Song 3tTL7jlSkowXidYeafFtwG

Crank the music up

Bring that shit in

Ugh

Yeah, the movement's in motion with mass militant poetry

Now check this out

Ugh

In the right light, study becomes insight

But the system that dissed us, teaches us to read and write

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

C'mon, c'mon

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 causing 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

C'mon, c'mon

We gotta take the power back

Ayy-yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it, break it down

Aww, shit

Ugh

And like this

Ugh

C'mon

Yeah

Bring it back the other way

Ugh

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

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)

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

C'mon, c'mon

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

Ugh

Yeah

Take it back y'all

Take it back, a-take it back, a-take it back y'all! C'mon

Take it back y'all

Take it back, a-take it back, a-take it back y'all! C'mon

Ugh, yeah
