P.O.W.A. Lyrics
[Intro]
Kid Kamillion
[Chorus]
Don't you wanna tell me if you're gonna
Put down your armor, promise no more drama
[Verse 1]
Throw up my hands I say, "I'm not Dalai Lama"
Throw up my hands say, "I'm not Obama"
I'm not Osama, Monsanto farmer
I don't drink no soda, I believe in Karma
They try to shut me down, I've still got the power
They try to hate me but I still be that lover
I know my mind, in me I'm gonna find
This is my time and I'm searching for the signs
Throw up my hands, say "this is people power"
Throw up my finger and I'm taking on the Tower
[Chorus]
Don't you wanna tell me if you're gonna
Put down your armor, promise no more drama
[Refrain]
Power
Pow-pow-pow-power
Power
Pow-pow-pow-power
[Verse 2]
You know me, I don't watch TV
People watching me are only gonna see
I'm not your enemy, FBI checking me
Curbing my money, but that don't bother me
I'm much tougher, I don't need the buffer
I keep it light, keep my head out the gutter
[Refrain]
Power
Pow-pow-pow-power
[Interlude]
I'mma do it now, I'mma do it—
I'mma do it now, I'mma do it—
I'mma do it now, I'mma show you how
Pop-pop-pa-pa-pop-pop-pa-pa
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pow
[Verse 3]
Put your hands up, put your middle fingers in the air
M.I.A. make it spray, like it's raining up in here
Think you're getting baptized, with the sweat on your tee
Where, where, where, you say where my water there
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa, I say pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
You say wa-wa-wa-wa-wa, I say pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Supa-Kala fascist, racist, espi-ala-tazers
Posers with cases, they better not erase us
Better come face us
[Bridge]
Hey
I'm not Rihanna, I'm not Madonna
I'm not Mariah, or Ariana
I've been around in this world causing drama
The real spice girl, hot girl power
[Outro]
Don't you wanna, tell me if you're gonna
Put down your armor, promise no more drama
Throw up my hands, say "this is people power"
Throw up my finger and I'm taking on the Tower
