James Brown – All for One Lyrics

Soul

It's all for one, and one for all
Together we'll overcome, divided we'll fall

From the slave ships, to the championships
People, we've got to use the power of soul
To drive us to our final goal

We've got to unify, and we must, we must pull together

Together we're strong, and we can become a people
And control our own destiny

For too many years, we've been behind
Now it's time for us to use our mind

One strong mind, we've got to think together

Now people are beautiful, and right is strong
We've known this all along, so don't ever back up

We're right and proud, say it loud
We're people and proud

Open up the door, I'll get it myself
The man's got a way of tearing us down
Making us mess each other around
Don't let him win, while he go off and laugh and grin
And don't you laugh and grin
Say it loud, we're people and proud
Say it loud, we're people and proud

It's been a long, hard fight
And it's not over yet, no
It won't be over until we get
What men should have, and that's respect
Respect from your fellow man
Respect from the other man

Mmm-hmm, gotta be all for one
Gotta be all for one, help me out, Fred

Gotta be all for one, and one for all
Together we'll overcome, divided we'll fall
All for one, and one for all
Together we'll overcome, divided we'll fall

Mmm, I feel like I wanna move
Fred, a warrior

Open up the door, I'll get it myself

Garvan, Du Bois, Martin Luther King

Mmm, it's all for one, one for all
Together we'll overcome, divided we'll fall

It's all for one, one for all
Together we will overcome, divided we'll fall
It's all for one, and one for all
Together we will overcome, divided we'll fall

Mmm, release me, release me

Think for myself, think for myself

Say it loud, we're people and proud
Say it loud, we're people and proud
Well, say it loud, we're people and proud

Open up the door, I'll get it myself
Open up the door, I'll get it myself
Open up the door, I'll get it myself

It's all for one, and one for all
Together we'll overcome, divided we'll fall

We've got to use the power of soul
To drive us home to our final goal

We've got to unify, and we must pull together

Our people are beautiful, and right is strong
We've known this all along, so don't ever back up

We're right and proud

Say it loud, we're people and proud
Say it loud, we're people and proud

Martin Luther said, say it loud, we're people and proud
Benjamin Banneker said, say it loud, we're people and proud
Du Bois said, say it loud, we're people and proud
Du Bois said, say it loud, we're people and proud
