Ft. Estelle & Jussie Smollett
[Intro]
C Em Am F
[Verse 1]
C Em
Life is like a big merry-go-round
Am
You're up and then down
F C
Going in circles tryin' to get to where you are
Em
Everybody's been cutting you out
Am
But where are they now?
F
Sitting in the same old place
C
Just faces in the crowd
Em
We all make mistakes
Am
You might fall on your face
F
But you gotta get up!
[Chorus 1]
C
I'd rather stand tall
Em
Than live on my knees
Am
'Cause I'm a conqueror
F
And I won't accept defeat
C
Try telling me no
Em
One thing about me
Am
Is I'm a conqueror
F
I am a conqueror
Ooh oh
[Verse 2]
C Em
Got a vision that no one else sees
Am
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves
F
Remember there's a war out there
C
So come prepared to fight!
Em
You never know where the road leads ya
Am
Not everyone's gonna believe ya
F
And even though they're wrong,
Don't prove 'em right
[Chorus 2]
C
I'd rather stand tall
Em
Than live on my knees (Can't live on my knees)
Am
'Cause I'm a conqueror
F
And I won't accept defeat
C
Try telling me no
Em
One thing about me
Am
Is I'm a conqueror
F
I am a conqueror
Ooh oh (Ooh ooh)
C Em Am F
I am a conqueror
[Bridge]
C Em
We all make mistakes
Am
You might fall on your face
F
But you gotta get up!
C Em
We all make mistakes
Am
You might fall on your face
F
Don't ever give up!
[Chorus 3]
C
I'd rather stand tall
Em
Than live on my knees
Am
'Cause I'm a conqueror
F
And I won't accept defeat
C
Try telling me no
Em
One thing about me
Am
Is I'm a conqueror
F
I am a conqueror
Ooh oh
C Em Am F
I am a conqueror, oh no
[Outro]
C Em
We all make mistakes
Am
You might fall on your face
F
But I am a conqueror
