03.Power
chorus:
God take king, king take jack jack take queen
cause she never talk back queen take 10, faceless down to one, aceless
that’s the power stack that’s the power stack P.O.W.E.R
Power the essence of everything see it everyday, power fucked everywhere not looking underfed
swinging on your life better duck
power stay in the hands of the few
they call it good business we call it bad luck
they call it class war when we fight back power on the attack
it stay raw
you better have a team
a crew
someone give a fuck bout you our humanity can survive
if we want it to
Black cat best we can get remove their power
boot from the face
put them in their place
down with the rest of us
the human race
humanity decentralized plenty of us, we ready to ride cause we know the time know what i mean
pull the curtain back
fuck with the game exposed unseen
concentrated power in your face your worth is based on the money that you make and the power you control
---- fuck the content of your character, sell that soul
cutting them teeth, sharp as fuck, you going on in it don’t look up
(chorus)
I’m held responsible
for the things i say and do held accountable
but that’s for us
not their position
it’s a double standard undeniable
power she’s so desirable met her in the hallway she
was crying though, no peace they want me all for themselves but i need to be shared otherwise i create a beast
of authority......creep
that’s not what i wanna be
girl, good looking out
i say, i stay
calm cool collected
cause i took the time
and i reflected
no kings no queens
till we all got crowns
and we run our towns
we grown up
their patriarchal dream
getting sewn up
done left that hierarchy
cause we showed up
their power and corruption more than an abstract concept or my assumption
they are in the business of creating the illusion,
that we have a choice
but these options they set up for us, it’s their agenda
where’s our voice
we need to help
ourselves together
severe that mentality
that keeps us
locked down, pleather
fake world
feeling like a guest
in your own house
they took it from us
and i know now
Poverty penalties
punish the poor
this is the score
we are not born free
it’s hardcore
divided on the map
all in the stack
power trap
cutting them teeth
sharp as fuck
you going on in itdon’t look up
(chorus)
