Lyrics

Fight the Power

[Intro]

1989!

1989!

[Verse 1]

The number, another summer (Get down!)

Sound of the funky drummer

Music hittin' your heart 'cause I know you got soul! (Brothers and sisters!)

Listen if you're missin', y'all, swingin' while I'm singin' (Hey!)

Givin' whatcha gettin'

Knowin' what I know and while the Black band's sweatin'

And the rhythm-rhyme rollin'!

Got to give us what we want (Uh!)

Gotta give us what we need (Hey! Haha!)

Our freedom of speech is freedom of death

We've got to fight the powers that be!

[Chorus]

Fight the power!

Fight the power!

Fight the power!

Fight the power!

Fight the power!

Fight the power!

Fight the power!

We gotta fight the powers that be!

[Verse 2]

As the rhythm's designed to bounce, what counts is that the

Rhyme's designed to fill your mind, now that you've

Realized the pride's arrived, we got to

Pump the stuff to make ya tough, from the heart

It's a start, a work of art

To revolutionize, make a change, nothin's strange

People, people! We are the same, no—

We're not the same 'cause we don't know the game

What we need is awareness, we can't get careless!

My beloved, let's get down

To business, mental self-defensive fitness

Bum-rush the show!

You gotta go for what you know!

To make everybody see!

In order to fight the powers that be!

[Chorus]

Fight the power!

Fight the power!

Fight the power!

Fight the power!

Fight the power!

Fight the power!

Fight the power!

We gotta fight the powers that be!

[Outro]

We gotta fight the powers that be!

We gotta fight the powers that be!

We gotta fight the powers that be!

We gotta fight the powers that be!

1989!

1989!

1989!

1989!
