We're a Winner

We’re a winner and never let anybody say\n«Boy, you can’t make it\n'Cause a feeble mind is in your way»\nNo more tears do we cry\nAnd we have finally dried our eyes\nWe’re movin' on up, movin' on up\nLord have mercy\nWe’re movin' on up now, we’re movin' on up\nWe’re living proof in all’s alert\nThat we’re too from the good black Earth\nAnd we’re a winner\nAnd everybody knows it too\nWe’ll just keep on pushin'\nLike your leaders tell you to\nAt last that blessed day has come\nAnd I don’t care where you come from\nWe’re all movin' on up, movin' on up\nLord have mercy\nWe’re movin' on up now, movin' on up\nMovin' on up, movin' on up\nLord have mercy\nWe’re movin' on up now, we’re movin' on up\nI don’t mind leavin' here\nTo show the world we have no fear\n'Cause we’re a winner\nAnd everybody knows it too\nWe’ll just keep on pushin'\nLike your leaders tell you to\nAt last that blessed day has come\nAnd I don’t care where you come from\nWe’re just gon' move on, movin' on up\nLord have mercy\nWe’re movin' on up now, we’re movin' on up\n{You know, you may remember reading\nIn your Jack Johnson publications\nWhole lotta stations didn’t wanna play that particular recording\n'We're a winner'\nCan you imagine such a thing?\nWell, I would say, either way I’m sure most of you would say\n«We don’t give a damn, we’re a winner anyway»\nRight on?}\n{I got a 'lil strength out there tonight\nPuttin' fire on dust, I would say\nIt’s alright now\nWe have just another version that we’d like to lay to ya about here\nBelieving very strongly in equality and freedom for all\nAnd especially we people who are darker than blue\nWe’d like to just lay another version to ya\nTryin' not to offend anyone, but basically telling it like it is}\nWe’re a winner and never let anybody say\nBoy, you can’t make it\n'Cause a feeble mind is in your way\nNo more tears do we cry\nThe black boy done dryin' his eyes\nHe’s been movin' on up, movin' on up\nLord have mercy\nWe’re movin' on up now, movin' on up\nThere’ll be no more Uncle Tom\nAt last that blessed day has come\nAnd we’re a winner, and everybody knows it too\nWe just keep on pushin'\nLike Martin Luther told you to\nAnd I don’t mind leavin' here\nTo show the world we have no fear\n'Cause we’re movin' on up, movin' on up\nLord have mercy\nWe’re movin' on up, we’re movin' on up\nSo people get ready\nI’ve got good news for you\nHow we got over\nLike we’re all supposed to do\nLet us all say, «Amen»\nAnd together we’ll clap our hands\n'Cause we’re movin' on up, movin' on up\nLord have mercy\nWe’re movin' on up now, movin' on up
