Album: Empire: Original Soundtrack Season 2 Volume 2 (2016)

Turn Around

I wake up in the morning, what I'm thankful for
But you my God, is what I'm thankful for
I could see my life, it flash behind yours
But when I look at you, I'm seeing so much more
I thank God, I could never get enough of this
Now I'm here, they want me, I'm such a lucky bitch
I'm no killer but on me, I'mma clutch the fist
But when I'm with you, know we on a different tip
A different tip, I'm a survivor
You know I been through this, it's like I been through this
Everybody know Freida, she hit the ground and go
You put me in the booth and we tour that for sure
Was a time when I didn't have nothing, you was there for me
Is that a pretender acting just like you care for me?
And you know I never ran, never will homie
I do before I try to to have the bed for me

But this the price you pay when the Devil work
You put your heart with mine, I will never hurt
They burn when the fire's on
It can never affect me or what side I'm on, it don't matter

[Hook:]
Just turned my life around, it started today
I'm gonna turn my life around, starting today
Turn it up for a day, gotta get it cause crime pays
I'm gonna turn my life around, starting today

Yeah, and they wonder why I pop for this
I heard he popped my pop, I gotta pop for this
But they don't feel my pain, I'm on wit Pac for this
I'm coming loud from the gutter, I stop for this
Now who you doing for the war boy?
Who you know bring the pain when the war's on?
Ghetto people what they need with the 41
And now I'm thinking you and me could bring it all home
Everybody say that they want the money and they want the fame
If you knew what we did you would say it's a shame
We hurt who we love to stay in the game
We dig up the dirt to jump in the grave

But this the price you pay when the Devil work
You put your heart with mine, I will never hurt
They burn when the fire's on
It can never affect me or what side I'm on, it don't matter

[Hook:]
Just turned my life around, it started today
I'm gonna turn my life around, starting today
Turn it up for a day, gotta get it cause crime pays
I'm gonna turn my life around, starting today
