[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]

So, what;'s it going to be?

L-U-P-E, Joy

C'mon On

[Verse 1: Joy Denalane]

There's so many things to say right now;

I got so much on my mind

Look at what is going down...

How much higher can we climb?

The system that we're living in

Depends on poverty and greed

But people don't need charity;

It's justice that we need

(There's disrepair)

Hey, it's surrounding you And it's worse than it's ever been

(We'll overcome)

We'll overcome the things they do

(We're halfway there)

Cause we know the truth but living is another thing

(We'll overcome)

Overcome the things they do.. Lift your voice and sing

[Bridge: Joy Denalane]

A change is coming our way

Step by step and day by day

We'll live by all that we say

Step by step now come what may

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]

Before we go forth We gotta take 'em back, back

So we can know what we did

Cause if we never know what happened in de past

Then we can never know, that's what it is

If we don't do it for us We gotta do it for our kids, kids

So they don't gotta re-live

See, there's so much happening, it ain't gonna get fix

With singing and rapping and we gotta take action

And turn that preach into practicing

Cause what happen back then, will be right back again

But each one teach one, cause we only as fast

As the last one straggling, so help 'em out

[Hook: Joy Denalane]

(Step by step day by day) Said it won't be long, it won't be long

(Step by step come what may) I feel it coming on strong

(Step by step day by day) We gonna overcome

(Step by step come what may) As long as we are one

[Verse 3: Kanye West]

I'm in the club, doing the same ol' two step

While Omegas doing the same ol' "Q" step (Q!)

I have my money on my mind, I was thinking green

She a pledge A.K.A., she was pink and green

I want a good girl, she want a gentleman (Okay)

We saying the same thing like a synonym

I wasn't really spitting game, I was scrimmaging

My penmanship so hard it need censorship (Woo!)

I'm a Chicagoan 'til Chicago ends (Yeah!)

Till we blow like Chicago wind

I don't know what's better, getting laid or getting paid (Haha)

I just know when I'm getting one, the other's getting away

[Hook: Joy Denalane]

(Step by step day by day) Said it won't be long, it won't be long

(Step by step come what may) I feel it coming on strong

(Step by step day by day) We gonna overcome

(Step by step come what may) As long as we are one

[Verse 4: Pharrell Williams]

Her friends didn't like niggas like us

But I arrested the coochie and her feelings got cuffed

Spider web sex must have got caught up

But there's more to it I remember once

Sayin' "Let's shit on the peons

Let's go to Vegas and watch Celine Dion"

Make 'em say "What we on?"

You say no like you was doin' it for eons

Fuck it I just hum and let the watch give off the neons

When it rains it pours, I laugh to myself when I change the score

You said my sex was a lot but my brain gave you more

And somethin' bout how your ex was a toy, I guess he played games

It's only diamond dice here not tryin' to justify

When you shut your eye you can touch the sky

You in trouble ma, and you should pray about speed

But if that's 'bout you, what that say about me?

[Hook: Joy Denalane]

(Step by step day by day) Said it won't be long, it won't be long

(Step by step come what may) I feel it coming on strong

(Step by step day by day) We gonna overcome

(Step by step come what may) As long as we are one

[Bridge: Joy Denalane]

A change is coming our way

Step by step and day by day

We'll live by all that we say

Step by step now come what may

A change is coming our way

Step by step and day by day

We'll live by all that we say

Step by step now come what may
