Power to the People

[Hook]
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people (People, people)
Power to the people
Power to the people

[Verse 1: Blu & [?]]
Ninety percent of the brain unused
Eighty five percenters want the truth
Five percent of knowledge from the gods on earth
One hundred percent knowledge is self rebirth
Of the nation from suffocation
The new generation don't know when judgement day is coming
You can hear Amadeus playing somethin'
But it sounds like the drummer drumming
My mom always said
"The devil doesn't know what you saying when you humming"
We coming
(Power to the people)
Who could spark the uprising
Unite and shift the whole paradigm
Despite who the tyrant at the time is (Power to the people)
The undermined, the undivided
That one of a kind sign scientist tried synthesizing
But even if they find a way to mechanize it
We gon' still recognize the real by the acts of the people

[Hook]
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people (People, people)
Power to the people (People, people)
Power to the people

[Verse 2: [?] & <>[?]<> ]
Yeah, the meeting of divine minds
The people liberate the North Dakota pipeline
Way deeper than your twitter feed or timeline
The Lord'll hit you in the heart like a drive-by
(Power to the people)
Yeah, the power just to alter thoughts
So free Mumia and bring some justice out to Walter Scott
I call the freedom fighters, never will I call the cop
And fuck the president 'cause we the one who call the shots
I hop about that Regal... looking regal, look
Drop a Desert Eagle fight for free but ain't no equal for us
Mind extensions, my convention's like Geneva's horrors
Pour some liquor for my people leave some Seagrams for us
Power to the peoples
Power to the folk and power when you vote
And if that power showers leave us soaked
Running with my blood and know blood ain't soaked
Give us free or give us heat and make them cowards go
(Power to the people)

[Bridge: Aloe Blacc]
We yellin' power to the people
All we wanted was to be equal (Power to the people)
But when you shoot a little boy in the back because he black
You just a coward to the people (To the people)
Power to the people
We plant flowers let the seeds grow
Spread love let it shower away evil (Power to the people)
Power to the people
Don't nobody deserve all of the power
So when I get it, watch how I'm gonna give it to the people
(Power to the people)
We are the Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Marcus Garvey
(Power to the people)
Malcolm X and Nat Turner, taught me to Sojourner, [?]

[Verse 3: [Fashawn] & [?]]
I wonder how you'll get fat with this
American pie that I'ma feed you
Not the people in power it's the power in the people
Patrol our own ghetto don't bother sending police through
They still got a problem acknowledging us as equal
I got some primo's that they crawled out Mexico
You can build your wall, bet it fall like Jericho
Imagine power for the powerless, dollars for the dollarless
And gender equality and the ending of poverty
Invent a new policy to crush the idolatry
It's all abomination in a nation full of follow-me's
Not one leader 'cause the leaders get struck by heaters
Blindfold blind, shackles on their mind and they claim they freed us
Before I was a fetus to feed us lies deceive us
Leave us estranged so the mental pain it never eases
Leaving diseases in our food but we can see through evil
I and I stand up for the truth say it

[Hook]
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people (People)
Power to the people
Power to the people (People, people)
Power to the people (People, people)
(People, people)
