I've got a soul that cannot sleep at night when something just ain't right
|
blood red but without sight exploding egos in the night
|
mix like sticks of dynamite red black or white this is myh fight come on courage let's be heard turn feelings into words
|
American equality has always been sour an attitude I'd like to devour
|
my name is peace this is my hour can I get just little pit of power
|
|
*chorus*
|
power of equality
|
is not yet what it ought to be
|
it fills me up like a hollow tree
|
the power of equality
|
|
right or wrong my song is strong you don't like it get along say what I want do what I can death to the message of the ku klux klan
|
I don't buy supremacy media chief you menace me
|
the people you say cuase all the crime wake up motherfucker
|
and smell the slime
|
blackest anger whitest fear can you hear me am I clear my
|
my name is peace this is my hour can I get just a little bit of power
|
|
*chorus*
|
|
I've got tapes I've got C.D.s I've got my public enemy my lilly white ass is tickled pink when I listen to the musice that makes me think
|
not another motherfucking politician doin' nothin' but something for his own ambition
|
never touch the sound we make soul sacred love vows that we take
|
to create straight what is true yo he's with me and what I do
|
my name is peace this is my hour can I get just a little bit of power
|
|
*chorus*
|
|
madder than a motherfucker lick my finger can't forget 'cause the memory lingers count 'em off quick little piccadilly sickness take me to the hick eat my thickness
|
I've got a welt from the bible belt dealing with the hand that I've been deact sitting in the grip of a killing fist giving up blood just to exist
|
rub me wrong and I get pissed no I cannot get to this people in pain I do not dig it change of brain for Mr.Bigot
|
|
little brother do you hear me have a heart oh come get near me misery is not my friend but I'll break before I bend
|
what I see is insanity (whatever happend to humanity)*3
