Johnny Butt was a man with a real strong will to survive
He just keep pushin' on even though he was barely alive
So shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
Johnny says he wants go do it
Says he wants to kill a copWe've got a brand new dance
It's called we've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance
It's called we've got to overcomeSo Johnny just keep pushin' 'cause the streets are yours
There'll come a day, when all that shit won't matter
So shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
When you're resisting anywayWe've got a brand new dance
It's called we've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance
It's called we've got to overcomeSo Johnny just keep on pushin', the streets are yours
There'll come a day when all of that shit won't matter
So shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter
Resisting anywayWe've got a brand new dance
It's called we've got to overcome
We've got a brand new dance
It's called we've got to overcome
