Lyrics Power - Wretch 32, J. Warner

Power

Mum said I missed my calling, Im always on the phone
I was tryna tell the connect I need another O
They say death comes in threes and thats my numero
Scarface said you’ll get the money and then you’ll become powerful
Power Power Power Power Power Power Power
Power Power Power Power Power Power Power
Power Power Power Power Power Power Power
Power Power Power Power Power Power Power
I don’t know why they’ll double dare me
There ain’t a section where they’re near me cah they go to sell a Henry to
Thierry
I be tryna buy a box, go ghost and disappear
They ask me why I ain’t sharing;
cah I’m tryna buy shares
Had a buzz and a light, yeah still the lights here
Amazing Grace saved a wretch like me, that’s my prayer
Would your pen shed your flesh like me and my peers
We were here before checks, BC if I care
That’s a different type of energy
I was in a lab before Dexter had the chemistry
Tryna sell a rat, push the front to the back before they hit me like Kennedy
Rastas tryna be here long, that’s just the dread in me
I’ve payed homage to everybody that came before me
She ain’t got no morals, that woman she sold her story
Cheap, read it and weep at the expense of poor me
You’ll go for more money, more problems, back into Morleys
Old enough to know better.
But I’m young enough to try again
I’m drinking like I’ll die again I’m tiring
Age starting to show, grays starting to poke
Pace starting to slow, faith starting to go
I’m sounding ungrateful but who asked to be grown
So if you’re a young fire I may pass you the code
If this is what it takes then take after my throne
Say Moses parted the sea but Jermaine parted the snow
I never give as good as I get, I give my everything
Everytime I add noughts on my checks, I deserved everything
Every line kept me sane in my head, I’m my own therapist
Every slice that they took from my bread should be replenishing
18 yrs old momma said son it’s on you (momma said son it’s on you)
So at 18 years old I’ma say son it’s on you (I'ma say son it’s on you)
Never take nothing for granted, nothing is promised
I look at everything I’ve been granted, one thing was promised
That one day I’ll end up in a casket until I’m rotting
That’s when you’re right back where you started, that’s at the bottom
I never had no desire for the London eye
My Jamaican parents made me feel like I’d never touch the sky
See my mum was talking down coz my dad was at the side
I looked up to my gran, she put my grandad in the sky
That’s the strongest women I’ve ever seen, I’ve ever touched, ever known
Ever kissed, ever cuddled, ever loved
Tell my daughter she’s got big heels to fill, she better jump
Outta my arms, into the world
You better run
Daddy showed you you’re a winner, go get finessing
You made me get to number infinity counting blessings
If you knew what I put on the line to get you credit
Now I’m charged up, that be the reason you’ll get the message
Things used to be difficult now I’m the miracle
I took it with a pinch of salt I had to pinch the salt ah
They gotta accept I’m the exception to the rule ah
Now I’m getting ridiculed just like I did in school
Coz I told the teacher she could never be this cool but
Now I’m in the class giving jewels and all my jewels no
Mustard on the beat, they’re getting lost in all the sauce
This is my reward, I give a fuck about awards
Who do feel power
That’s when you’re really gonna need power
It don’t really matter who’s in power
I stand with me people, that’s power
Who do feel power
That’s when you’re really gonna need power
It don’t really matter who’s in power
I stand with me people, black power
Power
