Freedom, freedom
Grab someone you want, singing
Freedom, freedom
Dancing in the dark

Tell me, can you feel the rush?
It's called freedom, freedom

(performed by Serayah)
(from "Empire: Original Soundtrack Season 2 Volume 1" soundtrack)



How many girls in the world right now
Who know what I'm talking 'bout?
Had a man who called you pretty at home
But never when he takes you out

Didn't want it, when you had it, admit it
And now you're like a light turned on
Didn't want it, when you had it, I get it
And now you want me back, but I'm gone

And I'm all quiet
I'm like a spark in the darkside
You're like a deer caught in headlights
You got me wrong, but it's alright

Now I'm like oo-oo
See me up in the club, like woo
Don't matter, I ain't worried 'bout you
Cause I left that girl behind

So let me introduce you
To the new and improved, brand new
You didn't want it, when you had it, that's cool
Now I've gone from the 1 to the 2, 2.0

'Duce you
To the new and improved, brand new
You didn't want it, when you had it, that's cool
Now I've gone from the 1 to the 2, 2.0

I was a girl hanging on the side
But now I got that self esteem
I'mma burning phoenix about to rise
And Mama, I done got my wings

Didn't want it, when you had it, admit it
And now you're like a light turned on
Didn't want it, when you had it, I get it
And now you want me back, but I'm gone

And I'm all quiet
I'm like a spark in the darkside
You're like a deer caught in headlights
You got me wrong, but it's alright

Cause now I'm like oo-oo
See me up in the club, like woo
Don't matter, I ain't worried 'bout you
Cause I left that girl behind

So let me introduce you
To the new and improved, brand new
You didn't want it, when you had it, that's cool
Now I've gone from the 1 to the 2, 2.0

'Duce you
To the new and improved, brand new
You didn't want it, when you had it, that's cool
Now I've gone from the 1 to the 2, 2.0

I was a girl hanging on the side
But now I got that self esteem
I was a girl hanging on the side
But now I got that self esteem
I'mma, I'mma

"Good Enough"
(feat. Jussie Smollett)
(from "Original Soundtrack From Season 1 Of Empire" soundtrack)



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 five 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 making me jump through hoops
What do I got to do?

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 making me jump through hoops
What do I got to do?

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

Look at me
I'm standing right here waiting for you, here I am
Look at me
Lookin' for your acceptance, do you give a damn?
Look at me
See it doesn't matter what you think, I'm still a man
Look at me
Open up your eyes, can't you see that I'm good enough

I just want you to look at me
Look at me
I just want you to look at me
And see that I can be
Good enough, good enough
Good enough
I just wanna be, yeah
Good enough, good enough
Good enough

"Good People"
(performed by Jussie Smollett & Yazz)
(from "Empire: Original Soundtrack Season 2 Volume 2" soundtrack)



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
It's hard to keep goin'
We keep holdin' on to what could have been

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

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

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
You're gonna see that
All your tragedy
You had was for another reason
It's 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

But we'll get by
(By)
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
Understand why,
Understand why,
The bad things
Happen to the good people

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

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

Can you do this? Can you do that? Don't like liars

"Hakeem + Blake Battle"
(performed by Yazz & Chet Hanks)



Yeah, uh, uh, yeah, uh

Lord forgive what I'm prepared to do
But if you look me in my eyes, you can see there's a zoo
I mean, I guess growing up in your beach chair was cool
Until a white boy got more street cred than you
You can hear my hunger pains, if we clash to fame
The type to chop your head off just to snatch your chain
Hold up, he thinks he's got the sauce, so he thinks he's swagging on me
Well I pack enough shells to turn your sauce to ravioli
Got to habit, to have it on me
It's magic like pulling rabbits from hats, I'm a hazard homie
I had a tragic and drastic lonely past
But now I got these guys all stressed
Cause I'm coming to collect like the I.R.S.

I'm a lion, you just lying on the oath, that's perjury
All of these diamonds cut around my neck, I need surgery
Emergency
I'ma put this man in the dirt
You just a white boy lost, that's an amber alert
Okay, these next couple words may be very unfamiliar
Cash, coins, guap, money, moola, scratch, skrilla
I'm fresh, cool and fly, jets to Dubai
You belong in the cubicle with dress, shoes and ties
If you run around saying you the best, who am I
If I put you on the guest list, yes you denied
I'm the ruler, I'm the heir, the prince of Zamunda
This is a chest full of treasures versus the cooler full of beers
What's up

Uh, yeah
Okay, I'm going to the top
I'ma never stop
Plus you got the swag of an undercover cop
Or a plumber or an opp
The dude from dumb and dumber
Hold up, no wonder you got the floor covered, you a mop

Stop
How you think we even see even
You got your whole style from a BET season
How you pitiful and sloppy
Miserable and cocky
And I what separates the original from copies

Watch me
Meditate, levitate, you a featherweight
You was never great, I'm a heavyweight
If you hesitate, I'ma educate
You a minute man, just a second late
My crown is a heavyweight
If you put it on, your whole neck will break
And I got next, I expect the hate
