Lyrics You Won't - Empire Cast, Jussie Smollett

You Won't

Dream of an innocent world
For every boy and girl
trying killing me
If there’s a God, can you can hear me?
So much drama in the day
Whether you’re black or gay
When the odds are against me
I’m still alive, don’t you fail me
I won’t let my head fall to the ground (no, oh, woah)
You won’t see my smile turned inside out (no)
Cause you won’t bring me down
I won’t be pulled down
You won’t push me out
You won’t, you won’t
Your words can’t kill my joy
My light won’t be destroyed
My love won’t be ignored
And if there’s an eye for an eye
It’ll leave both
Dr. King said it clearly
I know it’s hard, but believe me
If we let go of faith
Love will never win the race (no)
Peace of truth is the healing
Shed your light on your enemy
I will keep my feet up on the ground (yeah)
And when the war rage, I will stand up proud (no)
Cause you can’t kill my pride
My light still gon' shine
My faith will never die
You won’t, you won’t
Your words can’t kill my joy
My light won’t be destroyed
My love won’t be ignored
We are concerned about the graphic content in hip hop music and its impact on
young children.
Some of these lyrics contain very explicit references to
violence, drugs, sex, and the degradation of women, which truly concern us and
the future of our children
Cause you can’t kill my pride
My light still gon' shine (yeah)
My faith will never die
You won’t, you won’t
Your words can’t kill my joy
My light won’t be destroyed
My love won’t be ignored
Cause you can’t kill my pride
My light still gon' shine (I'm still gon' shine)
My faith will never die
You won’t, you won’t
Your words can’t kill my joy
My light won’t be destroyed
My love won’t be ignored
