Empire Cast, Fetty Wap and Jussie Smollett - The Father, The Sun (Remix) [Rap]

This is our moment, ain't no holding us back, time to own it, yeah
Shining bright like the morning, it won't be long 'fore the glory is coming, yeah
Come up and rise, I can feel the fire burning up inside
You know I am the one, the father and the son

Look me in my eyes so you watching
Took him by surprise with no warning
It's God's doing, no one planned it
You must understand that your torch, you can hand it off
'Cause I been seeing out your window
Looking at my face like a mirror
Bridging up the clouds just to make a way
Passing through the storms from the rainy day

The sun used to be far away
But now he's right here even though it's in the distance
So you move the earth with your hands
Now I know it's getting hard, I'm first to assist ya
And when you're old and grey
Remember, I'll take care of ya
It is of a virtue, I do what I have to
We gotta let nature take its place

This is our moment, ain't no holding us back, time to own it, yeah
Shining bright like the morning, it won't be long 'fore the glory is coming, yeah
Come up and rise, I can feel the fire burning up inside
You know I am the one, the father and the son
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, father and the son
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, father and the son

Yeah, ayy, young, black brother from the struggle
Mama said I'm prayed, they can't touch ya
Only when you're heaven's high when they all love you
Lookin' in you, smellin' fine when they all hug ya
But baby, I'm a king, ayy, Mike Jordan, fist full of rings
Yeah, champion ahead, I'm Aaliyah
Ayy, I only go to war for the green, yeah
I only show love for my team
Yeah, you know I got my kids, might show you how I live right
We was livin' wrong and now we all livin' right
Comin' where I come from, I'm just tryna live life
Try stick around and make through to my kids life
Feel like I was chosen, somethin' homie, I don't know how
I went from homeless to million dollar homes
First they wasn't on it and now I got 'em on some
They can never clone baby, I was chosen
We was livin' wrong and now we all live right
Comin' where I come from, I'm just tryna live life
Try stick around and make through to my kids life, yeah

This is our moment, ain't no holding us back, time to own it, yeah
Shining bright like the morning, it won't be long 'fore the glory is coming, yeah
Come up and rise, I can feel the fire burning up inside
You know I am the one, the father and the son
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, father and the son
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, father and the son
