|
Bring that shit in! Ughh!
|
|
Yeah, the movement's in motion with mass militant poetry
|
Now check this out...ughh!
|
|
In the right light, study becomes insight
|
But the system that dissed us
|
Teaches us to read and right
|
|
So called facts are fraud
|
They want us to allege and pledge
|
And bow down to their God
|
Lost the culture, the culture lost
|
Spun our minds and through time
|
Ignorance has taken over
|
Yo, we gotta take the power back!
|
Bam! Here's the plan
|
Motherfuck Uncle Sam
|
Step back, I know who I am
|
Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
|
It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
|
The rage is relentless
|
We need a movement with a quickness
|
You are the witness of change
|
And to counteract
|
We gotta take the power back
|
|
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
|
Come on, come on!
|
We gotta take the power back
|
|
The present curriculum
|
I put my fist in 'em
|
Eurocentric every last one of 'em
|
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
|
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
|
Installed in our minds and attempting
|
To hold us back
|
We've got to take it back
|
Holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
|
One-sided stories for years and years and years
|
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
|
Yeah, we need to check the interior
|
Of the system that cares about only one culture
|
And that is why
|
We gotta take the power back
|
|
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
|
Come on, come on!
|
We gotta take the power back
|
|
Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it,
|
Break it down
|
Awww shit!
|
|
Ughh!
|
|
And like this...ughh!
|
|
Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way!
|
|
The teacher stands in front of the class
|
But the lesson plan he can't recall
|
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies
|
Bouncing off every fucking wall
|
His composure is well kept
|
I guess he fears playing the fool
|
The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
|
Bullshit that he learned in school
|
|
Europe ain't my rope to swing on
|
Can't learn a thing from it
|
Yet we hang from it
|
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
|
Like the motherfuckin' weathermen
|
To expose and close the doors on those who try
|
To strangle and mangle the truth
|
'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
|
We gotta take the power back
|
|
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
|
Come on, come on!
|
We gotta take the power back
|
|
No more lies
|
No more lies
|
No more lies
|
No more lies
|
No more lies
|
No more lies
|
No more lies
|
No more lies
|
|
Ughh!
|
|
Yeah!
|
|
Take it back y'all
|
Take it back, a-take it back
|
A-take it back y'all, come on!
|
Take it back y'all
|
Take it back, a-take it back
|
A-take it back y'all, come on!
|
|
Ughh!
|
|
Yeah!
