Rise up and Shine
Whoa-oh, oh yeah

And I wanna ask you this way
Listen

My people rise up, shining
We will never, never gonna suffer, suffer
We will never, never suffer
We will never, never gonna suffer, suffer
We will never, never suffer
No suffering for me and my people, yeah

Jubilation in the street and said we have Black President
You better know now, you better know now

Jubilation in the street and dancing in the street
And said we have Black President
