Title phrase of this song taken from Michelle Obama's speech at the Democratic Convention, 2016
lyrics
Its hard to stay cool, hearing loose talk on the election
When I hear ‘lock her up, she’s a crook’ I start to yell my objection
But before my anger starts to multiply
I say to myself ‘they go low, we go high’
We’ve heard that racist birther talk, from a certain candidate for prez
If you want to know the opposite of the truth, just listen to what he says
But to stay on the issues is just more dignified
I gotta keep saying ‘they go low, we go high’
They go low, we go high, it’s what Michelle said in that speech
Its not easy to do but it’s a goal we have to reach
