
Feel the freeze when my heart turns cold
These chains can’t hold me back no longer
Right now, I’m here to free my soul
When I’m up, I see the world much higher
When I’m down, I don’t feel so low
I dust the dirt off my shoulder
Stay up, 'cause that’s all I know
Sacrifice, determination
Ready for the world to see
Hey, hey, can’t nothing stop me now
Hey, I hope there’s no one in my way
Through my way, struggle and pain
Born to win like
Hey, hey, can’t nothing stop me now
Hey, I hope there’s no one in my way
Through my way, struggle and pain
Born to win
What don’t kill you, makes you stronger
What don’t break you, makes you harder
Better them before the tears erupt
Confused 'cause I’m a fighter
What don’t kill you, makes you stronger
What don’t break you, makes you harder
Better them before the tears erupt
Confused 'cause I’m a fighter
Can’t stop me now once I get started
No foul could take me off my game
I see no competition
It’s clear, we are not the same
Today, she causes interruption
I trying just to clear my mind
I feel the pay off is coming
I’m certain that it’s my time
Sacrifice, determination
Ready for the world to see now, now, now
Hey, hey, can’t nothing stop me now
Hey, I hope there’s no one in my way
Through my way, struggle and pain
Born to win like
Hey, hey, can’t nothing stop me now
Hey, I hope there’s no one in my way
Through my way, struggle and pain
Born to win
What don’t kill you, makes you stronger
What don’t break you, makes you harder
Better them before the tears erupt
Confused 'cause I’m a fighter
What don’t kill you, makes you stronger
What don’t break you, makes you harder
Better them before the tears erupt
Confused 'cause I’m a fighter
(Don't give up now) Don’t give up now
(Keep holding on) Keep holding on
(Let's show the world) Let’s show the world
(I'm ready) I’m so ready
(Don't give up now) Don’t give up now
(Keep holding on) Keep holding on
(Let's show the world) Let’s show this world
(Get ready) Get ready
(Don't give up now) Hey, hey, can’t nothing stop me now
(Keep holding on) Hey, I hope there’s no one in my way
(Let's show the world) Through my way, struggle and pain
(I'm ready) Born to win like
(Don't give up now) Hey, hey, can’t nothing stop me now
(Keep holding on) Hey, I hope there’s no one in my way
(Let's show the world) Through my way, struggle and pain
(I'm ready) Born to win
What don’t kill you, makes you stronger
What don’t break you, makes you harder
Better them before the tears erupt
Confused 'cause I’m a fighter
What don’t kill you, makes you stronger
What don’t break you, makes you harder
Better them before the tears erupt
Confused 'cause I’m a fighter
'Cause I’m a fighter
