Fight The Power: Remix 2020 |
This is revolution shit |
Uh, yeah, c’mon and get down |
Uh, yeah, c’mon and get down |
Uh, yeah, hey |
The year is 2020, the number |
Another summer, get down |
Sound of the funky drummer |
Music hitting' the heart 'cause I know you got soul |
Brothers and sisters |
The Information Age |
Got 'em seein' what’s really wrong with these racist days |
I honor the strong and pity the weak |
Your thoughts run your life, be careful what you think |
Haiti beat France, a century, seventeen |
Salute Toussaint and Dessalines |
And I do love France, know what I mean? |
It’s the system I’m talkin', nobody’s agreein' |
They say, «Suicide,» when dead bodies are swingin' |
Cowards are huntin' black men, that’s what I’m seein' |
How many Tulsas have been burnt down? |
And once Central Park was a thrivin' black town |
Yo, Chuck, I’m fightin' the power right now |
Thanks to you, Flav and P-E, puttin' it down |
Puttin' your life on the line so I could rap now |
The next generation still singin', «Fight the Power» |
Fight the power (Fight the power) |
Fight the power (Fight the power) |
Fight the power (Fight the power) |
Fight the power, we got to fight the powers that be |
Police think they reign 6ix9ine over the law (Yeah) |
When they give us short sticks but we really need a long |
To the boys in the hood, duckin' bullets and batons |
From boys in the hood, triple Ks on they arm |
Four fingers on my palm screamin', «Fight» |
Change the policy, before I buy back our property |
You love Black Panther but not Fred Hampton |
Word to the Howards and the Aggies and the Hamptons |
They book us, won’t book us, I’m Booker |
T. Washington, George killed, for twenty |
Think about it (Think), that’s two thousand pennies |
The value of black life the cost of goin' to Wendy’s |
For a four-quarter burger, ended in murder |
Fight for Breonna and the pain of her mother, gotta |
Fight the power (Fight the power) |
Fight the power (Fight the power) |
Fight the power (Fight the power) |
Fight the power, we got to fight the powers that be |
Yeah, generations just how long we been at war |
The revolution on all platforms |
You break a man’s mind in his back |
Yo, solidarity is what I’m wearin' all black for |
For comrades who done fought without me |
It’s not to try and change y’all thoughts about me |
Or to redirect your reports about me |
Dear white people, you should take a course about me |
'Cause, is it the long ding-a-ling? |
Four-finger ring? |
The sciences and the arts, the songs we can sing? |
I really wanna know why y’all so scared |
Prolly 'cause the promised land, we almost there |
But look, I think of images that fuel my youth |
Been influenced by Craig Hodges and Abdul-Rauf |
Examples like Olympic, Black Power salutes |
To Panther troops, I saw as I pursued my truth |
If racism is the cancer, Black Thought’s the answer |
Gotta get up off the back porch, emancipate your minds |
Get your bodies back from ransom (C'mon) |
And all black hands up for the anthem |
Fight the power (Fight the power) |
Fight the power, we got to fight the powers that be |
Yo, yo, check this out, man |
Bring that beat back, man (Bring that beat back) |
In two, three, four, hit it |
People, people, stronger than this evil |
Smashin' your power structure, melanin royal, regal |
System designed to kill and unprotect |
Worldwide, hit the streets just to get some respect |
Our fight and our rights for freedom will never waver |
But justice Breonna Taylor, salute Chuck and Flava |
Feel the same anger since Radio Raheem died |
Black power to the people, push forward, pride |
Fight power like it’s the opp, though |
Born to fight, I made it off the block though |
Thought he had a gun and he was black, that’s the combo |
The police killed George havin' a convo (George) |
They killed Malcolm X, they killed Doctor King (Doctor King) |
They gave us guns and dope, they wanna stop our kings |
They tryna erase our history, stop and think |
History class ain’t tell us 'bout Juneteeth |
Cops don’t give a damn about a negro |
Pull the trigger, kill a negro, he’s a hero |
Fuck livin' life on welfare |
The last one who cared was Obamacare |
Round twelve, nose kinda bloody, gotta keep fightin' |
Trump flew to North Korea, they respect violence |
If you ain’t tryna have your city on fire |
Put some respect on our name, we come from gold and diamonds |
Fight the power (Fight the power) |
Fight the power, we got to fight the powers that be |
Yo, yo |
Elvis was a hero to most |
But he never meant shit to me you see |
Straight up racist that sucker was, simple and plain |
Motherfuck him and John Wayne |
'Cause I’m Black and I’m proud |
I’m ready, I’m hyped plus I’m amped |
Most of my heroes don’t appear on no stamps |
Sample a look back you look and find |
Nothing but rednecks for four hundred years if you check |
«Don't Worry, Be Happy» was a number one jam |
Damn if I say it you can slap me right here |
(Get it) Let’s get this party started right |
Right on, c’mon |
What we got to say |
Power to the people no delay |
Make everybody see |
In order to fight the powers that be |
