[Verse 1]
Change, change *irri*, change the game with it
I just maintain, I just do my thing with it
Too many humans do the same dang iddish
Replaceable them they're slave in this busnitch
Getting paid until the next craze hits
Finna get paid, then switching lanes with the business
Six minutes of fame and then the name drifts quick
Who's pulling the strings, who's placing all the kids in here
Bruh, is it the puppet or the puppeteer?
I think it's power to the people with the numbers here
Without the players, yo, the coaches couldn't function in this
But what's a bucket if there's no gas to guzzle in it
Stuck, it's just potentially an idea
But Hip-Hop kids invented all these ideas
The pioneers already came and made a market for this
[Hook]
We need a catalyst to spark another powershift
We be the catalyst to spark another powershift
Money and politics produce the same change in here
Let's not forget about the lust and all the ambition
Desire, putting the fires to the powershift
We need a catalyst to spark another powershift
We be the catalyst to spark another powershift
Desire, putting the fires to the powershift
Burn it up
[Verse 2]
Producers did it, did it a while back
Now if this song is hot, it's all about the track
Musicians tryna get on and so they shop for that
Beatmakers outta the woodwork screaming "I got that!"
*Friggy-uh*, found the new niche just to supply demand
You vid... your video ain't even got a chance
Without the video hoe and she ain't gotta dance
To shake it, uh, hypnotic and apply the trance
To flip the script, another powershift in this
Until the vixen gets paid more than the rapper did
From the video, she even got another gig
The body strap was wack, pull it, didn't fuck with it
So is the, the pu... pulling the puppeteer?
Creating powershifts to the monotonous
Does art imitate life or is it visa vers?
Humans, them do the choosing from the opposite
So what it is, did the power trip create the powershift?
Corrupted politics create the powershift
Does the dollar bill relate the powershift?
Those in power here, ever gonna acknowledge?
[Hook]
We need a catalyst to spark another powershift
We be the catalyst to spark another powershift
Money and politics produce the same change in here
Let's not forget about the lust and all the ambition
Desire, putting the fires to the powershift
We need a catalyst to spark another power shift
We be the catalyst to spark another power shift
Desire, putting the fires to the powershift
Burn it up
[Verse 3]
It's the new world, yeah, we here, baby!
The way some of us got it though, we still crazy
Never had iddish and so we still take it
Realness, resilience it's still patient
Shift the power moulding all the players for the trip (Mould em)
Intelligence it be the real game here
Bu-building a ship to make a movement with it
Some Nas and Extra P iddish to Stay Chisel
I lay down the law like Johnny Cochrain
Sep-separate the twins like Ben Carson did it
Inventive and spin it like Cabo Washington
I send the crowd into a stereo like Pryor did it
[Hook]
We be the catalyst to spark another powershift
We be the catalyst to spark another powershift
We be the catalyst to spark another powershift
We be the catalyst to spark another powershift
We be the catalyst to spark another powershift
We be the catalyst to spark another powershift
We be the catalyst to spark another powershift
We be the catalyst to spark another powershift
Burn it up!
