The Empire cast hit the nail on the head with this one! Empire’s Conqueror features Estelle and Jussie Smollett. The duo’s voices match perfectly and this is one of the few songs where Jussie Smollett’s beautiful voice is not lost due to overproduction.
The British singer-songwriter teamed up with the head of Empire Entertainment, Jamal Lyon for this beautiful duet. Additional empire songs lyrics can be found here.

Lyrics
Life is like a big merry-go-round,
You’re up and then down,
Going in circles trying to get to where you are.
Everybody’s been counting you out,
But where are they now?
Sitting in the same old place,
Just faces in the crowd.
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
But you gotta get up
[Chorus]
I’d rather stand tall
Than live on my knees,
‘Cause I am a conqueror,
And I won’t accept defeat
Try telling me no,
One thing about me
Is I am a conqueror,
I am a conqueror
Ooh oh
Got a vision that no one else sees,
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves,
Remember there’s a war out there,
So come prepared to fight
You never know where the road leads you,
Not everyone’s gonna believe you,
And even though they’re wrong, don’t prove them right.
[Chorus]
I’d rather stand tall tall
Than live on my knees can’t live on my knees
‘Cause I am a conqueror
And I won’t accept defeat
Try telling me no no
One thing about me one thing about me
Is I am a conqueror,
I am a conqueror
Ooh oh Ooh oh
I am a conqueror
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
But you gotta get up
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
Don’t ever give up
[Chorus]
I’d rather stand tall oooh
Than live on my knees can’t live on my knees
‘Cause I am a conqueror I am a conqueror
And I won’t accept defeat And I won’t accept defeat
Try telling me no try telling me no
One thing about me one thing about me
Is I am a conqueror is I am a conqueror
I am a conqueror
Ooh oh Ooh oh
I am a conqueror
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
But I am a conqueror oh ooh
