Have mercy, uh
|
The exodus has begun (The exodus has begun!)
|
Have mercy, uh
|
The exodus has begun
|
Now these are the names of the New Power Generation
|
(These are the names)
|
The funkiest suckers of the new gold nation
|
Polyvinyl acetate, New Power Soul
|
Guaranteed 2 stick 2 the roof of your Oldsmobile muthafucka
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Long live the New Power!
|
Have mercy
|
Generation after generation, the soul will never die
|
(The exodus has begun)
|
Long live the New Power!
|
Have mercy
|
We don't cry, we don't die, we just multiply
|
|
Polyvinyl acetate, New Power Soul (Mercy)
|
The exodus has begun
|
These are the names of the children of the sun
|
Pumpin' the love sign in the days of wild
|
Tearin' shit up with a vengeance and still they smile (Still they smile)
|
Though their lives were made bitter with hard labor and no pay
|
These are the children that will come 2 save the day
|
(These are the children)
|
The exodus has begun
|
Have mercy
|
|

|
|
(Behold)
|
Behold the children of the New Power
|
Are more and mightier than U (Mighty, mighty)
|
U that have scorned and held back the inevitable
|
Must now come 2 grips with the truth
|
(All that is good in the eyes of heaven)
|
All that is good in the eyes of heaven
|
Will rebuke your powder monkey ways
|
(Have mercy, mercy, mercy)
|
And let that same heaven have mercy
|
When the wrath of the sun knocks upon your gate
|
|
Have mercy
|
The exodus has begun
|

Long live the New Power! (Long live)
|
Have mercy (Live a little while)
|
We don't cry, we don't die, we just multiply
|
|
Spatch cocks in black face offer us pennies (Offer us pennies)
|
When it's millions and millions upon millions they reap
|
(When it's millions, when it's millions) (Pluck his eye again!)
|
How in the world can we call ourselves equal
|
When their wages outweigh
|
When their wages outweigh the time that they keep?
|
(Pluck his eye again!)
|
And if they stood up and behaved like the humans they're supposed 2
|
As opposed 2 the way they are not
|
Then this New Power Soul would not be so soulful
|
(Then this New Power Soul would not be soulful)
|
And the water they're in would not be so hot
|
(And the water would not be so hot)
|
The exodus has begun (The exodus has begun!)
|
|
Have mercy
|
Uh (The exodus has begun!)
|
The exodus has begun
|
Now sing
|
|
Long live the New Power!
