Overcome
re:plus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say I'm part of a
Generation don't give a dang
Lost in a mind of a culture
That's not given a chance
How can we dance? Love 'em and romance
From the leaders left to solo on
Their own without a glance
Back to see us make it they
Rather run from mistakes if they
Think we ain't the type to
Reunite and run the races
We part of a generation that be
Hungry for the masses to open
Their eyes and see
The glory and the power father
Healer came to be
I paint a picture with my lyrics
So all the blind can see
I was made for a movement
I'm born for something bigger
I don't need the spotlight or the
Hype with all the figures
My Christ is enough for me
To shine beyond the rivers
He died so we could live a
Better life than we could ever
Live on our own he's alive
And still the giver
So this generation written off
Is waiting something bigger

We will overcome we can
Even though they say we can't
We will overcome we can we can we can we can
We will overcome we can
Even though they say we can't
We will overcome we can we will overcome

I got a new generation slowly
Growin' in my womb now
Day after day I'm wonderin' how
To hold it down
But God's already promised that my
Soon to be child
Is gonna rock crowds with word
Of God on his brow
I can't explain it I keep getting written off
Cuz I'm a female in the
Game they label me soft
But I done rocked with the best of 'em
I can hold my own just give
Me a pen and pad and pass me the microphone
I my soul trip the world to let y'all know
What I really stand for there's
More than me being known
For showing off my body or
Bragging about my skills
I do this cuz I love it but
Don't front this girl was ill
Back to the basics back to when it made sense
Back to quarter models recording
Up in the basement
Now we gotta face the past just erase it
Cuz we too busy chasing after
Dreams that don't make sense
