Empire Cast - Simple Song Lyrics






[Jussie Smollett:]
Oh, this is just a simple song
About everything I've lost
And everything that I've found again

[Rumer Willis:]
Now, I ain't been livin' long
What I'm seeing has been so far
Away from what I was brought up in

[Jussie Smollett:]
Why have I been fakin' for
When it's hard enough to be in this world
Who we truly are, truly are

[Rumer Willis:]
I was so used to livin' wrong
But now I know it ain't nothin'
'Cept a simple song

[Jussie Smollett:]
See I, done hid for years, y'all, yeah yeah

[Rumer Willis:]
But I'm so done hidin'

[Jussie Smollett:]
And if I were you, I would find the time to find myself

[Rumer Willis:]
Cause you don't know what life will do
What life will do

[Jussie Smollett:]
Oh, but this is still a simple song
Of how hard this life could be
When you have nothing that you're living for, living for

[Rumer Willis:]
You can sing along, cause I know you've been there
And your lovin', lovin' here

[Jussie Smollett:]
Oh, I need you to sing along, oh

[Both:]
On this simple, this simple, song
