Power to the People (Acapella)

[Hook]

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people (People, people)

Power to the people

Power to the people

[Verse 1: Blu & [?]]

Ninety percent of the brain unused

Eighty five percent is wanted truth

Five percent of knowledge from the gods on earth

One hundred percent knowledge is self rebirth

Of the nation from suffocation

The new generation don't know when judgement day is coming

You can hear I'm a deist playing somethin'

But it sounds like the drummer drumming

My mamma once said

"The devil doesn't know what you saying when you humming"

We coming

(Power to the people)

Who could spot the out-rising

Uniting shift the whole paradigm

Despite who the tyrant at the time is (Power to the people)

The undermined and the undivided

That one of a kind sign scientist tried synthesizing

But even if they find a way to mechanize it

We gon' still recognize the real by the acts of the people

[Hook]

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people (People, people)

Power to the people (People, people)

Power to the people

[Verse 2: [?] & [?] ]

Yeah, the meeting of the [?] minds

The people liberate the North Dakota pipeline

Way deeper than your twitter feed or timeline

The lord I hit you with a hard-knock or drive-by

(Power to the people)

Yeah, the power just to [?]

So free Mumia and bring some justice out to Walter Scott

I call the freedom fighters, never will I call the cop

And fuck the president 'cause we the one who call the shots

I hop about that [?]

Looking [?]

Drop a Desert Eagle fight for free but it ain't no equal for us

Mine extensions, mine convictions like Jenifer's horrors

Pour some liquor for my people leave some sequence for us

Power to the peoples, power to the folk and power when you vote

And if that power showers leave us soaked

Running with my blood and know blood ain't soaked

Give us free or give us heat and make them cowards go

(Power to the people)

[Bridge: Aloe Blacc]

We the power to the people

All we wanted was to be equal (Power to the people)

But when you shoot a little boy in the back because he black

You just a coward to the people (To the people)

Power to the people

We plant flowers let the seeds grow

Spread love let it shower away evil (Power to the people)

Power to the people

Don't nobody deserve all of the power

So when I get it, watch how I'm gonna give it to the people

(Power to the people)

We are the Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Marcus Garvey

(Power to the people)

Malcolm X and Nat Turner told me to soldier [?]

[Verse 3: [?] & [?]]

[?]

American [?]

Not the people and power is the power in the people

Patrolling our own ghetto no borders and police do

They still got a problem acknowledging us as equal

I got some [?] that [?] out Mexico

You can build your wall, bet it fall like Jerico

Imagine power for the powerless, Dollar for the Dollarless

Gender equality and then ending the poverty

Event a new policy

[?]

It's all abomination in a nation full of follow-mes

Not one leader 'cause the leaders get struck by hitters

Blindfold blind and shackles on their mind

And they claim they freed us

Before I was a fetus to feed us lies deceive us

Leave us astraine so the mental pain ain't never eases

Leaving diseases in our food when we can see through the evil

I and I stand up for the truth say it

[Hook]

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people (People)

Power to the people

Power to the people (People, people)

Power to the people (People, people)

(People, people)

Power to the people
