[Hook: E L U C I D]
Power, you don't know what to do with it
Power, you don’t know what to do with it
Power, you don't know what to do with it
Power, you don't know what to do with it
You don’t know what to do with it
[Verse 1: billy woods]
A story you heard turned to something you done
Creature jerked awake, air in its lungs
That first lie is the one
It's daughters and sons run barefoot through the house
Pink gums, tiny sharp teeth, every lie was young once
It rained for a month, more maybe
On the ark, Noah was drunk (talkin' crazy)
Tuggin' his belt out the loops
Hit him with the one-two, nigga, what you want?
I'm not a kid anymore, I'ma break your fuckin' jaw (keep playin' with me)
Eleven minutes later, police at the door
The world different from the back of a police car
Mom look old, Daddy beat down and small
Some hid when they heard the call, some slid
Some begged he’d forgive
I threw a sheet up, sharpened the shiv
Storm in a teacup, sip the brim
Crush peanuts, goat ribs, red oil to the rim
Red sunsets that never end
The serpent coiled in his den
Spoiled meat on the wind
Boiled beef intestine, tomorrow lookin’ grim
We ate facing away, our light dimmed
But everything done in the dark come to light at the end
Every day I walk past people beggin' to live
Every day I walk past the living dead
From me, they didn’t get a cent
[Hook: E L U C I D]
You don't know what to do with it
You don't know what to do with it
Power, you don't know what to do with it
You don’t know what to do with it
Power, you don't know what to do with it
Power, you don't know what to do with it
[Verse 2: E L U C I D]
Blood in, blood out, are we not men?
What haunts your mouth?
The spread is thin, no way to talk it out
I'm at the bend, find a way about
Trickin' slim in the face, you on that shit, huh?
Getting mine and then some
Hidden door in the shrine, spinning
Dictate, book of the beginnings
Question every plated dish of Dim Sum
The split tongue thrills women, kills demons
A fool's demeanor, but I keep my reasons
In and out of reeds, where the lions gnash
It's too dark to snuff a light, who hid inside the bag
Black soap bather, they can kiss my ass
Anyway you want it?
Bet he Flexi With Da Tech, careful where you step
Sure you wanna rep that?
The art of getting over, extra get back
Adding on, shoulders broad
Swinging from the hip, caught him
Wisdom for the wise
We walk in the sun on this side
Exit mothership, voice like ten thousand wind chimes
Straight face, I'm zippin' on the inside
I don't get the star talk
My lips cracked in winter by the boardwalk
Get the kid a sitter, pouring bitters in the seltzer
Tell me how it felt, was it well worth?
Suck me with the teeth pierce
Salt water seaweed, drapin'
Fourth quarter, suns out, tongues out, taste it
Listenin' my good ear, this place is too crowded
Once upon a block you tell it proudest
They gon' find it if you thump or not
Who's laughin' loudest?
They gon' find it if you thump or not
Who's laughin' loudest?

You don't know what to do with it

Power, you don't know what to do with it
