lyrics
CHORUS (x2)
You Shall Overcome
You Shall Overcome
VERSE 1
Back up against the wall like wall lights
Shining brightness into a long night
Off white is America’s STAIN
If there isn't pain then you weren't taught right
Listen, I'm just reporting when I CBS like Walter Cronkite
Inherited shame got me all types of pressed
So I'll IRON out the details -
Black hair of all types are pressed,
Black men of all types are pressed by 5-0,
Got a n***a feeling types of stressed;
All life oppressed, overt or covert, get the bigger picture.
Shift your aspect if you lack the morality to see all live's possess
Liberty, simply cuz we ain't all white;
I guess the small price to pay for this
ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL relationship
Is a pause in the nation since
We all got a stake in this
We all gotta make it fit for the next man so we ALL MIGHT progress
But you don’t hear me though
CHORUS
You Shall Overcome
Yea you better believe it
You Shall Overcome
'Cause we’re never defeated
You Shall Overcome
Yea go ‘head and repeat it
You Shall Overcome
VERSE 2
Don’t get it twisted,
I'm not a victim
This life that I’m living is just a product of my circumstances,
Where skin tone alone has always been known to hurt your chances
America the beautiful's blemish blended with an imperfect palette
That's Past and present from inception to it's adolescence
So now its messing around with MAKE UP like an apprehensive freshman chick tryna blend in
But the only way to liberate your peace
Is to air out your imperfections
Tabernacle, be mad at the message, but don’t attack the reverend
This truth is life after death, before the rigor sets in
Ignoring the the status quo, and Letting progression step in
Thats Overcome 101, Lets assemble and add a lesson - Church.
Keep that in question?
While folks are acting reckless
We're battling principalities with above average weapons,
On a mission to change positions in the hierarchy
'Cause that's what trudging through the mire taught me..
CHORUS
You Shall Overcome
Yea you better believe it
You Shall Overcome
'Cause we’re never defeated
You Shall Overcome
Yea go ‘head and repeat it
You Shall Overcome
