What Kind of Power We Got?

Yo, another day, another 49 cents

Mr., Mr., why you always tryin' to take all our money?
Because I'm the government
And you-u-u have to pay
Stop tryin' to take our money!

Yo, you gotta bust this
We want justice
From public enemy number one
To can't trust this
Like F Jim or Hyatt
Because we're sick and fuckin' tired
Of being mistreated by the undefeated
Powers in the seat that can't be beat
Probably gone is the head that make clear to the feet
The two worlds are talkin', plus crooked walkin'
Blind to the fact that the enemy is stalking
For ways for days to search United States quiet
We're not a full power cause of racial riot
In my neighborhood, we attempt to kill each other
Politics said fuck power to the brother
Be strong be righteous, don't be no sinister
I got the word from brother minister (minister)
Farrakhan speaks, and so does Muhammad
The days of Ramadan is protected, you can't harm it
My statement is the fact to the highest degree
Flavor works this style, you can't touch me

Bring it on (I know you got soul)

Goin' on it, get it, gotta get it on
Goin' on it, get it, gotta get it on
Goin' on it, get it, gotta get it on
Goin' on it, get it, gotta get it on

Yo, some seek stardom (Goin' on it, get it, gotta get it on)
And forgot all about Harlem (Goin' on it, get it, gotta get it on)
Yo, Fugess (Goin' on it, get it, gotta get it on)
Rock the house!

(Goin' on it, get it, gotta get it on)
Now I don't know
But tell me what you gonna do
When the ending of time comes near
Whatever you do, it's gotta be funky
I'm not tryin' to put your life in full of fear!
By the Flava skies we are flyin'
The truth we be buyin'
To buy in all the lying
How you livin'
Why you livin'
Where you livin'
It ain't got to be like that, by only givin'
It was your own choice, sratched up your Rolls Royce
Every childish friend you had was glad to rejoice
And turning in the nut, trying to make the pockets fatter
One shot in the head, everybody scatter!
The world's gonna catch on fire
A funeral pyre is the hard-headed people's desire
Every lyin' tryer will turn into a cryer
Who will just sit back, thinkin' higher and higher
Friends will always move 'til you get to barb wire
Every cop in law gets a flat tire

Right here on the map we stayin'
