Fight the Power (Demo)

[Intro]
(We're right at the beginning?)
Yep, let's go

[Verse 1]
Nineteen eighty nine
The number, another summer (Get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hittin' your heart because I know you got soul (Brothers and sisters)
Listen what you're missin' y'all
Swingin' while I'm singin'
Givin' whatcha gettin'
Knowin' what I know
While a black man's sweating
While the rhythm rhymes rollin'
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

[Chorus]
Lemme hear you say
Fight thе power
(Fight the power)
Fight thе power
(Fight the power)
Fight the power
(Fight the power)
Fight the power
We've got to fight the powers that be

[Verse 2]
Lemme hear you say
Elvis was a hero to most
Buddy Elvis was a hero to most
Buddy Ebsen was a hero to most
Buddy Rich was a hero to most
Buddy Hackett was a hero to most
Nutty Buddy was a hero to most
But they never meant shit to me
See how straight up racist the sucker was
Simple and plain

[Chorus]
We 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
