They got us buckin and muckin

And workin jerkin and hurtin

They pullin curtains for certain

And i don't know if it's workin

They make us cut at each other

Make use forget that we're brothers

They make us hate and berate

And they make us late for the gate

We've got to seek and believe

We need to love and retrieve

We've got to jump to the front of the line

Now is the time we decline

Let 'em know

Fuck no

This ain't gonna go

Stop stealin and killin

Stop stompin and lyin

Give us the power back (i want the power back)

Power!

Don't care what you want from me

I'm livin too close to the edge to see

I'm layin down now with your knee on my neck

I need to breathe but I find myself wrecked

And you flex

Now brother

Lock me up you can swallow the key

But you need to believe i'll get free

Before you reach me

Power

I'm seekin power

You wouldn't like me none

If we came across each other in the sun

And i don't think i'd dig you much either

Because i look like you

But i don't talk you

And i ain't nothin like you want in a leader

But i been cuttin and scratchin

And i been screamin and bleedin

And i don't need you breathin breedin and killin

My brothers sisters and lovers

My fuckin silence it suffers

And i don't even want you sayin my name

I've got an end game

Power

Don't care what you want from me

I'm livin too close to the edge to see

I'm layin down now with your knee on my neck

I need to breathe but I find myself wrecked

And you flex

Now brother

Lock me up you can swallow the key

But you need to believe i'll get free

Before you reach me

Power

I'm seekin power

Hulabaloo

We gonna do what we wanna do

And what we wanna do

Is not have you

Stomping on our friends mother fucker

Stop it

Stop it!

We'll get the power back

Whether you like it or not

We're seekin power!

Don't care what you want from me

I'm livin too close to the edge to see

I'm layin down now with your knee on my neck

I need to breathe but I find myself wrecked

And you flex

Now brother

Lock me up you can swallow the key

But you need to believe i'll get free

Before you reach me

Power

I'm seekin power
