Fight The Power

Yet our best trained, best educated, best equipped
 Best prepared troops refuse to fight
 As a matter of fact, it's safe to say that they would rather switch
 Than fight
 1989 the number another summer (get down)
 Sound of the funky drummer
 Music hitting your heart 'cause I know you got soul
 (Brothers and sisters, hey)
 Listen if you're missing y'all
 Swinging while I'm singing
 Giving whatcha getting
 Knowing what I know
 While the Black bands sweating
 And the rhythm rhymes rolling
 Got to give us what we want
 Gotta give us what we need
 Our freedom of speech is freedom or death
 We got to fight the powers that be
 Lemme hear you say
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 We've got to fight the powers that be
 As the rhythm designed to bounce
 What counts is that the rhymes
 Designed to fill your mind
 Now that you've realized the pride's arrived
 We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
 From the heart
 It's a start, a work of art
 To revolutionize make a change nothing's strange
 People, people we are the same
 No we're not the same
 'Cause we don't know the game
 What we need is awareness, we can't get careless
 You say what is this?
 My beloved lets get down to business
 Mental self defensive fitness
 Don't rush the show
 You gotta go for what you know
 Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be
 Lemme hear you say
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 We've got to fight the powers that be
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 We've got to fight the powers that be
 Elvis was a hero to most
 Elvis was a hero to most
 Elvis was a hero to most
 But he never meant s- to me you see
 Straight up racist that sucker was
 Simple and plain
 Mother f- him and John Wayne
 'Cause I'm Black and I'm proud
 I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
 Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
 Sample a look back you look and find
 Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
 Don't worry be happy
 Was a number one jam
 Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
 (Get it) lets get this party started right
 Right on, c'mon
 What we got to say?
 Power to the people no delay
 Make everybody see
 In order to fight the powers that be
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 Fight the power
 We've got to fight the powers that be
 What we got to say?
 Fight the power
 What we got to say?
 Fight the power
 What we got to say?
 Fight the power
 What we got to say?
 Fight the power
