Take the Power Back
In the right light, study becomes insightBut the system that dissed usTeaches us to read and write
So-called facts are fraudThey want us to allegeAnd pledgeAnd bow down to their GodLost the culture, the culture lostSpun our minds and through timeIgnorance has taken overWe gotta take the power backBam, here's the planMother fuck Uncle SamStep back, I know who I amRaise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clearIt's the beast and lyrics they fearThe rage is relentlessWe need a movement with quicknessYou are the witness of changeAnd to counteractWe gotta take the power back
[Chorus:]We gotta take the power backWe gotta take the power back
The president curriculumsI put my fist in 'emEurocentric every last one of 'emSee right through the red, white and blue disguiseWith lecture, I puncture the structure of liesInstalled in our minds and attemptingTo hold us backWe've got to take it back'Cause holes in our spirits causin' tears and fearsOne-sided stories for years and years and yearsI'm inferior? Who's inferior?Yea, we needa check the interiorOf the system who cares about only one cultureAnd that is whyWe gotta take the power back
[Chorus]
The teacher stands in front of the classBut the lesson plan he can't recallThe student's eyes don't percieve the liesBouncing of every fucking wallHis composure is well keptI guess he fears playing the foolThe complacent students sit and listen to theBull shit that he learned in school
Europe ain't my rope to swing onCan't learn a thing from itYet we hang from itGotta get it, gotta get it together thenLike the mother fuckin weathermenTo expose and close the doors on those who tryTo strangle and mangle the truth'Cause the circle of hatred continuesUnless we reactWe gotta take the power back
[Chorus]
No more lies!
