Take The Power Back

Lyrics

Crank the music up!
 ♪
 Bring that shit in! uggh!
 Yeah, the movement's in motion with mass militant poetry
 Now check this out, uggh!
 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!
 ♪
 And like this, uggh!
 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 students' 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
 Uggh!
 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!
 Uggh!
 Yeah!
