Fight the Power (Soul Power)

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 beLemme hear you say

Fight the power

Lemme hear you say

Fight the powerLemme hear you say

Fight the power

Lemme hear you say

Fight the powerLemme hear you say

Fight the power

Lemme hear you say

Fight the power

We've got to fight the powers that beAs 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 PowerLemme hear you say

Fight the power

Lemme hear you say

Fight the powerLemme hear you say

Fight the power

Lemme hear you say

Fight the powerLemme hear you say

Fight the power

Lemme hear you say

Fight the power

We've got to fight the powers that beElvis was a hero to most

But he never meant, to me you see

Straight up racist that sucker was

Simple and plain

Mother, him 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 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) 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(Fight the power)
