I was introduced to this song on the TV show Empire. I’ve been listening to it regularly every since. But today I LISTENED to it.

The song is about life. It’s about dreams. And most importantly it’s about mindset..

As you get older, when you are on the path to accomplishing a goal or fulfilling a dream, you will have doubters. You will go through negativity. You will go through adversity.

It simply won’t be easy.

However, do you have the mindset, the strength, the resilience, the fight, the courage, to pull through and to the keep going..

The lyrics to this song is powerful..

I AM A CONQUEROR

Life is like a big merry-go-round,
You’re up and then down,
Going in circles trying to get to where you are.
Everybody’s been counting you out,
Where are they now?
Sitting in the same old place,
Just faces in the crowd.
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
But you gotta get up!

[Chorus:]
I’d rather stand tall
Than live on my knees,
‘Cause I am a conqueror,
And I won’t accept defeat!
Try telling me no,
One thing about me
Is I am a conqueror,
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh

Got a vision that no one else sees,
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves,
Remember there’s a war out there,
So come prepared to fight!
You never know wherever the road leads you,
Not everyone’s gonna believe you,
Even though they’re wrong, don’t prove them right.

[Chorus:]
I’d rather stand tall
Than live on my knees,
‘Cause I am a conqueror,
And I won’t accept defeat!
Try telling me no,
One thing about me
Is I am a conqueror,
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh

I am a conqueror!
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
but you gotta get up!
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
Don’t ever give up!

[Chorus:]
I’d rather stand tall
Than live on my knees,
‘Cause I am a conqueror,
And I won’t accept defeat!
Try telling me no,
One thing about me
Is I am a conqueror,
I am a conqueror!
Ooh oh

I am a conqueror
We all make mistakes,
You might fall on your face,
But I am a conqueror!
