I've been holding back my rhyme too long, let it go
|
And unleash the fury of my old school flow
|
I'm no superstar, more like a John Doe
|
But I'm badder than the water down in Mexico
|
|
Oh no a rock n' roller man who's not allowed to rap
|
But I write what I like and I like the boom bap
|
The rhyme's in the front and the beat's in the back
|
A truck full of funk and a page full of fact
|
|
G-g-get up! G-g-get up!
|
G-g-get up! G-g-get up!
|
|
Right about now I'd like to hear eveyrone say
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
My fans got a job
|
Are we gonna get it done?
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
|
I can't be shy, I've gotta come with it
|
No fear here- I sing and I bring it
|
In Christ you've got not right living timid
|
He's light in the dark and hope for the wicked
|
|
There's a land of the dead called planet earth
|
And a race called man walks dead from birth
|
And the beast and man both bear the curse
|
Come from the womb but return to dirt
|
|
G-g-get up! G-g-get up!
|
G-g-get up! G-g-get up!
|
|
Right about now I'd like to hear everyone say
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
My fans got a job
|
Are we gonna get it done?
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
|
Here's what I do- I hope I get through
|
So cling to what's true and tell the world too
|
Cause some live in fear, oppression from peers
|
These kids that smoke weed, these kids that drink beers
|
|
Who don't wanna hear what you've got to say
|
And they shut there ears and laugh 'cause you pray
|
But don't be afraid- that used to be me
|
I used to mock God but I was empty
|
|
G-g-get up! G-g-get up!
|
G-g-get up! G-g-get up!
|
|
Right about now I'd like to hear everyone say
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
My fans got a job
|
Are we gonna get it done?
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
|

We Shall Overcome
