POWER Lyrics

POWER Lyrics

Nigga be pressed to claim a street with a white man name
I pulled up to put you up on game
What's ya focus?
What ya doin?
What you want out this life?
I want power can't never be satisfied with fame
I'm just a man of the people
From round the way like the Beatles
I been exposed to new levels
I'm always tryna do better
Roll with my roadies like Cheadle
You say the top can get lonely
I say the bottom is lethal
I want the crown I'm medieval
See us gettin this money they still don't see us as equals
They know that we don't control sh*t
Coming up in small doses
Sometimes I sit back and roll up and think of my heroes
And so it goes...
Gain the world lose ya soul

Skull and bones
Puffy Combs
Too many niggas dead and gone
When they just got on
And I be lying if I said its nothing wrong
Sometimes I sit back and roll up and think of my heroes
And so it goes...
Gain the world lose ya soul
Skull and bones
Puffy Combs

Power, power, power
Power, power, power

Put down your God and pick up your bible (what)
Put down your picket signs pick up your rifle
Messages conflicting twisting on my metal, love on your enemies
Don't you trust your kinfolk
Family feuding on American dream boats
Top of the food chain what them people kill for
Down your knees and pray up to God or
Stand on your feet and rise above all
As a child I was miseducated
I grew up praising power Guns, drugs misogynation
Fire inside, blazing constantly waiting, me and demons engaging in conversation on how we finna get paid
But Through it all placed my hands on my balls, that's a power grab. They see a black man shinning they'll shoot them down fast
f**k CEOs taking ya shows and firing you at night like Nick that's a Cannon blast
They'll try to under cut your ass, but out your cast
Say you crazy as hell Chappelle status
CEOs takin your shoes and firing you at night like Nick, that's a Cannon blast

(Power, power, power
Power, power, power
Power)

sh*t that sh*t powerful right there
You know what's the wild sh*t
I just named my daughter Power
And niggas thought I was crazy for that
Hey call me crazy and niggas that think they was crazy enough to change the world are the ones to actually do that sh*t

Whether what I do you into or not
I done been to the top
And done been to thru a lot
And if I offend you or not
I might convince you to stop
See I've done been in the room
Watch others and assume
And I've got friends in the tomb
Boy I've done been in the back
And I have witnessed the axe
What kind of business is that
A slave masters business is black
But I have listened
I've done been in a compromising position
I've done been in their pockets to get on the playlist
I've done been in the system
But I am different
This industry sh*t different
Its a major motion picture budget
Its lit different
My wrist different
And every woman I'm with's different
Try going back to the old you sometime and you miss different
But the corporate is morbid
They wanna put a mark in your forehead
A quake in their handshake
But too fake for the fans sake
But I'm better than average
And I deserve to have this
And I mean mug men in the suits and ties
Lookin like Imma bad b**ch
But I never lost my religion
So I'm lucky
When a lot of these artists right here
Thinking to themselves like "damn why don't none of them wanna f**k me?"
So glad that I'm ugly
Boy stop I'm beautiful
These motherf**kers will kill you
Be at the front seat of your funeral
Just want you to know
Remain a man every minute of your hour
Cause a lot of these motherf**kers be all plugs with no power

(Power, power, power
Power, power, power
Power, power, power
Power, power, power)

Yeah so let the words of my mouth and the meditation in my heart be acceptable
And excite to the Most High
Yeah pretty much all I'm sayin is
Imma do what I can and Imma let God do what I can
So I'm just tryna make it before the light change
And I'll fall off like a bright chain
It's a minor set back for a major comeback
sh*t we do everything
All Black we own this sh*t
We workin for all Blacks
That's why I had to get my sh*t back
Power
