We Shall Overcome Lyrics - The O.c. Supertones

I've been holding back my rhyme to 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 then the water down in Mexico 

Oh, no, a rock 'n' roller man, who's not allowed to be 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 trunk full of funk and a page full of fact 

Right about now I'd like to hear everyone say 

Yes, O yes, we shall overcome 

My fans got a job, are we gonna get it done? 

Yes, O yes, we shall overcome 

I can't be shy, I've gotta come with it 

No fear here, I Sing and bring it 

In Christ you've got no right livin' 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 

Right about now I'd like to hear everyone say 

Yes, O yes, we shall overcome 

My fans got a job, are we gonna get it done? 

Yes, O 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 smoke weed, these kids that drink beers 

Who don't want to hear what you got to say? 

And they shut their 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 

Right about now I'd like to hear everyone say 

Yes, O yes, we shall overcome 

My fans got a job, are we gonna get it done? 

Yes, O yes, we shall overcome
