"Shine On Me"
(performed by Jussie Smollett & Bre-Z)
(from "Empire: Original Soundtrack Season 2 Volume 2" soundtrack)



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

Oh father, father can you hear?
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 kingpin, mama a hustler
What am I gonna be? Who is it up to?
Me and just me, doing it my way
'Til I see sunrays, hey

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'm a 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'm a 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

[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

Copy that
One of thousand
Copy that
Let's go get 'em
Turn the beat up (shut up)
Big money (shut up, shut up)
They call me Hakeem, triple beam
Money green Lyon
If you ain't from my team, need to be quiet
Give me that money and run it
I punched you right in the stomach
I only keep it one hundred
I'm aimin' it right at your head like a
This the theme song, beat on my chest King Kong
Tell me what the hell is your empire without me to lean on?
Nowadays I'm way way way way too far gone to phone home
Nowadays I'm way way way, wait a minute hold on, hold on
Shut up, trick
Shut up, trick
Shut up, shut up
Shut up, trick
Ay, shut up trick, that mean don't talk
Don't call me, my phone's off
I'm good now, that's your loss
I'm self made, my own boss
Who's trippin', my roof missin'
My jewel's glistening, who's listenin'?
You heard that?
My new whip got two inches, that's too expensive
Lower your voice cause I don't wanna hear what you're sayin'
I'm tired of talkin', ain't no converstion, hope you understand
I dont like you you you you, you're cool
But the rest of y'all
Shut up, trick
Shut up, trick (here we go, here we go)
Shut up, bitch
Shut up, trick
Shut up, shut up

"Simple Song"
(feat. Jussie Smollett & Rumer Willis)



[Jussie Smollett:]
Oh, this is just a simple song
About everything I've lost
And everything that I've found again
[Rumer Willis:]
Now, I ain't been livin' long
What I'm seeing has been so far
Away from what I was brought up in
[Jussie Smollett:]
Why have I been fakin' for
When it's hard enough to be in this world
Who we truly are, truly are
[Rumer Willis:]
I was so used to livin' wrong
But now I know it ain't nothin'
'Cept a simple song
[Jussie Smollett:]
See I, done hid for years, y'all, yeah yeah
[Rumer Willis:]
But I'm so done hidin'
[Jussie Smollett:]
And if I were you, I would find the time to find myself
[Rumer Willis:]
Cause you don't know what life will do
What life will do
[Jussie Smollett:]
Oh, but this is still a simple song
Of how hard this life could be
When you have nothing that you're living for, living for
[Rumer Willis:]
You can sing along, cause I know you've been there
And your lovin', lovin' here
[Jussie Smollett:]
Oh, I need you to sing along, oh
[Both:]
On this simple, this simple, song

"Snitch Bitch"
(performed by Terrence Howard & Petey Pablo)
(from "Empire: Original Soundtrack Season 2 Volume 1" soundtrack)



Streets are watching, eyes are on me
Closest to me done switched up on me
Days are longin', nights are lonely
It's betta than knowin' cause
Now I have know it bet'

Whooo, sittin' back, reminiscin'
Of how I used to get down and dirty with ya
I pull up on a hot block and come and get ya
With a pistol cocked to handle all issues
But never would I thought in a million wishes
After all we stood for you would start snitchin'
I disregarded lessons that were shared with me
Cuz I was taught I'm not supposed to trust any
It's hard to see the frame when you're in the picture
But now the picture's faded, bitch - I'm done witcha
So gon' head, handle yo business
And here I am cause I come into business

Streets are watching, eyes are on me
Closest to me done switched up on me
Days are longin', nights are lonely
It's betta than knowin' cause
Now I have know it bet'
You ain't nothin' but a snitch, bitch
Snitchin' ass bitch
Snitch Bitch
Snitchin' ass bitch
And you know it
You know it
I know it
And you know I know it

Blood is thicker than water, the people say
I say people say whatever you pay 'em to say
And some will say whatever just to have something to say
You done said it wi'cha please get the hell on yo way
I'll never trust another single one of yo'
coz trust is just something you just don't get involved
Back stabbing bitch's get you knocked off
Classified information being passed off
They doin' deals, they at the round table
Pen and a pad, they making wild statements
Forget your allegations and yo investigations
I knew this day was coming, I've be patiently waitin'

Streets are watching, eyes on me
Closest to me done switched up on me
Days are longin', nights are lonely
It's betta than knowin' cause
Now I have know it bet'
You ain't nothin' but a snitch, bitch
Snitchin' ass bitch
Snitch Bitch
Snitchin' ass bitch
And you know it
You know it
I know it
And you know I know it

Temperatures in the 100's, hot as hell at this moment
Everything looks suspicious, coming around these corners
A Man want it, you can play around if you wanna
Ain't no safety, ain't no holster, and my hands is on it
now I ain't goin' as easy as you think Im'a go
Now Im'a lay low fo' a minute, then I'm coming for those
that decided to cross a road and roll with the wrong folks
like playing the grand piano but tapping the wrong notes
Clyde told me "Keep your eyes open for them jealous hittas"
Clyde told me " keep your head low coz they taking pictures"
My Partner Clyde told me "when they try to convince you they chillin wi'ch you pay very close attention
My Hitta, My Hitta, My Hitta

Snitch Bitch
Snitchin' ass bitch
Snitch Bitch
Snitchin' ass bitch
And you know it
You know it
I know it
And you know I know it.

You ain't nothing but a snitch bitch
Snitch Bitch
When they try to convince you they chillin wi'cha pay very close attention
My Hitta, My Hitta, My Hitta

"So What"
(performed by Jussie Smollett)



So what, I'm gay, it don't matter.
God ain't made you no better than me.
When I pray, he still answers.
Maybe you need to get on your knees.
No weapon shall prosper, no weapon shall prosper.
Your sin ain't no better than my sin, your skin ain't no better than my skin.
So point all the fingers you want...bitch.

"Sorry Just Don't Cut It"
(performed by Jussie Smollett)



I ain't getting no sleep.
I be all in my head.
Why do I feel guilty?
Guilty of my success. Oh.
I ain't getting no sleep.
No I'm making much bread.
I would spend it all to be able to call you
And talk about nothing at all.
I can't lay my head down,
Can't close my eyes.
Cause all I see is you now
Asking me why?
(Why, why)
Why did I let you down?
(Why did I let you down)
Why you don't come around?
Why you don't come around no more?
You acting funny now that you rolled up
I'd say it wasn't true if it wasn't
And saying sorry just don't cut it.
(Cut it)
Just don't cut it.
(Cut it)
And saying sorry just don't cut it.
(Cut it)
Just don't.
(Just don't)
Just don't.
(Just don't)
I would apologize, ooh
But would it even matter?
See the way things are
We've gone too far
To go back now, does it?
And sorry just don't cut it.
No matter what you do
They gone judge it.
Every hater conversation
You the subject.
Did my thang, and I went from low budget to no budget.
And I should be proud of myself.
I should be proud of my wealth.
But when I give you the crown
You turn around.
You don't see nobody else.
But I puts it in perspective.
All the things that you neglected.
Something that you wish you said
Now you just can't remember what was it
And saying sorry just don't cut it.
(Cut it)
Just don't cut it.
(Cut it)
And saying sorry just don't cut it.
(Cut it)
Just don't.
(Just don't)
Just don't)
(Just don't)
I would apologize, ooh,
But would it even matter?
See the way things are
We've gone too far
To go back now, does it?
And saying sorry just don't cut it.
(Cut it, cut it)

This for my queens around the globe
How many girls going bad? You'll never know

Uh, hate to be the one to admit it, but I'm the one to live without flaw
Disrespected women, tryna get 'em outta they draws
Instead of bringin' 'em down, we should be bringin' them all
I hold my fist to the sky and pray we keepin' buildin' up
This the war that could touch the mothers, sisters and daughters
I got one of my own, so I gotta keep it in order
I gotta put on for Bella until I'm restin' in memory
Be a better father to my daughter, know she depend on me
Don't get it confused, this ain't about black or white
Red or blue, as men, we should know how to move
Protect our women, don't lie, cheat and stress our women
I love my women, this ain't the end, it's just beginnin'

All them times when I'm cold and I need you
Never turn me down when I need you
Always around when I need you
That's why I love you
Woman, we all came from a woman
So be as strong as you could be
Be as strong as you could be, yeah

Slow down, baby, slow down, baby

How many girls going bad? You'll never know, yeah, yeah
This for my queens around the globe
How many girls going bad? You'll never know

My foolish ways I was young and dumb
I had to smarten up, I knew that this day would come
Embrace the fact that my mama brought me in this world
And for that, I made a promise, I'll give her the world
Get well Kennedy
I take full responsibility for you gettin' hurt, it wasn't supposed to be
Yeah, it would hurt if it was someone that was close to me
Sometimes I let my feelings get the most of me
Sometimes it be those demons that's approachin' me
That made me had those reckless ways
Went through my trials and tribulations, I got out the maze
Hope for power for our women, bow our heads and pray

All them times when I'm cold and I need you
Never turn me down when I need you
Always around when I need you
That's why I love you
Woman, we all came from a woman
So be as strong as you could be
Be as strong as you could be, yeah

Slow down, baby, slow down, baby
It's all love, I got enough to go 'round, baby
And I'll be there for you if it go down, baby
I'll be your life saver, you'll never drown, baby
Yo, this for my queens around the globe

"Starlight"
(performed by Serayah)



Where there is smoke, there is a fire
Burning my heart, oh
If they only know, you're my desire
The world would put an end to us

I'll ride in the night
On the back of your bike
With my hands, my hands to the sky
So fast we could fly
Lets leave it behind
So alive I ain't scared anymore

Hand and hand we run, hiding from the sun under your starlight (Starlight)
Til the break of day, my body should stay under your starlight (Starlight)
Under starlight, lets ride, fast life, tonight
Under starlight, so bright, fast life, tonight

We're just too high, sipping on something
Its stronger than us
People will try, try to deny us
They never felt this type of love

I'll ride in the night
On the back of your bike
With my hands, my hands to the sky
So fast we could fly
Lets leave it behind
So alive I ain't scared anymore

Hand and hand we run, hiding from the sun under your starlight (Starlight)
Til the break of day, my body should stay under your starlight (Starlight)
Under starlight, lets ride, fast life, tonight
Under starlight, so bright, fast life, tonight

Run fast don't look back babe (Starlight)
Look past out of our way (Starlight)
Run fast don't look back babe (Starlight)
Look past out of our way (Starlight)

Hand and hand we run, hiding from the sun under your starlight
Til the break of day, my body should stay under your starlight

"Stronger Than Me"
(performed by Tisha Campbell, Opal Staples & Melanie McCullough)
(originally by Amy Winehouse)



You should be stronger than me
You've been here seven years longer than me
Don't you know you supposed to be the man?
Not pale in comparison to who you think I am
You always want to talk it through, I don't care
I always have to comfort you when I'm there
But that's what I need you to do, stroke my hair
'Cause I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy

You should be stronger than me
But instead you're longer than frozen turkey
Why'd you always put me in control
All I need is for my man to live up to his role
Always want to talk it through, I'm okay
Always have to comfort you, every day
But that's what I need you to do, are you gay?
'Cause I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy

He said "the respect I made you earn
Thought you had so many lessons to learn"
I said "You don't know what love is get a grip
Sounds as if you're reading from some other tired script"
I'm not gonna meet your mother anytime
I just want to grip your body over mine
Please tell me why you think that's a crime
'Cause I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, and you my lady boy

You should be stronger than me
You should be stronger than me
You should be stronger than me
You should be stronger than me
You should be stronger than me
You should be stronger than me
You should be stronger than me
