Young . Boyz - Lift Every Voice Lyrics
Official




It's LegacyWorks
Yeah, Uh
Yeah, Uh
Yeah, Uh
Yeah
Now Lift it Up
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and Heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list'ning skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
I'mma lift up my voice and sing
Something like Martin Luther King
I know I don't have a lot of things
But one thing I do have is an amazing dream
One day - I'mma make it up out these streets
One day - I'mma have a bonafide degree
One day - I'm going to the H&B
And you gon' see me make history
Lift it up
A&M (Lift it up)
ASU (Lift it up)
Talladega (Lift it up)
Miles College (Lift it up)
Stillman (Lift it up)
Selma (Lift it up)
Tuskegee (Lift it up)
Oakwood
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and Heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list'ning skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
I'm trying to build a legacy that works
Repair communities replete with pain and hurt
The way they did it after 1864 was to educate themselves
And be indispensable
Shout out to my ancestors
Couldn't go to school with other races
So they built HBCUs
That's why we celebrate 'em
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and Heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list'ning skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
