I've been holding back my rhyme too 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 than the water down in Mexico

Oh no a rock n' roller man who's not allowed to 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 truck full of funk and a page full of fact

G-g-get up! G-g-get up!
G-g-get up! G-g-get up!

Right about now I'd like to hear eveyrone say
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
My fans got a job
Are we gonna get it done?
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome

I can't be shy, I've gotta come with it
No fear here- I sing and I bring it
In Christ you've got not right living 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 return to dirt

G-g-get up! G-g-get up!
G-g-get up! G-g-get up!

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
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome

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 wanna hear what you've got to say
And they shut there 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

G-g-get up! G-g-get up!
G-g-get up! G-g-get up!

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
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
Yes Oh yes we shall overcome
