Curtis Mayfield
We’re a Winner
[Intro: Philip Bailey]
Ah, yeah, mhm
Listen

[Verse 1: Philip Bailey]
We're a winner and never let anybody say
Boy, you can’t make it 'cause a feeble mind is in your way
No more tears do we cry
And we can finally dried our eyes

[Chorus: Philip Bailey & Bilal]
'Cause we’re movin' on up (Movin' on up)
Lord have mercy, we're movin' on up (Movin' on up)

[Verse 2: Philip Bailey]
We're living proof in all's alert
That we’re two from the good black earth
And we’re a winner
And everybody knows it, too

[Pre-Chorus: Philip Bailey]
We'll just keep on pushin’
Oh, like your leaders tell you to
At last that blessed day has come
And I don't care where you come from
[Chorus: Philip Bailey & Bilal]
'Cause we're movin’ on up (Movin' on up)
Lord have mercy, we're movin' on up (Movin' on up)
Yeah

[Bridge: Philip Bailey & Bilal]
Oh, yeah, yeah (Movin', movin')
Movin' (Movin', movin')
Groovin' (Movin', movin')

[Chorus: Philip Bailey & Bilal]
We're just movin' on up, yeah, yeah (Movin' on up)
Lord have mercy, we're movin' on up, yeah (Movin' on up)
We're just movin' on up (Movin' on up)
Lord have mercy, we're movin' on up, yeah (Movin' on up)

[Verse 3: Philip Bailey]
Hey, now, I don't mind leavin' here
To show the world we have no fear
'Cause we're a winner
And everybody knows it, too

[Pre-Chorus: Philip Bailey]
You just keep on pushin'
Like your leaders tell you to
At last that blessed day has come
And I don't care where you come from
[Chorus: Philip Bailey & Bilal]
We're just movin' on up (Movin' on up)
Lord have mercy, we're movin' on up, yes, we are (Movin' on up)
We're just movin' on up
Lord have mercy, we're movin' on up (Have mercy)

[Refrain: Philip Bailey & Bilal]
Movin', movin'
Movin', movin'
Movin', movin'
Movin', movin'
Movin', movin' (Movin' on up)
Movin' (Movin' on up), movin' (Movin' on up)
Movin' (Movin' on up), movin' (Movin' on up)
Movin' (Movin' on up), movin' (Movin' on up)
Movin' (Movin' on up), movin'

[Verse 4: Philip Bailey]
Now, I don't mind leavin' here—no, I don't
To show the world we have no fear
At last that blessed day has come
And I don't care where you come from

[Refrain: Philip Bailey & Bilal]
Movin', movin' (We're movin' on up)
