OVERCOME ft. Josiah Williams Lyrics

We shall

We shall

Overcome

Overcome

Come on

If these feet could tell you what they've seen

Pain you've only seen in your daydreams

hurt you've only felt from 10 mile hikes

Strain that come from sprinting for my life

Cuz ain't this much marching In the world

Marches ain't save those four little girls

Martin walked so that Barack could fly

But Martin got plucked right out the sky

I begged and prayed asked my father why

While tears grew legs and they ran down my eyes

Like Tommie Smith and John Carlos

We stand on the shoulders of all those

Soldiers from AZ to Chicago

Y'all know we done begged stole and borrowed

Waiting for Representatives to rep us

Or for respect from those don't respect us

But guess what

We shall

We shall

Over come, Over come

Come on

Non violent protests so over them

Feet so swollen how I'm supposed to run

Wondering when will my moment come

I was told that I'm the chosen one

Chosen to be poor and have less?

Chosen to be denied the access?

Chosen for migraines from mad stress?

Well I choose joy, and how could you have guessed

That a man on a mission like Mabel and Oscar

Chose love as the weapon for slaying a monster

Through the hardships you can pray that we prosper..

Or we can tap in, make something happen

good trouble, word to John Lewis

We don't start problems, we respond to it

So I pray we might, Soar to greater heights

And we can if stay the fight

We shall

We shall

We shall

Over come, Over come

Come on

Heavenly Father

I approach Your space,

Weighed down but I know that I can hold those weights

When I pray, I state

Every one of my struggle and You follow with strength

Even in this dark tunnel, I can find an escape

There are times when I may not even know what to say

I trust that You'll guide me and show me the way

Because I know that my enemy is hoping I break

But they don't know my faith

My Savior had skin like bronze and a heart full of gold

And He gave it all, so I could shine bright like platinum

And it's not about me, I'm just made in His image

So I take it all, and I just shine it right back at Him

That's my Heavenly Father, and my Dad would be proud

I found joy, love and freedom like Mrs. Tabitha Brown

I give hope to the ones who had it stolen away

It once was lost, but lyrically I put it to sound

And we shall

We shall

We shall

Over come, Over come

Come on

We shall

We shall

Over come, Over come

Come on
