"Y'all Got It" is a song from The Wiz. It is sung by The Wizard as he prepares to depart with Dorothy Gale in his hot air balloon and says farewell to the citizens of the Emerald City. It was originally sung by André De Shields in the 1975 Broadway production and by Queen Latifah in the 2015 TV adaptation (with some lyrics changed to accommodate Queen Latifah's status as the first female Wiz).
