Fight the Power

Fight the Power - The Hit Crew

1989 the number another summer (Get down)

Sound of the f**king drummer

Music hitting your heart

Cause I know you got soul

(Brothers and sisters)

Listen if you're missing y'all

Swinging while I'm singing

Giving whatcha getting

Knowing what I know

While the whole bands sweating

And the rhythm rhymes rolling

Got to give us what we want

Gotta give us what we need

Our freedom of speech is freedom our death

We got to fight the powers that be

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

You gotta fight the powers that be

As the rhythm designed to bounce

What counts is that the rhyme

Designed to fill your mind

Now that you've realized the prides arrived

We got to pump the stuff to make us tough

From the heart

It's a start

A work of art

To revolutionize make a change nothing's strange

People people we are the same

No we're not the same

Cause we don't know the game

What we need is awareness

We can't get careless

You say what is this

My beloved lets get down to business

Mental self defensive fitness

Bum rush the show

You gotta go for what you know

And make everybody see

In order to fight the powers that be

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

You gotta fight the powers that be

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

You gotta fight the powers that be

Elvis was a hero to most

Elvis was a hero to most

Elvis was a hero to most

But he never meant sh*t to me you see

Straight up racist that sucker was

Simple and plain

Motherf**k him and John Wayne

Cause I'm black and I'm proud

And I'm ready I'm hyped plus I'm amped

Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

Take a look back and you'll look

And you'll find

Rednecks for 400 years if you check

(Man F**k Tha Police)

Was a number one jam

But soon as I say it

They can slap me right here

Let's get this party started right

(Right on come on)

What we got to say

Power to the people no delay

And make everybody see

In order to fight the powers that be

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

Fight the power

You gotta fight the powers that be

What we got to say

Fight the power

What we got to say

Fight the power

What we got to say

Fight the power

What we got to say

Fight the power
