Born to Lose Empire Cast (Ft. Jussie Smollett, Sean Cross & Yazz)

[Verse 1: Sean Cross]
I got my hands in the air, officer don't shoot
Told 'em I couldn't breathe, then he gave me the boot
Cause they be givin' the time, but never gave me the loot
They got my back to the wall, so what a brotha' goin' do?
Took a couple of L's, they say a try is a fail
It's either put on the mask, or throw the work on the scale
Times done change, but I can't e'en tell
It's only two ways to go, it's goin' be freedom or jail
They gave Lucious a case, and he couldn't even bail
Judge gave him a option, go to trial or tell
Now he sittin' in prison, while the Governor fishin'
We gotta' draw up the plan, then accomplish the mission
You put a cat in the corner, he goin' be scratchin' and hissin'
We goin' survive in the ghetto, cause the people ain't livin'
So how a leader goin' lead, if he ain't got the vision?
I had a dream in my head, I gotta break outta' prison
Oh Lord!

Introducing Jamal Lyons!

[Hook: Jussie Smollett]
I wanna live, I wanna live my life today
Make a better way for me and you
When the sun woke up, I got on my knees to pray
Let the injustice be solved and mended today
Do you live for the lo-ove?
Do you live for the hate? Ohh
It's like you make it, then they take it
And you can't get it back, o-oh!
Do you believe in the creator?
Do you even know anymore?
It's like you make it, then they take it
And you can't get it back, o-oh
