Take the Power Back
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
We gotta take the power back
Bam, here's the plan:
Mother fuck 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 lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back
[Chorus:]
We gotta take the power back, come on! Come on!!
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
Euro-centric 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
Causing holes in our spirits
causing tears and fears
One-sided stories
for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yea, we need to check the interior
Of the system who cares about only one culture!
And THAT
Is why we gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back, come on! Come on!!
We gotta take the power back!
We gotta take the power back, come on! Come on!!
We gotta take the power back!
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 of 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 mothafuckin 'Weathermen'
To expose and close
the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
Because the circle of hatred continues unless we react!
We gotta take the power back, come on! Come on!!
We gotta take the power back!
We gotta take the power back, come on! Come on!!
We gotta take the power back!
No more lies!
