| On time cause he busta rhymes a hard rhymer |
| On time cause he busta rhymes a hard rhymer |
| It’s the flavor, it’s the flavor, it’s the flavor |
| Life saver |
| It’s the flavor, it’s the flavor, it’s the flavor |
| Life saver |
| Get back cause he whacks the tracks terminator |
| Get back cause he whacks the tracks terminator |
| 1989 the number another summer (get down) |
| Sound of the funky drummer |
| Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got soul |
| (Brothers and sisters, hey) |
| Listen if you’re missin' y’all |
| Swingin' while I’m singin' |
| Givin' whatcha gettin' |
| Knowin' what I know |
| While the Black bands sweatin' |
| And the rhythm rhymes rollin' |
| Got to give us what we want |
| Gotta give us what we need |
| Our freedom of speech is freedom or death |
| We got to fight the powers that be |
| Lemme hear you say |
| Fight the power |
| Lemme hear you say |
| Fight the power |
| Lemme hear you say |
| Fight the power |
| Lemme hear you say |
| Fight the power |
| We’ve got to fight the powers that be |
| As the rhythm designed to bounce |
| What counts is that the rhymes |
| Designed to fill your mind |
| Now that you’ve realized the prides arrived |
| We got to pump the stuff to make us tough |
| From the heart |
| It’s a start, a work of art |
| To revolutionize make a change nothin’s strange |
| People, people we are the same |
| No we’re not the same |
| Cause we don’t know the game |
| What we need is awareness, we can’t get careless |
| You say what is this? |
| My beloved lets get down to business |
| Mental self defensive fitness |
| (Yo) bum rush the show |
| You gotta go for what you know |
| Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be |
| Lemme hear you say… |
| Fight the Power |
| Lemme hear you say |
| Fight the power |
| Lemme hear you say |
| Fight the power |
| Lemme hear you say |
| Fight the power |
| Lemme hear you say |
| Fight the power |
| We’ve got to fight the powers that be |
| Elvis was a hero to most |
| Buddy Elvis was a hero to most |
| Buddy Ebsen was a hero to most |
| Buddy Rich was a hero to most |
| Buddy Hackett was a hero to most |
| Nutty Buddy was a hero to most |
| But he never meant shit to me you |
| See I’m straight up racist that sucker was |
| Simple and plain |
| ____________ and John Wayne |
| Cause I’m Black and I’m proud |
| I’m ready and 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 400 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) lets get this party started right |
| Right on, c’mon |
| What we got to say |
| Power to the people no delay |
| To make everybody see |
| In order to fight the powers that be |
