Overcome

Overcome

Brighter Day
No No No Nooo
Di Genius is back

Weeeeeeeeeeeee (We shall overcome)
We shall overcome (We shall overcome)
Weeeeeeeeeeeee (We shall overcome)
We must overcome (We shall overcome)

So I’m gonna pray till Jehovah comes
I pray to my God who’s up in the sky
For my friends who say they love me
When I know they lie
I pray for the kids in the streets
'Cause I know they cry
Babylon is shooting us down

And they’re telling so many lies
I pray 'cause I need to buy rice and flour
Can’t depend on cassava
That’s hard to fry
Ain’t living in the old days, that’s hard to try
I’m a Rasta but Mama eats steak and that’s hard to buy

Weeeeeeeeeeeee (We shall overcome)
We shall overcome (We shall overcome)
Weeeeeeeeeeeee (We shall overcome)
We must overcome (We shall overcome)
Saying Ghetto Youths need money over guns

I’m tired of the damn frustration
Tired of Babylon and their damn molestation
They know my occupation
So don’t shut off the sound
And lock me in a station
Our music is for our nation
It’s the only way people get through their tribulations
I’m talking to the nation, I don’t want no demonstration

Weeeeeeeeeeeee (We shall overcome)
Shall overcome (We shall overcome)
Shall overcome (We shall overcome)
Must overcome (We shall overcome)
Weeeeeeeeeeeee (We shall overcome)
We must overcome (We shall overcome)
Thy will be done, God knows

I’m tired of the everyday man dying
Tired of the innocent blood being shed
Tired of it—Jamaica is running red
People can’t sleep in their beds
I’m tired of the poverty
We need solidarity
Yo hear me, clearly, clearly

Weeeeeeeeeeeee (We shall overcome)
We shall overcome (We shall overcome)
Weeeeeeeeeeeee (We shall overcome)
We must overcome (We shall overcome)
Yeahheeeeee Yeeaaahhhhh
Nanaaan na naaaaa

Weeeeeeeeeeeee (We shall overcome)
We shall overcome (We shall overcome)
Weeeeeeeeeeeee (We shall overcome)
We must overcome (We shall overcome)
