Take the power back
In the right light, study becomes
insight
But the system that dissed us
Teaches us to read and write
So-called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their god
Lost the culture, the culture
lost
Spun our minds and through time
Ignorance has taken over
Yo, We gotta take the power
back
Bam, here's the plan
Mother fuck uncle Sam
Step back, I know who I am
Raise up your ear, I'll drop
the
style and clear
It's the beats and lyrics they
fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back
Chorus:
We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back
The present curriculums
I put my fist in em
Eurocentric every last one of
'em
See right through the red, white
and
Blue disguise
With lecture, I puncture the
Structure of lies
Installed in our minds and
attempting
To hold us back
We've got to take it back
'cause holes in our spirit are
causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years
and
years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yea, we need to check the interior
Of the system who cares about
only
one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back
Chorus
The teacher stands in front
of the
class
But the lesson plan he can't
recall
The student's eyes don't perceive
the lies
Bouncing off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the
fool
The complacent students sit
and
listen to the
Bullshit that he learned in
school
Europe ain't my rope to swing
on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it, gotta get it together
then
Like the mother fuckin' weathermen
To expose and close the doors
on
those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'cause the circle of hatred
continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back
Chorus
