The O.C. Supertones Album: Unite Track: We Shall Overcome
We Shall Overcome Lyrics
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
Chorus 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
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 retrun to dirt
Chorus
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 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
Song Description: 'I've always liked the phrase 'church militant' it sounds so tough. It's difficult to believe when we see the sorry state of the church, but the church is still the manifestation of the kingdom of God on earth, against which 'the gates of hell shall not prevail.' - Matt Morginsky (The O.C. Supertones)
