| Bring that shit in!
| uh!
| Yeah the movement's
| in motion
| With mass militant
| poetry uh!
| 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
| mother fxxx 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
| 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
| 'Cause 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
| Yeah we gotta
| take the power back
|
| 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 bouning 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 mother
| fxxx' 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
| Yeah 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 uh! yeah!
| Take it back y'all
