Shine on Me Empire Cast (Ft. Bre-Z & Jussie Smollett)

[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

[Verse 1: Jussie Smollett]
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 gon' 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
