Freedom

(Jussie Smollett)

I wanna love somebody, everybody
Can't nobody tell me how to love
I wanna touch on somebody, gimme body
Everybody calls it love or lust
I call it

[Chorus]
Freedom
Grab someone you want
Freedom
Dancing in the dark
Freedom
Can you feel the rush?
It's called freedom, freedom

It's a new generation, welcome to modern love
It's a revolution, do what we want just because
I got a brand new perspective
I don't really give a damn who knows
So put your hands on my Versace
Cause I wanna feel you up under my clothes

I wanna love somebody, everybody
Can't nobody tell me how to love
I wanna touch, oh, somebody, gimme body
Everybody calls it love or lust
I call it

Freedom
Grab someone you want
Singin' freedom
Dancing in the dark
Freedom
Can you feel the rush?
It's called freedom, freedom
Come get you some
Anything you want
Pick it up, pick it up

I'ma be honest, I'm lovin' this feelin' I found
I'm youg and I'm fun if you 'bout it I'll take you downtown
No disrespect but I bet I can make you proud
So come and take a seat in my new Panamera
Don't mind if I show you around

Crown

(Jamila Velazquez, Raquel Castro, and Yani Marin)

[Chorus]
You can try and take my crown
But I will never let my kingdom down
When I put it on it's on for real
Damn I wear it so well
I know that they're comin' for my throne
But I'm the one who got there on my own
When I put it on it's on for real
Damn I wear it so well

I can still feel your eyes on me like a spotlight
You held me up, up, so high, so tell me was it all lies?
Everything that I've done has got me where I wanna be
So baby why'd you have to leave? Oh, oh

When you got the world in your hands
Seems like everyone wants you to fail
It's like I've got a target on my back
Take a shot at me, take a shot for me

[Chorus]
You can try and take my crown
But I will never let my kingdom down
When I put it on it's on for real
Damn I wear it so well
I know that they're comin' for my throne
But I'm the one who got there on my own
When I put it on it's on for real
Damn I wear it so well

I can see all their hands reaching out to touch me
Everyone wants a piece just so they judge me
I thought I had your heart, but you let me down
And left me standing all alone
But I'ma still put on a show

When you got the world in your hands
Seems like everyone wants you to fail
It's like I've got a target on my back
Take a shot at me, take a shot for me

[Chorus]
You can try and take my crown
But I will never let my kingdom down
When I put it on it's on for real
Damn I wear it so well
I know that they're comin' for my throne
But I'm the one who got there on my own
When I put it on it's on for real
Damn I wear it so well

Good People

(Jussie Smollett and Yazz)

Sometimes it's hard to pray
Sometimes it's hard to stay grateful
It's painful, hurts so bad
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Gets hard to keep goin'
We keep holdin' on to what could have been

[Hook]
But we'll get by
We'll see the light
In the morning
It's gonna be alright
The circumstance
Is in the plan
Even if we don't fully understand
Why the bad things happen to the good people

Sometimes it's hard to pray
I know sometimes it's hard to be patient
Ooh I hate it
Yeah it hurts so bad
Sometimes it's hard to believe
So hard to keep goin'
We keep holdin' on to what could have been

[ Yazz]
So much pain
It’s still a lesson
Sometimes it rains
It’s still a blessing
You never see the silver lining
In the cloud
And so you doubt it
You never know how much you truly have
Until you go without it
One day its gonna turn into another season
Your gonna see that
All your tragedy
You had was for another reason
Its just a temporary goodbye
So ya gotta keep ya head high
The rain is coming down and its pouring
But joy is gonna come inside the morning

[Hook]
But we’ll get by
(Bye)
We’ll see the light
(Yeah)
In the morning its gonna be alright
(It’s gon be ok baby)
The circumstance
(The lord got ya)
Is in the plan
(And I gotcha)
Even if we don’t fully understand
Why the bad things
Happen to the good people

Like My Daddy

(Jussie Smollett)

Wooah
Oooh
Wooah
(Guess what)

[Hook]
People tell me I’m just like my daddy
People tell me I’m just like my daddy
People tell me I’m just like my daddy
My daddy
Cause I lie like I’m lying on a rug
Get my hands a lil dirty, no gloves
Everybody welcome to the gun show
And it go
Everybody duck down

It’s hard to love the devil, he’s a hater
A dirty hypocrite, manipulator
Made a mama lose her kids
Let her go away for seventeen years
Not allowed to shed a tear
Growing up with all your, phobic fears

[Hook]
But people tell me I’m just like my daddy
People tell me I’m just like my daddy
People tell me I’m just like my daddy
Oh really, hell nah (no way, no way)
Cause I lie like I’m lying on a rug
Did some crime even wore some black gloves
Everybody welcome to the gun show
And we go (daddy)
Everybody duck down

You reek of royalty, a dangerous mix
You sing of loyalty, but you the snitchin ass bitch
I tried to play it cool
Funny what the people do for
Money power and the fame
I’d call ya Mr. Lyon
If I did I would be lyin’
Cause that ain’t even your name

[Hook]
But people tell me I’m just like my daddy
People tell me I’m just like my daddy
They all say that you look just like your daddy

Shine On Me

(Jussie Smollett and Bre-Z)

[Intro: Jussie Smollett]
Oh, it's merciless the grind
Sometimes we turn to crime
But the sun will always shine, yeah
It's merciless the grime
Sometimes we turn to crime
But the sun will always shine, yeah

[Jussie Smollett]
Oh father, father can you hear me?
Can you hear your children crying? Can you see their tears?
To feed the ones you hold so dear
Somebody dying, and no survive, story of my life right, hey
Look at me, really look at me
Heart of a champion, eyes that have seen
Murder on my street, death on my block
Cops that be more criminal than cop
Daddy a cape in, mama a hustler
What would my goal be? Who is it up to?
Me and just me, doing it my way
'Til I see sunrays, hey

[Chorus: Jussie Smollett]
The sun will always shine, sun will always shine
Sun will always shine on me
So even if it's crime, I'm taking care of mine
The sun will always shine on me, shine on me

[Bre-Z]
I see 1 shot, 2 shot, 3 shot, 4
Daddy I can't take no more
I'm sick of watching windows 'fore I walk out the door
I know that's not what I'm here for, it's a brighter day
These bars sit with the Lord, he know my story
I'mma tell it all and live large before I'm 40
Frank Gathers, this your daughter, everybody know
I could light this spliff but everybody blow it
The impact, I did that
I'mma take this and sit back
And watch the chips that you digged at
We started from the bottom, you gotta know the sun is always shining

[Chorus: Jussie Smollett]
The sun will always shine, sun will always shine
Sun will always shine on me
So even if it's crime, I'm taking care of mine
The sun will always shine on me, shine on me

[Jussie Smollett & Bre-Z]
Sun will always shine on me, yeah, sun will always shine on me
It's merciless the grind, sometimes you turn to crime
But you gotta keep your head up
Don't look down, don't ever give up
Cause the sun gon' shine through any weather
It's merciless the grind, sometimes you turn to crime
But baby keep your head up
Don't look down, don't ever give up
Cause the sun gon' shine through any weather

[Jussie Smollett]
So even if it's crime, I'm taking care of mine
So the sun will always shine on me, shine on me
The sun will always shine, sun will always shine
Sun will always shine on me
So even if it's crime, I'm taking care of mine
The sun will always shine on me, shine on me

Got That Work

(Yazz)

[Intro]
She got me so good right now
I'm feeling so good right now
I can give you what you want baby
I'mma even let you take it all baby

I waited my turn, I put in that work
I buried these niggas, put them in the dirt
I run the Empire, the power is mine
Take over the game, I put that on my mom
You ain't wasting my time, ain't wasting my time is wasting my money
Got back on my grind, do this on my own, they know I got work in
Know I'mma shine, I hear ya hidden agendas, I'm praying this shit'll offend ya
They all got they hands to the ceiling cause I got that work

[Hook]
Got that work, get 'em Claud
If you want that loud, I can bring the noise
Get a greedy vision just to see ya boy
Brand new foreign car, you should see my toy
Work, got that work, work, got that work
Work, got that work, work, she like work
Work, got that work, work, got that work
Work, got that work, work, she like work

I got this slap from my mother
I put that on my brothers
Catch me out with your lady
I'm in that foreign, no other
Ain't gotta talk about cash, let it rain, it's covered
She just wanna drink and fuck, I told her we are not lovers
For the love of this money, I probably hurt your own family
Got that work, work, work, I know that he understanding me
Any rapper you can find, I bet you he is a fan of me
Claiming he got that crown, I put that in the hands of me
Cause they call me the greatest, I shit on the haters
Going way up like elevators
I'm higher than y'all, flier than y'all, call me sire
Can you do this? Can you do that? Don't like liars

[Hook]
Got that work, get 'em Claud
If you want that loud, I can bring the noise

Work, got that work, work, got that work
Work, got that work, work, she like work

Good Enough (Negrito Remix)

(Jussie Smollett)

I gave you all of me
But it still ain't enough to make you happy
I gave you everything
It still don't measure up
It feels like I walked 5 thousand miles
And didn't even come close
Feels like I try to make you smile
But you don't even care, no

I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
But i keep trying
And you just keep on making me jump through hoops
What do I got to do?

[Chorus]
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
And see that i can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough

I try to show you that I'm strong
Why do I even bother?
Cause it's the same old damn song
And you call yourself a father
Feels like I'm reaching for the stars
But heaven isn't letting me
I wish that I had longer arms
But I know that will never be never be

I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
But i keep trying
And you just keep on making me jump through hoops
What do I got to do?

[Chorus]
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be worth your love
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
And see that i can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough

Chasing The Sky

(Terrence Howard, Jussie Smollett, and Yazz)

[Jussie Smollett]
Open your eyes to what you love to hate
You're up in the sky but you ain't flying straight
Where do I go when I can't go home?
Cause you sold it, and you lost yourself in you are just no more
Take every piece, every piece of me
Whatever you need, my mind is changing
And I can't hide no, but you know where I'll be
Mother

[Hook: Jussie Smollett]
I know
I said I didn't need it, I said I wasn't built for it
But now that I can see it, damn right I really made it for this
Chasing the sky, trying to fly
And now I see
Just why you had to be so hard for me
You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy
Here to the sky, no choice but to fly, so high, so high, so high

[Yazz]
Blood is supposed to be thicker than water is
Nowadays we can't even stomach the thought of it
It's like we can't even get along, who right and who in the wrong?
Too busy pointing fingers like it's politics
I tell you shut up, you tell me be quiet, too much dysfunction
Cut up like we at a riot, kicking and punching
Ain't nobody here to mediate it
And you would think that we wasn't even related
Why are we even throwing blows in the first place?
We fight at cook outs, picnics and birthdays
I tried to give the benefit but in the worst case
You keep on talking smack, you end up with a hurt face
And we tried everything, it's time for plan B
If Bloods and Crips can reconcile, why can't we?
I guess I'm ratchet like my mama and my poppa
I'm chasing the sky and I ain't talking 'bout the vodka, let's fly

[Terrence Howard]
Far from a perfect man
The fights and the lies , I guess you never understand
A mother and father who wanted for you much more than
Life is a slight of hand, if you hate it today
I've a lot for you, if there's one thing that it's true

[Jussie Smollett]
Going all alone, I can't even trust all the people here inside my home
And if you were my brother, then never let it get so wrong
That you turn your back on what we were
Turn your back on me, on your family, no

[Hook: Jussie Smollett]
I know
I said I didn't need it, I said I wasn't built for it
But now that I can see it, damn right I really made it for this
Chasing the sky, trying to fly
And now I see
Just why you had to be so hard for me
You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy
Here to the sky, no choice but to fly, so high, so high, so high

No Competition

(Yazz and Serayah)

[Chorus: Serayah McNeill]
Everybody wants to shine
But they can keep on wishing, cuz ain't no stars made overnight
And ain't no competition (out here), 'petition (out here), 'Petition (out here) x2
I don't see no competition

[Yazz]
Where they at, where they at, I don't see no one
I'm Ray Charles, I'm Stevie Wonder, with a blindfold on
It's getting darker than a bitch out here
Hard as hell to get a pitch out here
Throwing money like I'm rich out here
Drinking liquor like a fish out here
Momma, I wanna be famous
Let them all know what my name is
I gotta make some arrangements
Money come go and it changes
Just to be working the latest
I pray every day like a Christian
Mommy and Daddy and all of my family, I don't see no competition-oh!

[Chorus: Serayah McNeill]
Everybody wants to shine
But they can keep on wishing, cuz ain't no stars made overnight
And ain't no competition (out here), 'petition (out here), 'Petition (out here) x2
I don't see no competition

[Yazz]
Where they at, where they at, I don't see nada
And I got eyes like I'm Fetty Wap, I don't see nothing but dolla's
Bouncing harder than a check out here
Hard as hell to get respect out here
I just wanna be the next out here
They be wanting me to flex out here
Momma, I just wanna make it
Make all the girlies get naked
Make 'em drip drop on the dance floor
Pockets so fat that my pants low
Just to be working the latest
I pray every day like a Christian
Mommy and Daddy and all of my family, I don't see no competition-oh!

[Chorus: Serayah McNeill]
It's a rumble in the jungle underneath the stars
But we ain't going nowhere 'till we win the war
I'm fighting but my back is up against the wall
The bigger that they are, the harder that they fall

[Serayah McNeill and Yazz]
We gotta keep movin', keep movin', it's all to carry on
But Imma dispute it, dispute it, dispute it, the champion
Where they at, where they at, I don't see know one x8

[Chorus: Serayah McNeill]
Everybody wants to shine
But they can keep on wishing, cuz ain't no stars made overnight
And ain't no competition (out here), 'petition (out here), 'Petition (out here) x2
I don't see no competition

Everybody wants to shine (Do your dance baby)
Everybody wants to shine (I ain't your man baby)
Everybody wants to shine (Do your dance baby)
Everybody wants to shine

Hemingway

(Jussie Smollett)

Gonna tell a story of a fello who fell in love
I said that I'd be for you when no one even needs you
Phonetically in my heart
I thought that I would get the last this but now I see I get the best
No one tied my waist, I'm tryna make a statement
The words are coming out my head
At night in my room, I see your smiling eyes
Promise to treat you right, you are my butterfly
You knew I'd be your man, I knew you'd understand
You needed me, I needed you but now just fly

[Chorus]
Hemingway, I'm gonna write that word, I wanna say
I know I loved you from the first day
Don't hold us down and turn the page, it's ours to rule
But it's true that I, I'm gonna keep on loving you

There's been a few times you cried
And even more times than I messing with the wrong crowd
Feeling like a big cloud, thunder hella loud
But suddenly the gods have changed
And now I'm whispering your name
Maybe for you don't make sense, true that we me the change
Sometimes life gets so cold, your fire to your soul
And now I see that you and me, we could grow old
For once it's not a test, I'm living in the past
Just wanna be personally, only be your man

[Chorus]
Hemingway, I'm gonna write that word, I wanna say
I know I loved you from the first day
Don't hold us down and turn the page, it's ours to rule
But it's true that I, I'm gonna keep on loving you

You, oh baby, I'mma keep on loving you
Oh sugar, I'mma keep on loving you
Said oh darling, I'mma keep on loving you
I'mma keep on loving you, keep on loving you
Oh baby, I'mma keep on loving you
Oh sugar, I'mma keep on loving you
Said oh darling, I'mma keep on loving you
I'mma keep on loving you, keep on loving you

[Chorus]
I'm gon' keep on loving you, I'm gon' keep on loving you
I'm gon' keep on loving you, I'm gon' keep on loving you
Said everything's good, just keep on loving you
Said everything's good, just keep on loving you

(Jussie Smollett and Bre-Z)

[Bre-Z & Jussie Smollett]
Said I gotta do, gotta do my own thang
I do my own thang, do my own thang
I gotta do my own thang, do my own thang
Yeah
Can't nobody tell me, can't nobody
Tell me what to do, tell me what to do, can't nobody uh
Everything that I do is me
What you mean we gon' keep it 100?

[Hook: Bre-Z & Jussie Smollett]
New strings to the struggling, making something outta nothing, yeah
Uh, from nothing to something, I do it, I want it, I get it, so I'm getting to it
Doing my own thang, I came this far, it's all me doing what I do
I gotta do my own thang, I gotta do it my way
Doing my own thang, tripping on nobody, making my moves
I gotta do my own thang, yeah I gotta do it my way

[Jussie Smollett]
I ain't heard what they been saying, I'm too busy doing my own thing
In your mouth keeping money, don't even care what my own thinks
Can't nobody understand it cause I got it in my family
But it was never handed to me, I work hard to be what you see

[Hook: Bre-Z & Jussie Smollett]
New strings to the struggling, making something outta nothing, yeah
Uh, from nothing to something, I do it, I want it, I get it, so I'm getting to it
Doing my own thang, I came this far, it's all me doing what I do
I gotta do my own thang, I gotta do it my way
Doing my own thang, tripping on nobody, making my moves
I gotta do my own thang, yeah I gotta do it my way

[Bre-Z & Jussie Smollett]
Yeah, it's been a long time, no flexing, it's been a long grind
I made it through all of these hard times
Go harder so yeah I'm gon' shine
And every time you see me, Freida on the front line
Didn't make it here making apologies
Hate it or love it, do me
No matter what they say
I made it and I did it my way, did it my way

[Hook: Bre-Z & Jussie Smollett]
New strings to the struggling, making something outta nothing, yeah
Uh, from nothing to something, I do it, I want it, I get it, so I'm getting to it
Doing my own thang, I came this far, it's all me doing what I do
I gotta do my own thang, I gotta do it my way
Doing my own thang, tripping on nobody, making my moves
I gotta do my own thang, yeah I gotta do it my way
Doing my own thang, tripping on nobody, making my moves
I gotta do my own thang, yeah I gotta do it my way
Making my own moves
I gotta do my own thang, yeah I gotta do it my way

Turn Around

(Bre-Z)

I wake up in the morning, what I'm thankful for
But you my God, is what I'm thankful for
I could see my life, it flash behind yours
But when I look at you, I'm seeing so much more
I thank God, I could never get enough of this
Now I'm here, they want me, I'm such a lucky bitch
I'm no killer but on me, I'mma clutch the fist
But when I'm with you, know we on a different tip
A different tip, I'm a survivor
You know I been through this, it's like I been through this
Everybody know Freida, she hit the ground and go
You put me in the booth and we tour that for sure
Was a time when I didn't have nothing, you was there for me
Is that a pretender acting just like you care for me?
And you know I never ran, never will homie
I do before I try to to have the bed for me

But this the price you pay when the Devil work
You put your heart with mine, I will never hurt
They burn when the fire's on
It can never affect me or what side I'm on, it don't matter

[Hook]
Just turned my life around, it started today
I'm gonna turn my life around, starting today
Turn it up for a day, gotta get it cause crime pays
I'm gonna turn my life around, starting today

Yeah, and they wonder why I pop for this
I heard he popped my pop, I gotta pop for this
But they don't feel my pain, I'm on wit Pac for this
I'm coming loud from the gutter, I stop for this
Now who you doing for the war boy?
Who you know bring the pain when the war's on?
Ghetto people what they need with the 41
And now I'm thinking you and me could bring it all home
Everybody say that they want the money and they want the fame
If you knew what we did you would say it's a shame
We hurt who we love to stay in the game
We dig up the dirt to jump in the grave

But this the price you pay when the Devil work
You put your heart with mine, I will never hurt
They burn when the fire's on
It can never affect me or what side I'm on, it don't matter

[Hook]
Just turned my life around, it started today
I'm gonna turn my life around, starting today
Turn it up for a day, gotta get it cause crime pays
I'm gonna turn my life around, starting today

Never Let It Die

(Jussie Smollett and Yazz)

Question my passion you question my judgment, question my loyalty
Question my devotion, but the question is what makes you think you can question me
See the music that's flowing through my veins is a gift to me from my family
Don't mess around

You ain't gotta say it, you ain't gotta say it
Feel it in your spirit every time you play it
We become the reason the music survives
Take away the fam and the music dies

[Hook]
We are the ones keeping this alive
Without the family the music dies
Never let the music die, Never let the music die (Never let it die)
Never let the music die, Never let the music die (Never let it die)

You don't understand You don't understand
I am not the man I employ the man
I do not pretend, I do not pretend
I am every single thing I say I am
Music got me feeling like I'm Superman, I'm flying through the air
Looking down on your residence I'm coming down through your speaker
And I know you loving it
If I went away then you would trip where the hell I went ya know I know ya need me
I know you need me, I set the standard cause the standard is what we be
If you approach a Lyon hungry you will see teeth
Nobody messing with the family

You ain't gotta say it, you ain't gotta say it
Feel it in your spirit every time you play it
We become the reason the music survives
Take away the fam and the music dies

[Hook]
We are the ones keeping this alive
Without the family the music dies
Never let the music die, Never let the music die (Never let it die)
Never let the music die, Never let the music die (Never let it die)
