Powerful (feat. Jussie Smollett and Alicia Keys) - Empire Cast

People been talking about it

We won't just stand here in silence

Can't stop the fire from rising

From rising, oh oh

People don't you be afraid

So many innocents slain

This is an era for change, change

Malcolm's probably turning in his grave

Every shade was beautifully made

I'm powerful

There's so much strength in you and me

Powerful

A breath away from victory

I matter, you matter

We matter all

I matter, you matter

We matter all

Powerful, powerful

I see a colorful future

Where skin don't define any human.

And stars are the only thing shooting, shooting

Mothers who bury their child

How can we sit there and hide

Change comes when all take a stand now

Stand up, stand up

Martin's speech still echoes in my brain

Every shade was beautifully made

I'm powerful

There's so much strength in you and me

Powerful

A breath away from victory

I matter, you matter

We matter all

I matter, you matter

We matter all

Powerful, powerful

Powerful

There's so much strength in you me

Powerful

A breath away from victory

I matter, you matter

We matter all

I matter, you matter

We matter all

Powerful, powerful
