| Now people try to tell us
|
| But we are too young to know now
|
| Misguided, misinformed
|
| Miss-educated, huh?
|
| Our population gone outta control long
|
| Before the company of misery, miscellaneous storms
|
| Miss America, misinterpreted, end up in poem
|
| Pussy poppin', black girl lost, from
|
| Mysterious missus body found missing
|
| Nobody miss her in the morn'
|
| Degraded, decomposed, desensitized to time
|
| Detective dealin' with dealers behind yellow lines
|
| That taped off
|
| Chalk outline that lies beauty personified
|
| Candles and vigils, child an issue hearin' momma cry
|
| Each time a child born somebody dies
|
| A suicide, a homicide, it’s do or die wherever ghetto problems rise
|
| They say you too young to understand
|
| Troubles of your brother man
|
| Struggles of your sisters in the gutter fam
|
| Don’t let 'em misrepresent, deny your intelligence
|
| Defy the elements
|
| Deceit merely evident
|
| Many will come, many will go
|
| All I know
|
| Many will rise, many below, truth be told
|
| We got the power and it goes
|
| «I Got the Power» — Snap
|
| You, you, you, you got the power
|
| Many will come, many will go
|
| All I know
|
| Many will rise, many below, truth be told
|
| We got the power and it goes
|
| «I Got the Power» — Snap
|
| You, you, you, you got the power
|
| Fuck the presence of presidents
|
| System setting us up for failure
|
| Governor, senator, evil elements
|
| May negligence to your needs of the people
|
| Divide and equal, decide a sequel
|
| Upper class give hesitance
|
| We do not need to be walkin' blind, peep warnin' sign
|
| Invest in company, money managed by mornin' time
|
| The corner crime is parallel to recession
|
| 9 to 5, lessons build aggression, we need walls to climb
|
| There’s no democracy, obvious in your policy
|
| Poverty, put in prison, paper chase, honestly
|
| No oxygen to breath
|
| No baby momma wanted seeds to be raised in these times
|
| Of dire needs
|
| Eyes bleed from the visions
|
| Viscous divisions
|
| No minute to listen, seconds steadily tickin'
|
| Pissin' in elevators and spittin' in lawyer faces
|
| Got the power
|
| Eyes wide in rebellion stages
|
| Many will come, many will go
|
| All I know
|
| Many will rise, many below, truth be told
|
| We got the power and it goes
|
| «I Got the Power» — Snap
|
| You, you, you, you got the power
|
| Many will come, many will go
|
| All I know
|
| Many will rise, many below, truth be told
|
| We got the power and it goes
|

|
| You, you, you, you got the power
|
| We live in a cold world where nobody send a positive mess-age
|
| That’s why it’s such a mess in this age
|
| Nothin' changed but the season
|
| We come, to learn that he who think you get freedom for free is dumb
|
| And my dawgs is, lawless
|
| Cause they charge us, hundreds of dollars
|
| Just so our sons can be ballers
|
| Meanwhile them same dicks that enforce the laws is
|
| Drivin' round town in they brand new Chargers
|
| We just can’t afford this
|
| So we movin' all this
|
| Rawness, and our daughters strip to pay for college
|
| Raised with no fathers
|
| Catchin' charges, just makin' it harder for employers to employ us
|
| But, this is my life
|
| If I control my destiny
|
| So it’s up to me to bring out the best in me
|
| Let these words penetrate your mind
|
| Elevate your mind
|
| Escalate the grind, get your hands high
|
| Say, «I, I, I, I got the power, power.»
|
| You, you, you, you got the power, power
|
| We, we, we, we got the power
|
| «I Got The Power»
|
| So let’s live our lives as if we in the final hour
|
| Many will come, many will go
|
| All I know
|
| Many will rise, many below, truth be told
|
| We got the power and it goes
