You By The Power Of You

INTRO
It's you by the power of you
You by the power of you
It's you by the power of you
You by the power of you
Check me out yo'
Uh, uh
You by the power of you
Uh, yo', yo'

VERSE ONE
They pull the wool over your eyes and try to tell you how to live
But something ain't right just like the 2nd Aunt Viv
When I step outta of my crib I’mma tell the world about me
Can never convince me to ever doubt me
There’s two types of people, reactive, proactive
And I don’t lеt a magazine measure if I’m attractivе
And I won’t let the media measure me by my accent
No one can make me feel inferior cos I’m a black kid
No I wasn’t raised like that
The path that I engraved isn’t paved like that
But when your mind is enslaved, you behave like that
I ain't trying to be trapped in a fucking maze like that
See what I’m trying to say is be you, multiplied by you
To the power of you, let the world see you
Let them guys see you and let them girls see you
Cos ain’t nobody gonna tell your story like you

CHORUS (x2)
By the power of you
That's all it's gotta be
Everyday
Cos every day's a new beginning for your spirit
Don't you know your world is yours without a limit?
(yours without a limit)

VERSE TWO
(Check it out yo')
Not everybody gonna like ya'
Somebody gonna love ya' and somebody gonna fight ya'
Somebody wanna hug ya' and somebody wanna spite ya'
Somebody will inspire you', somebody gonna bite ya'
Somebody gone hate ya', that’s nature
They do it everyday from newspapers to TV stations
And when you get successful they will call you a mason
Try and crush your foundation on every occasion
But you shouldn’t fall victim to the art of persuasion
When they say it’s a democracy, but it’s a dictation
Psychological invasion for crazy durations
And they no longer force us, we making donations
See what I’m trying to say is be you, multiplied by you
To the power of you, let the world see you
And let them guys see you and let them girls see you
Cos can’t nobody really tell your story like you

CHORUS

VERSE THREE
Nobody is above you
Only God can judge you, no man should corrupt you
The choice is only up to you to look up to you
To instructing you
For whatever it takes to get the best life and spare change
Nobody's the same, even blood who share a name... different
The thoughts in my mind on a daily basis... different
The things that I like and my favourite places... different
The speed that I go when I’m running races... different
Even as a kid did my shoelaces different
I’ll go the distance just to make a difference
To the whole universe or even just one listener
See what I’m trying to say is be you
Multiplied by you, to the power of you
Let the world see you
Let them guys see you and let them girls see you
Cos can’t nobody really live your life like you

CHORUS

OUTRO (x4)
By the power of you is all you gotta do (by the power of you)
