Lyrics

Power

[Intro: Pusha T]

Yeah, you think you got the power

You ain't got the power

You don't tell me that it's okay

I tell you that it's okay

You don't got the power

You don't have the power bitch, what

Yo, yo

[Verse 1: Pusha T]

Everybody freeze, do what I say, do as I please

Commandeer every ship I steer, follow my lead

Y'all runnin' out of time, cause Terrar runnin' out of speed

When I slow, blow up, guaranteed makin' you bleed

This ain't about needs, it's all about greed

And showin' niggas who got the power, drop to your knees

These bitches errand boys frontin' like they pushin' keys

When I catch 'em, bless 'em, start mama makin' they wreaths

Because I won't stop firin', till I hear that siren

See your blood trickle, or hear your baby cryin'

Sick of niggas lyin', actin' like they tryin'

To be kamikaze, when they scared of dyin'

No alibi, I got the power no one will testify

Take this lead shower and a black flower where you left to die, ooh

The Neptunes

Still life is so soothin', it hurts to see you movin'

So I counteract, take a step back and start shootin'

Terror hit a hollow-tooth frame, you and your dame

So when he wind blows, your bodies whistle likes cranes

Call me by celebrity name, I readily aim

To hit you in your chest, now your shirt readily stained

If there's one I didn't gun down, believe he'll be run down

Because I'm killin' every nigga from, sun up to sun down

Finish them, all adversaries diminishin'

And I'll flee the country 'fore I plead guilty or innocent

[Hook: Pusha T]

You don't have the power

You don't tell me it's okay, I tell you that it's okay

You don't have the power

When I say down, nigga lay down, nigga stay

You don't have the power

You don't tell me it's okay, I tell you that it's okay

You don't have the power

When I say down, nigga lay down, nigga stay

[Verse 2: Malice]

So you think that y'all can run with us

Nigga, is your ones big enough, comin' in the sums big enough

When it's time to go to war, is your guns big enough?

Or are you minor league, shit, I call your bluff

You got tough talk, but your walk, feminine

We startin' out wit' full clips, then empty 'em

From a pair of still Siamese twins, that cripple men

We can handle this like outlaws or gentlemen

And I die for the love of the dough's my sentiment

But for now, we be invading your block and tenements

Opposite end of a Glock gun, power, you ain't got none

Comply wit' every word that I say is your only option

And by full right, send your ass in full flight

Running over niggas like stampedes in bullfights

Power in our relationship, oh so intimate

Our love is limitless, we caress and deep kiss

Money's my only bitch so I get the stash out

Got me whipped on this shit, eat her and lick the ass out

We gon' live like it ain't no tomorrow in this shit

I'm going to wallow in this shit, got her swallowin' my shit

Have wax and flames on her, whips and chains on her

Malice and Terrar, Neptunes, runnin' trains on her

My niggas all blunted, with stacks of all hundreds

With no remorse 'cause all money got blood on it

[Hook: Pusha T]

You don't have the power

You don't tell me it's okay, I tell you that it's okay

You don't have the power

When I say down, nigga lay down, nigga stay

You don't have the power

You don't tell me it's okay, I tell you that it's okay

You don't have the power

When I say down, nigga lay down, nigga stay

[Bridge: Pusha T]

Listen to my machine gun

Listen to my machine gun, don't try to run

Listen to my machine gun

Listen to my machine gun, don't try to run

Listen to my machine gun

Listen to my machine gun, don't try to run

Listen to my machine gun

Listen to my machine gun, don't try to run

[Hook: Pusha T]

You don't have the power

You don't tell me it's okay, I tell you that it's okay

You don't have the power

When I say down, nigga lay down, nigga stay

You don't have the power

You don't tell me it's okay, I tell you that it's okay

You don't have the power

When I say down, nigga lay down, nigga stay

[Outro: Pusha T]

Listen to my machine gun

Listen to my machine gun, don't try to run

Listen to my machine gun

Listen to my machine gun, don't try to run

Listen to my machine gun

Listen to my machine gun, don't try to run

Listen to my machine gun

Listen to my machine gun, don't try to run
