[Intro] 
AH HA! Big Shug! It's a new era, black president and all that
AH HA! Feels good man, we've overcome right now
We 'gon do it, like this

[Verse One] 
A new era in steps the black president
Feelin kind of comfortable at my residence
Look in the mirror and what do I see?
It looks just like the powers that be, plus me
Malcolms and Martins and all the Pressleys
You can know put your hands behind your head and in your grave
And put your feet up on heaven's couch
And let that big sigh come out, without a doubt
Maybe now we can scale back the wars
Send the black man straight, through them white doors
Even Osama gotta respect Obama
Let's get together try to rest the drama
Incredible never thought it could happen
Now you get the message, by the way of me rappin
Now we got 'em by hook or by crook
Fall back young man while I sing a fly hook

[Chorus] 
And...you know, I know, this world has finally changed
And it will never be the same, again....HEY! (HEYYYY!!!)
You know, I know, we have, overcome 
And it will never be the same, again....HEY! (HEYYYY!!!)
You know, I know, this world has finally changed
And it will never be the same, again....HEY! (HEYYYY!!!)
You know, I know, we have, overcome 
And it will never be the same, again....HEY! (HEYYYY!!!)

[Outro] 
YAY HEY! HEY! 
Tell Martin, and Malcolm, and Geronimo, we have overcome
HEYYYY! HEY! Tell Nat, and Rosa, and Harriet, we have overcome
YAYYY!!! WOO!!! Tell Luther, and Barry, and Isaac too, we have overcome
YAYYY!!! HEY!!! Tell Biggie, and 2Pac, Gerald and Sean, we have overcome
We have oooooovercommmeee!!! HEY HEY HEY!!!! HEEEEE!!!!
Listen this is Big Shug, you could be whatever you wanna be (I Have A Dream!)
President, astronaut or whatever...It's a new era
STAND UP!!!
