Power Trip

[Klassy]

High on a power trip
Knock them off the high horse
??? got no love for snitches (of course)
Now just in the belly for you to wear that uniform
Have you ever heard of overseerers? you ain't nothing more
"damn Nina why you hating? I'm a good cop"
You gotta wake up homey, that's a fucked up job
Think about it, who work the laws you're paid to enforce?
Think about it, you're only trained to show no remorse
Get away with murdering the line and making it alright
"told the court i shot on site cos i feared for my life"
You're a tool for white supremacy
"no i'm not"
Compare how many black and white folks the prison got
Tell my how much money the system makes for every inmate
Paid administrative leave for every life you take
You corruptive mother fuckers think you got us in check
But when the people's had enough, you best protect your neck

Tell me what's power to you
Is it money is it fame, is it influence your name
Over instruments and kicks
Tell me whats power to you
Take a little taste of what you spit
And more power to you if you got it and you never drip
All i see around here is this imbalance of power
Eyeing these mimes and these cowards hiding in ivory towers
??? so we work by the hour
Another morning that we mourn until our seeds turn to flowers
See the ones that claim power be the ones that lack them
And they criminalise youth and the brown and black men
All these pigs with the sticks never fire from positions
Where we from these pigs on a stick in a fires position
Cowards that power trip ?? out of it, counterfeit, how is it that now that you out of it that they feeling the power
So we working overtime ??? never people power
Displacement overtime just to give in to the power
??? i'm tired of being powerless and me
??? no power left in me
I wanna see my sisters grow the power that they seek
I hope to see my daughters fill the power when they speak
