"We Got It" is an original song written only for The Wiz Live! and from its other iterations. Dorothy sings it with the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion after The Wiz orders all of them to kill Evillene, a task that will require a lot of courage for the "squad" to complete.
Ne-Yo and Elijah Kelley, who also respectively played the Tin Man and the Scarecrow, wrote it, with help from music director Stephen Oremus and music producer Harvey Mason, Jr.
Lyrics[]
Scarecrow:
I’m not doing this
Cause even I know it don’t make no sense
Tin Man:
Breaking a heart got me this way
I ain’t in a rush to see that again
Cowardly Lion:
Just thinking about it is terrifying
Dorothy:
Oh
You ain’t gonna give up on me now. I won’t let you turn around
This won’t be easy, no way, no how, but we won’t back down
When the night is so cold, dark, and lonely
All you got to do is look at me and hear what I say
We got it
Guys:
We got it
Dorothy:
I got you
Guys:
I got you
Dorothy:
We got it
Guys:
We got it
Dorothy:
We got it, together we do
Cowardly Lion:
So close, yet so far, I can see our dreams from standing right where we are
The only thing that’s in our way are these impossible odds
I’m terrified this is just way too hard
Scarecrow and Ensemble:
What if I fail (fail)? How do I fly (fly), knowing there’s a good chance we’ll fall from the sky (sky)?
Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion:
What were we thinking? Why do we even try? That’s what we get for letting our hopes get too high
Dorothy:
I can’t believe what I’m hearing, get ahold of yourself
Dorothy and Tin Man:
You ain’t gonna give up on me now. I won’t let you turn around
This won’t be easy, no way, no how, but we won’t back down
Tin Man:
When the night is so cold, dark, and lonely
All you got to do is look at me and hear what I say
And we got it
Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion:
We got it
Tin Man:
I got you
Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion:
I got you
Tin Man:
We got it
Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion:
We got it
Tin Man:
We got it, together we do
Dorothy:
Ain’t nobody giving us nothing, if we want it there’s just no other way
I’ll be right here, come what may
Tin Man:
Together we’ll beat and face it
All:
You know that I’ve got you there's nothing we can’t do, oh no, oh no, oh no
Dorothy:
Our dreams are waiting for us so let’s go
All:
We ain’t gonna give up on this now, we refuse to turn around
This won’t be easy, no way, no how, but we won’t back down
Dorothy:
And when the night is so cold, dark, and lonely
All you got to do is look at me and hear what I say
We got it
Guys:
We got it
Dorothy:
I got you
Guys:
I got you
Dorothy:
We got it
Guys:
We got it
Dorothy:
We got it
All:
Together we do
Cowardly Lion:
I can conquer the mountains
Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Tin Man:
Together we do
Scarecrow:
Swim the deepest sea
Dorothy, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion:
Together we do
Tin Man:
There ain’t nothing I can’t do as long as you’re with me
All:
Together, together
Scarecrow:
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
All:
Together, together
Dorothy:
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
All:
Together, together
Together we do!
