We're a Winner
Lyricist:Curtis Mayfield
We're a winner and never let anybody say 'Boy, you can't make it 'Cause a feeble mind is in your way' No more tears do we cry And we have finally dried our eyes
We're movin' on up, movin' on up Lord have mercy We're movin' on up now, we're movin' on up
We're living proof in all's alert That we're too from the good black Earth And we're a winner And everybody knows it too
We'll just keep on pushin' Like your leaders tell you to At last that blessed day has come And I don't care where you come from
We're all movin' on up, movin' on up Lord have mercy We're movin' on up now, movin' on up
Movin' on up, movin' on up Lord have mercy We're movin' on up now, we're movin' on up
I don't mind leavin' here To show the world we have no fear 'Cause we're a winner And everybody knows it too
We'll just keep on pushin' Like your leaders tell you to At last that blessed day has come And I don't care where you come from
We're just gon' move on, movin' on up Lord have mercy We're movin' on up now , we're movin' on up
{You know, you may remember reading In your Jack Johnson publications Whole lotta stations didn't wanna play that particular recording 'We're a winner' Can you imagine such a thing? Well, I would say, either way I'm sure most of you would say Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 'We don't give a damn, we're a winner anyway' Right on?}
{I got a 'lil strength out there tonight Puttin' fire on dust, I would say It's alright now We have just another version that we'd like to lay to ya about here Believing very strongly in equality and freedom for all And especially we people who are darker than blue We'd like to just lay another version to ya Tryin' not to offend anyone, but basically telling it like it is}
We're a winner and never let anybody say Boy, you can't make it 'Cause a feeble mind is in your way No more tears do we cry The black boy done dryin' his eyes
He's been movin' on up, movin' on up Lord have mercy We're movin' on up now, movin' on up
There'll be no more Uncle Tom At last that blessed day has come And we're a winner, and everybody knows it too
We just keep on pushin' Like Martin Luther told you to And I don't mind leavin' here To show the world we have no fear
'Cause we're movin' on up, movin' on up Lord have mercy We're movin' on up, we're movin' on up
So people get ready I've got good news for you How we got over Like we're all supposed to do
Let us all say, 'Amen' And together we'll clap our hands
'Cause we're movin' on up, movin' on up Lord have mercy We're movin' on up now, movin' on up
{Continue to be a winner, all of you}
