D|--------------------------------|------------------------| -PART 1 In the right light, study becomes insight But the systems 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 thier God Lost the culture, the culture lost Spun our minds and through time Ignorance has taken over We gotta take the power back Bam! here's the plan Mother *** 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 -PART 2 The present curriculums I put my fist in 'em Eurocentric every last on e 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 gotta take the power back 'Cause holes in our spirit are causin' tears and fears One-sides stories for years and years and years I'm inferior? Who's inferior? Yea, we needa check the interior Of the system who cares about only one culture And that is why We gotta take the power back -CHORUS -SOLO -PART 3 -PART 4 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 ***ing wall His composure is well kept I guess he fears playing the fool The complacent students sit and listen to the Bull*** that he learned in school -PART 5 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 ***in' 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 -No more lies
