All Of The Above

(Jussie Smollett)

This ain't just some crazy sexy love song
And this ain't the goal just to get you in my bed
Say this ain't so I can taste all over your body
And this ain't the goal to just be ?

It's for all of the above
Now we're here making love
It's for all of the above
Now we're here making love

This ain't just so you ?, no
?
See you victim of, and I can't be ?
And you can't ?

It's for all of the above
Now we're here making love
It's for all of the above
And now we're here bringing love

Black & Blue

(V. Bozeman)

What are we fighting for?
Why can't we make love not war?
You beat my heart until you made it
Black and blue
Made it
Black and blue

Whoever thought our love turn domestic?
I've finally had enough
I won't accept it
I can't let you put your hands on me
Be damned if I turned the other cheek

What are we fighting for?
Why can't we make love not war?
You beat my heart until you made it
Black and blue
Made it
Black and blue

All our sticks and stones
Only turn into more
Now we have to go
And cover up another scar
We did more damage than we had
One of us gon end up in jail
And it won't be me

What are we fighting for?
Why can't we make love not war?
You beat my heart until you made it
Black and blue
Made it
Black and blue

Conqueror

(Estelle and Jussie Smollett)

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!
