What Kind Of Power We Got? |
| Kid: Mr., Mr., why you always tryin' to take all our money? |
| Old man: Because I’m the government, and you-u-u have to pay |
| Kid: Stop tryin' to take our money! |
| Yo, you gotta bust this |
| We want justice |
| From public enemy number one |
| To can’t trust this |
| Like F Jim or Hyatt |
| Because we’re sick and fuckin' tired |
| Of being mistreated by the undefeated |
| Powers in the seat that can’t be beat |
| Probably gone is the head that make clear to the feet |
| The two worlds are talkin', plus crooked walkin' |
| Blind to the fact that the enemy is stalking |
| For ways for days to search United States quiet |
| We’re not a full power cause of racial riot |
| In my neighborhood, we attempt to kill each other |
| Politics said fuck power to the brother |
| Be strong be righteous, don’t be no sinister |
| I got the word from brother minister (minister) |
| Farrakhan speaks, and so does Muhammad |
| The days of Ramadan is protected, you can’t harm it |
| My statement is the fact to the highest degree |
| Flavor works this style, you can’t touch me |
| What kind of power we got? |
| (Soul power) (8X) |
| Bring it on (I know you got soul) |
| Goin' on it, get it, gotta get it on (8X) |
| Yo, some seek stardom |
| And forgot all about Harlem |
| Yo, Fugess |
| Rock the hoouuse! |
| Now I don’t know |
| But tell me what you gonna do |
| When the ending of time comes near |
| Whatever you do, it’s gotta be funky |
| I’m not tryin' to put your life in full of fear! |
| By the Flava skies we are flyin' |
| The truth we be buyin' |
| To buy in all the lying |
| How you livin' |
| Why you livin' |
| Where you livin' |
| It ain’t got to be like that, by only givin' |
| It was your own choice, sratched up your Rolls Royce |
| Every childish friend you had was glad to rejoice |
| And turning in the nut, trying to make the pockets fatter |
| One shot in the head, everybody scatter! |
| The world’s gonna catch on fire |
| A funeral pyre is the hard-headed people’s desire |
| Every lyin' tryer will turn into a cryer |
| Who will just sit back, thinkin' higher and higher |
| Friends will always move 'til you get to barb wire |
| Every cop in law gets a flat tire |
| What kind of power we got? |
| (Soul power) (4X) |
| What kind of power you got? |
| (Soul power) (2X) |
| What kind of power we got? |
| (Soul power) |
| Take me on |
| Goin' on it, get it, gotta get it on (8X) |
| Yo check this out |
| My partner Chuck D |
| Got all the ozs of knowledge, wisdom and understanding |
| A-yo Chuck |
| Let 'em know why you the Prophet of Rap |
| Kick that shit, Chuck |
| Some people, people |
| Don’t like the way, the way Flavor walk |
| Come on now, we want all the people to check it out and listen to it, |
