The power of God's in you (show and prove)
 The power of God's in you (show and prove)
 The power of God's in you (show and prove)
 True  The time has come through
 Chose the few  must show and prove

 [Intro: Inspectah Deck *in the the background of the chorus*]
 Yea  this is the power  true power
 Showin and provin

 [Inspectah Deck]
 I once asked God to forgive for my sins
 Bent on my knees pleadin to be heavenly cleansed
 Said the Holy Ghost changed the ways and actions of men
 When I stood, I felt the same as if I just walked in
 I was twelve at the time, held nines, held mines
 A frail mind, criminal thoughts well-designed
 Then the Older Gods put me on, on how to rock this
 Maintain, 360, lord and live prosperous
 His jewel was priceless, keep the cypher righteous
 Bare in mind, God, some of your own won't like this
 I'm mentally scarred, recooperatin from abrasure
 Fooled by interpretations made from a traitor
 It's in my nature, I was taught, that's the first law
 Obtain the food, clothin and the shelter that I search for
 The fire in my eyes is hot as Earth's core
 What hurts more, the fact that we still dirt poor
 In hard times force crimes out of honest man
 And most fiend to see the so-called promised land
 Sun of Man, knowledge, wisdom and understand
 that it's time to take matters in our own hands

 [Chorus]

 [Inspectah Deck]
 The wicked ways of the world can't escape sin
 I'm facin masses gun on the plantation
 Seen source from home yet I'm still caved in
 Cuz 9000 miles is such a long way to swim
 and many die tryin to survive the next mile
 Famillies was raised as slaves and exiled
 I learned it as a child, knowledge be the key
 to unlock your brain and set your mindstate free
 It's true, the times come through, chose the few
 Show and prove, the power of God's in you
 or remain a savage in pursuit of happiness
 Who lacks jewels, love and peace completes the package
 The fact is five out a hundred know the truth
 The wisdom might blow the roof when shown and proved

 [Chorus]

 [Inspectah Deck]
 Through the course of time, we was dumb, deaf and blind
 Now we on the incline, build with one mind
 Came a long way, but, yo, we still far behind
 So, uplift the mind, God, rise and shine
 I speak to the black-bellied yellow seeds
 My fellow breed all races, colors and creeds
 Search for the knowledge, use science and math
 and be queens and kings like the centuries past
 The devil tried to fool my people, said we was equal
 But I believe him when my culture sees freedom
 You beat 'em with the positive thoughts, you don't need em
 Leave him in the dirt, let the blood suckers see him

 [Chorus to fade
