Is this thing on? Oh, I thought they silenced us, Ye Power to the people
Rumble, young man, rumble Life is a trip, so sometimes, we gon’ stumble You gotta go through pain in order to become you But once the world numbs you, you’ll feel like it’s only one you Now you got the power to do anything you want to Until you ask yourself, “Is this what it’s all come to?” Lookin’ at life through sunglasses and a sunroof You have the power to get out from up under you Fuck Rollies, labels, fuck what everybody wants from you They tryna Axl Rose you, welcome to the jungle To be continued, we on that Norman Mailer shit In search of the truth, even if it goes through Taylor Swift Tell her this

Now when I walk in, everybody do the “Power” clap Clap, clap, clap Fresh for the club, I just took a half an hour nap Clap, clap, clap I seen people go crazy on the whole world, an hour lap Clap, clap, clap My socket was out the plug, now it’s time to get the power back Clap, clap I seen people abuse power, use power, misuse and then lose power Power to the people at last, it’s a new hour Now we all ain’t gon’ be American Idols But you can least grab a camera, shoot a viral Huh? Take the power in your own hands I’m a grown man, doin’ my grown dance I don’t stop until I see the end, my vision clear, bitch I’m on my Van Gogh, I don’t hear shit
No one man should have all that power The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power ‘Til then, fuck that, the world’s ours
And then they And then they And then they And then they And then they And then they
Now everything I’m rhymin’ on cause a Ramadan Been a don, prayin’ for the families lost in the storm Bring our troops back from Iraq, keep our troops out of Iran So the next couple bars, I’ma drop them in Islam They say asalaamalaikum, wa’salaikum asalaam That’s no Oscar Mayer bacon, you should run and tell your moms Now the question is, how we gon’ stop the next Vietnam? Keep Flex out of Korea, ’cause you know he drop bombs
