Why Not Lyrics by Empire Cast

Empire: Original Soundtrack From Season 5

2018

[Intro: Yazz]
You know who it is, man
The young prince

[Verse 1: Yazz]
OK, crown got my name on it
Bow to the royal prince
Started in the game, and right now I'm going to finish it
Down, but not limited
Pain is my benefit
When you take the Lyon out the jungle, that is what you get
Rockstar, top charted
Aim and shoot, yeah, this money my target
Been around the globe
Everything I hold, turn it into gold
Watch me shine, watch me grow

[Pre-Chorus: Devon & (Hakeem)]
Come and ride with the mob (Ride)
Boy, you better get up on your dragon
All that cuffing, gotta do it from the side, yeah
Just make sure you don't cross the line when I slide, yeah

[Chorus: Mario, Yazz, Both]
I put it on the line, every dollar, every dime
Why not?
I made it through the fire, came out on the other side
Shout out to my enemies, notice that they into me
Keep that same energy, wondering why I'm winning?
Hey! Why not?
Hey! Why not?
Oooh, ooh, ooh (Yo! Bounce!)
Stop it, no you can't stop it, you know I'm poppin'
Oooh, ooh, ooh
Options, no other options, I gotta pop it

[Verse 2: Yazz, Scotty Tovar]
All this time, I thought falling was breaking
But I was mistaken
I dig that, out of the ashes
The star in the making
I'm thriving, steady surviving while y'all just getting by
Don't need the money to fake it to make it, 'cause the money never lies
Never lie
All these blessings, let me testify (Hallelujah)
All these doors that open up, prefer 'em suicide

[Pre-Chorus: Mario]
It's a celebration
Come and join the conversation
Yeah, you know the reputation
So, baby, don't ever play yourself

[Chorus: Mario, Yazz, Both]
I put it on the line, every dollar, every dime
Why not?
I made it through the fire, came out on the other side
Shout out to my enemies, notice that they into me
Keep that same energy, wondering why I'm winning?
Hey! Why not?
Hey! Why not?
Oooh, ooh, ooh (Yo! Bounce!)
Stop it, no you can't stop it, you know I'm poppin'
Oooh, ooh, ooh
Options, no other options, I gotta pop this
