You Won't - Empire Cast, Jussie Smollett

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
