rennie ren - we got to do lyrics
[intro: dunn pearson jr.]
four hundred years, we’ve been separated
now all of my family is being [?]
i just can’t take it, i really hate it
now it’s time for me to stand up and state it
[verse 1: rennie ren]
in 1985, brothers face discrimination
through a policy of strict race segregation
the black majority are being used like tools
while the white minority has controlled and ruled
now common sense can tell you it’s not morally right
that’s why we gotta lend a helping hand to their fight
we got to go around, [?], speak out against
undermine and define in our statemеnts
[pre+chorus 1: dunn pearson jr.]
be influential ’cause it’s, is vеry essential
that we help our brothers and sisters reach their potential, y’all
[chorus: dunn pearson jr; (rennie ren)]
we got to do, what has to be done
we got to help them overcome (me and you)
we got to do, what has to be done
we got to help them overcome
yes, me and you
[verse 2: rennie ren]
there’s a struggle going on and they need our help
they need me, and you and everybody else
it’s like they’re trapped in a jar, trying to pop the lid
they’re trying to overcome just like we did
but every time they get a leader lead the way
the white government puts them in their grave
so this is very, very ill, you must understand
me and you gotta do all we can
[pre+chorus 2: rennie ren]
we got to march if we have to, across the nation
join the sit+downs, demonstrations
come together as one, rise to the occasion
show no hesitation
[chorus: dunn pearson jr; (rennie ren)]
we got to do what has to be done
we got to help them overcome (me and you)
we got to do what has to be done
we got to help them overcome (me and you)
(we got to do)
yes we do
[interlude: dunn pearson jr.]
he raised a family on a acre of land
it was taken from a stranger with a gun in his hand
and he made them work harder every day
so he could take the finished product for himself and be paid
[verse 3: rennie ren]
he told you where you could and could not go
and when you asked for your freedom all he said was no
now this example that i give you, is one and the same
because on south africa, that stranger remains
so let it echo on your brain, things gotta change
there’ll be no more suffering, and no more pain
remember the world from where you came
bring on the sunshine, chase away the rain
[pre+chorus 3: dunn pearson jr.]
martin and malcolm would be so very proud
if they could see us now, speaking so aloud
[chorus; repeat through outro]
we got to do what has to be done
we got to help them overcome (me and you)
we got to do what has to be done
we got to help them overcome (me and you)
we got to do what has to be done
we got to help them overcome
we all
[outro: rennie ren]
we got to use the teachings of martin luther king
apply them to today and do something
remember the words of malcolm x
to help our family, give them respect
now martin and malcolm would be very proud
if they could hear us today, speaking out so loud
we got to do what has to be done
we got to help them overcome
we got to speak out, we got to do, we got to do
we got to join the sit+downs, demonstrations
come together as one, rise to the occasion…
