We're A Winner

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

And we're movin on up

Lawd have mercy

We're movin' on up

We're living proof

In alls alert

That we're true

From the good black dirt

And we're a winner

And everybody knows it too

We'll just keep on pushin

Like your leaeder 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

I don't mind leavin' here

To show the world

We have no fear

‘cause we're a winner

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 dried his eyes.

We're movin' on up,

Lawd have mercy, we're 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'll just keep on pushin'

Like Martin Luther King told us to.

And I don't mind leavin' here

To show the world we have no fear

‘cause we're movin on up.

Lawd have mercy,

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,

Lawd have mercy,

We're movin' on up.
