Power Lyrics by EARTHGANG, CeeLo Green, & Nick Cannon
N**** be pressed to claim a street with a white man name.
I pulled up to put you up on game.
Whats ya focus?
What ya doin?
What you want out this life?
I want power can’t never be satisfied with fame.
I’m just a man of the people
From round the way like the Beatles
I been exposed to new levels
I’m always tryna do better
Roll with my roadies like Cheadle
You say the top can get lonely
I say the bottom is lethal
I want the crown I’m medieval
See us gettin this money they still don’t see us as equals
They know that we don’t control shit.
coming up in small doses.
Sometimes I sit back and roll up and think of my heroes
and so it goes…
gain the world lose ya soul
Skull and bones
Puffy Combs
Too many n***** dead and gone
when they just got on
And I be lying if I said its nothing wrong.
Sometimes I sit back and roll up and think of my heroes
and so it goes…
gain the world lose ya soul
Skull and bones
Puffy Combs
Power, power, power
Power, power, power
Put down your God and pick up your bible (what)
Put down your picket signs pick up your rifle.
Messages conflicting twisting on my metal, love on your enemies,
Don’t you trust your kinfolk.
Family feuding on American dream boats,
top of the food chain what them people kill for,
down your knees and pray up to God or,
stand on your feet and rise above all,
As a child I was miseducated,
I grew up praising power Guns, drugs misogynation,
fire inside, blazing constantly waiting, me and demons engaging in conversation on how we finna get paid,
But Through it all placed my hands on my balls, that’s a power grab. They see a black man shinning they’ll shoot them down fast.
Fuck CEOs taking ya shows and firing you at night like Nick that’s a Cannon blast.
They’ll try to under cut your ass, but out your cast.
Say you crazy as hell Chappelle status,
CEOs takin your shoes and firing you at night like Nick, that’s a Cannon blast
(Power, power, power
Power, power, power,
Power)
(Nick Cannon)
Shit that shit powerful right there
You know what’s the wild shit
I just named my daughter Power
And n***** thought I was crazy for that
Hey call me crazy and n***** that think they was crazy enough to change the world are the ones to actually do that shit
(CeeLo)
Whether what I do you into or not
I done been to the top
And done been to thru a lot
And if I offend you or not
I might convince you to stop
See I’ve done been in the room
Watch others and assume
And I’ve got friends in the tomb
Boy I’ve done been in the back
And I have witnessed the axe
What kind of business is that
A slave masters business is black
But I have listened
I’ve done been in a compromising position
I’ve done been in their pockets to get on the playlist
I’ve done been in the system
But I am different
This industry shit different
Its a major motion picture budget
Its lit different
My wrist different
And every woman I’m with’s different
Try going back to the old you sometime and you miss different
But the corporate is morbid
They wanna put a mark in your forehead
A quake in their handshake
But too fake for the fans sake
But I’m better than average
And I deserve to have this
And I mean mug men in the suits and ties
Lookin like Imma bad bitch
But I never lost my religion
So I’m lucky
When a lot of these artists right here
Thinking to themselves like “damn why don’t none of them wanna fuck me?”
So glad that I’m ugly
Boy stop I’m beautiful
These motherfuckers will kill you
Be at the front seat of your funeral
Just want you to know
Remain a man every minute of your hour
Cuz a lot of these motherfuckers be all plugs with no power
(Power, power, power
Power, power, power
Power, power, power
Power, power, power)
Yeah so let the words of my mouth and the meditation in my heart be acceptable
And excite to the Most High
Yeah pretty much all I’m sayin is
Imma do what I can and Imma let God do what I can
So I’m just tryna make it before the light change
And I’ll fall off like a bright chain
It’s a minor set back for a major comeback
Shit we do everything
All Black we own this shit
We workin for all Blacks
Thats why I had to get my shit back
Power
