Nigga be pressed to claim a street with a white man name
I pulled up to put you up on game
What’s ya focus? What ya doin’?
What you want out this life?
I want power can’t never be satisfied with fame
I’m just a man of the people
From ’round the way like the Beatles
I been exposed to new levels
I’m always tryna do better
Roll with my roadies like Cheadle
You say the top can get lonely
I say the bottom is lethal
I want the crown, I’m medieval
See us gettin this money, they still don’t see us as equals
They know that we don’t control shit, coming up in small doses
Sometimes I sit back and roll up and I think of my heroes
And so it goes, gain the world, lose ya soul
Skull and bones, Puffy Combs
Too many niggas dead and gone when they just got on
And I be lying if I said it’s nothing wrong
Sometimes I sit back and roll up and I just think of my heroes
And so it goes, gain the world, lose ya soul
Skull and bones, Puffy Combs
Power, power, power
Oh, power, power, power
Put down your God and pick up your Bible (yeah)
Put down your picket signs and pick up your rifle (brrat, brrat, brrat, brrat, brrat)
Messages conflicting twisting on my mental, love on your enemies
Don’t you trust your kinfolk (ay, fuck them niggas over there, man)
Family feuding on (he always need somethin’
American dream boats (he always askin’ for money)
Top of the food chain, what them people kill for (huh?)
Down your knees and pray up to God or
Stand on your feet and rise above all, uh
As a child I was miseducated
I grew up praising power, guns, drugs misogynation
Fire inside, blazing constantly waikin’
Me and demons engaging in conversation on how we finna get paid
But through it all placed my hands on my balls, that’s a power grab (yeah)
They see a black man shinning they’ll shoot them down fast (yeah)
Fuck, CEOs taking ya shows and firing you at night like Nick, that’s a Cannon blast
They’ll try to under cut your ass, but out your cast
Say you crazy as hell, Chappelle status
Ceos taking ya shows and firing you at night like Nick, that’s a Cannon blast
(Power, power, power) shit
That shit powerful right there (oh)
(Power, power, power) you know what’s the wild shit?
I just named my daughter Power
And niggas thought I was crazy for that (power, power, power, power, power)
Hey, call me crazy
‘Cause niggas that think they was crazy enough (power, power, power, power, power)
To change the world, the ones to actually do that shit
I got you (power)
Whether what I do you into or not (not)
I done been to the top (top)
And I done been to through a lot (lot)
And if I offend you or not (mh)
I might convince you to stop (stop)
See, I’ve done been in the room (room)
Watch others bend and assume (‘sume)
And I’ve got friends in the tomb (woo)
Boy, I’ve done been in the back (back)
And I have witnessed the axe (axe)
What kind of business is that? (That)
A slave masters business is black (is black)
But I have listened
I’ve done been in a compromising position
I’ve done been in their pockets to get on the playlist
I’ve done been in the system
But I hit different (different)
This industry shit different (different)
Its a major motion picture budget
It’s lit different (different)
My wrist different (different)
And every woman I’m with’s different (different)
Try going back to the old you sometime and you’ll miss different (different)
But the corporate is morbid
They wanna put a mark in your forehead
A quake in their handshake
But you fake for the fan’s sake
But I’m better than average
And I deserve to have this
And I mean mug the men in the suits and ties
Lookin’ at me like I’ma bad bitch
But I never lost my religion, so I’m lucky
When a lot of these artists right here thinking to themselves
“Damn, why don’t nobody wanna fuck me?”
So glad that I’m ugly, boy, stop I’m beautiful
These motherfuckers’ll kill you
Be in the front seat of your funeral
Just want you to know
Remain a man every minute of your hour
A lot of these motherfuckers be all plugs with no power
(Power, power, power)
Yeah so let the words of my mouth
And the meditation in my heart
Be acceptable in the sight of the Most High
(Ohh, power, power, power) yeah
Pretty much all I’m sayin’ is
I’ma do what I can and I’ma let God do what I can’t
(Power, power, power, power, power) shit
I’m just tryna make it ‘fore the light change
And I’ll fall off like a bike chain
It’s a minor set back for a major comeback
Shit, we do everything all black (hey, hey)
(Power, power, power, power, power) we own that shit
We reppin’ for all Blacks
That’s why they had to get my shit back
Power
